SHORT TAPERED STYLES – “FLAT TOPS” & SHORT CUTS
• Starting with the longest fixed comb (25mm), 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
AFTER EACH USE
• Ensure the appliance is switched off and unplugged from the mains before cleaning.
• Brush the accumulated hair from the blades. The blades and product unit can be rinsed
under the tap. Please see cleaning section below on this.
• It is recommended that the blades should be removed, and any accumulated hair be
brushed out after each use. 1 or 2 drops of clipper oil should be added to tip of blades,
and a drop on the back gliding surfaces.
REMOVING AND REATTAHCING THE BLADE SET
• The blades can be released by placing your finger or thumb into the push release point
and sliding the blade off the product unit.
• To reattach place the blade set on top of the product unit and slide this gently into place
until you hear and feel it click into place.
CLEANING CAUTIONS
• This clipper is fully washable. The clipper and blade set can be rinsed under the tap for
cleaning. Only rinse the blades when needed.
• For a deep clean, let the blades run while rinsing under the tap.
• Please ensure the product is fully dried after, especially the blade set surfaces.
• Caution: do not wash when plugged into the mains power.
• Once the blade set is fully dried, to enhance performance and prolong the life of your
clipper, we strongly recommend for you to oil the blades. To be properly oiled, the
blade set needs to be removed, so drops of oil can be added to the back gliding surface.
EVERY SIX MONTHS
• At regular intervals the blade set should be removed and cleaned.
• Remove the 2 screws retaining the fixed blade with a hex screwdriver. Do not remove
blade set.
• Brush out hairs from between the blades with soft cleaning brush. Do not remove the
lubricating grease on the plastic components. It is not necessary to remove the small
moving blade from the unit.
