CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
AFTER EACH USE:
Brush the accumulated hair from the cutters.
DO NOT SUBMERGE THE HAIR CLIPPER IN WATER.
• Hold the clipper so that you are looking at its back (rubber housing), locate the
blade release tab indentation at the base of the blade and push it inwards (towards
the cutting blades) with your thumb. The blades will pop out allowing them to be
easily cleaned under the tap with running warm water. When rinsing the blades it
is necessary to lubricate them once dry with 1-3 drops spread over the blades with
your finger with a light grade oil such as the one supplied. Wipe off excess oil.
• Once the blades are cleaned, lock them back into place by aligning them with the
clipper cavity and pushing the blade set towards the clipper body. You will hear a
“click” when blades are locked into place.
NOTE:
Ensure that the hair clipper is turned off and unplugged from the power outlet
when cleaning.
CLEANING CAUTIONS:
Do not use liquid cleaners on the cutters or harsh or corrosive
chemicals on the cutter casing.
STORAGE:
Always store this appliance and cord in a moisture-free area. Do not wrap
the cord around the appliance. Do not store in temperatures above 60ºC.
GETTING STARTED
• Make sure your clipper is operating correctly. Inspect the hair clipper making sure
that it is free from hair and dirt.
• Place a cape around the neck of the person whose hair is being trimmed or cut.
• Seat the person so that their head is approximately at your eye level.
• Before cutting, always comb the hair so it is tangle free and dry.
• Hold the hair clipper in the palm of one hand and with your thumb resting firmly on
the top of the hair clipper. This grip provides comfortable cutting control.
ATTACHING / REMOVING AND REPLACING THE BLADES
• To remove, press the release button located on the blade and pull upwards and
away from the hair clipper.
• To attach, snap the desired blade in place until it clicks.
