STEP 5 - THE FINISHING TOUCHES
a.
Use the hair clipper without an attachment comb for close trimming around the
base and sides of the neck.
b.
To produce a clean straight line at the sideburns, reverse the hair clipper. Place
the reversed hair clipper at right angles to the head, tips of the blades lightly
touching the skin and then work downwards.
TAPER LEVER
Your hair clipper has a taper lever located on the left side of the clipper near the blades.
Adjust the lever to change the closeness of the cut gradually and also to improve the
effectivness of the comb attachments (for blending between layers). The taper lever also
extends the life of the blades because a different cutting edge is used in each setting.
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
To ensure long lasting performance of your hair clipper, clean the blades and unit
regularly. Always keep the blade cover on the hair clipper blade.
NOTE: Ensure that the hair clipper is turned off and unplugged when cleaning.
AFTER EACH USE
1.
Ensure the hair clipper is switched off and disconnected from the mains
household power outlet.
2.
Brush the accumulated hair from the blades. Do not submerge the hair clipper in
water.
3.
To clean the body of the unit, wipe with a damp cloth and dry immediately.
4.
Gently blow the remaining hairs away from the hair clipper comb and hair clipper
blade. Do not rinse the cutter assembly under water.
EVERY SIX MONTHS
At regular intervals the blade set should be removed and cleaned.
1.
Ensure that the hair clipper is empty of power, is switched off and disconnected
from the mains household power outlet.
2.
Remove the two screws retaining the fixed blade with a screwdriver. Do not
remove the blade set.
3.
Blow out hairs from between the blades. Do not remove the lubricating grease
from the blades. It is not necessary to remove the small moving blade from
the unit. If the moving blade has been removed this can be re-fitted by slotting
the long grooved edge of the blade onto the two white plastic guide ridges and
then seating the blade over the plastic actuator bar. The fixed blade is fitted
