INSTRUCTIONS FOR CUTTING HAIR
,
Vacuum Feature
•
To maximise the amount of hair clippings collected in the vacuum, please
do not move the clipper too quickly when clipping from the sides to the
crown of the head.
•
This vacuum chamber is capable of collecting 2.25g of hair, this equates to
6mm of hair growth.
•
A typical 1 month’s growth of (12mm) haircut would require the bin being
emptied 2-3 times in total when cutting the hair.
•
Ensure you monitor the bin whilst cutting your hair to maximise the
efficiency of the vacuum performance. Empty the bin before it gets full to
ensure hair clippings continue to be effectively collected in the vacuum
chamber.
•
When cutting hair, always keep the unit on when holding the clipper upside
down.
•
For optimum performance do not trim hair 18mm or longer with one pass of
the clipper.
•
When cutting hair 18mm or longer use a finger on your free hand in between
the comb and clipper to guide hair into the blade by applying slight pressure.
As you move the clipper up to cut, your finger will help keep the longer hairs
from slipping away before they can be cut. If the hair extends well past the
hair collection chamber opening, place your finger on top of the chamber
near the opening.
•
For even cutting, allow the comb attachment/blade to cut its way through
the hair. Do not force it through quickly. If you are cutting for the first time,
start with the maximum comb attachment.
,
STEP 1 – Nape of the neck
•
Set the comb to 3mm or 6mm.
•
Hold the clipper with the blade teeth pointing upwards. Begin starting at the
centre of the head at the base of the neck.
•
Slowly lift the clipper, working upwards and outwards through the hair,
trimming just a little at a time.
,
STEP 2 – Back of the head
•
With the comb set at 12mm or 18mm, cut the hair at the back of the head.
,
STEP 3 – Side of the head
•
With the comb set at 3mm or 6mm, trim sideburns. Then change to the
longer 9mm guide comb and continue to cut up to the top of the head.
