STEP 5 – THE FINISHING TOUCHES
• Use the clipper without an attachment comb for close trimming around the base and
sides of the neck.
• To produce a clean straight line at the sideburns, reverse the hair clipper. Place the
reversed clipper at right angles to the head, tips of the blades lightly touching the skin
and then work downwards.
SHORT TAPERED STYLES – “FLAT TOPS” & SHORT CUTS
• Starting with the longest guide comb attached (24 - 42mm), cut from the back of the
neck to the crown. Hold the guide comb flat against the head and slowly move the
clipper through the hair.
• Use the same procedure from the lower side to the upper side of the head. Then cut the
hair against the direction in which it grows and level with the sides.
• To give a “flat top” look, the hair on top of the head must be cut over the top of a flat
comb.
• Use a closer guide comb to taper the hair down to the neckline as desired.
CARE FOR YOUR HAIRCLIPPER
Your clipper is fitted with high quality blades. To ensure long lasting performance of your
clipper, clean the blades and unit regularly. Always keep the attachment guide comb on the
trimmer blade.
AFTER EACH USE
• Ensure the clipper is switched off and disconnected from the mains before cleaning.
• Brush the accumulated hair from the blades. Do not submerge the clipper in water.
• To clean unit, wipe with damp cloth and dry immediately.
EVERY SIX MONTHS
• At regular intervals the blade set should be removed and cleaned.
• Remove the 2 screws retaining the fixed blade with a screwdriver. Do not remove blade
set.
• Brush out hairs from between the blades with soft cleaning brush. 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 coated blade
holder over the pin in the centre of the interior product head. The groove on the coated
blade, just below the teeth, rests on a metal plate at the opposite side to the screw
holes. The fixed blade is fitted with the raised profile pointing outwards and fixed with
the 2 screws.
• Note that if the blades are not correctly aligned then cutting efficiency will be impaired.
• Place a few drops of cutter or sewing machine oil onto the blades. Wipe off excess oil.
