How to Use
Before Cutting Hair
1. Make sure your hair clipper is
operating correctly.
2. The vacuum feature will not function
properly if the hair chamber is
removed.
3. The person should be seated so that
the top of his head is at your eye level.
4. Comb the hair as it is normally styled.
5. Comb out all knots and tangles.
6. Ensure the hair
is dry. Hair
clippers perform
best with dry
hair, making it
easier to see
how much hair
is being cut.
7. Hold the hair
clipper in the
palm of one hand with your thumb
resting firmly on the top of the hair
clipper. This grip provides comfortable
cutting control.
To Attach Trimming Guides
1. Select the trimming guide that
matches the length you want the
hair to be after the cut. The trimming
guides are numbered and marked
with 1/8” (3mm), 1/4” (6mm), 3/8”
(9mm), 1/2” (12mm), 3/4”(18mm), and
1”(25mm).
2. Hold the trimming guide with the teeth
up. Slide the trimming guide onto the
blades until it locks into place.
Giving A Comfortable,
Even Cut
■
Allow the clipper to cut through the
hair without moving it too quickly.
Moving the clipper too quickly may
create a pulling sensation. As the
clipper cuts the hair, the vacuum
sucks the clippings through the
inlet into the hair chamber.
■
Use short strokes when cutting, and
initially use the longest trimming
guide. You can always use a closer
trimming guide later if you want a
closer cut.
How to Give a
Haircut
1. Start at the
back of the
head. Holding
the clipper as
shown, lightly
stroke upwards
making sure
you are taking
off the desired amount of hair. Work
your way up to the crown of the
head in layers. When completed,
comb the area
to remove any
loose hair and to
determine if you
need any further
cutting.
2. Repeat the same
procedure for each side of the
head. Make sure the length of the
hair is trimmed to the same length
on both sides of the head.
T.
U.
3. To trim around
the ears,
remove the
trimming guide
and replace
with either the
left or right
ear guide. The
shorter guide
teeth are designed to be toward the
ear. Move the clipper from the front
of the head to the back. This creates
a tapered effect around the ear and
back of the neck.
4. The final trim can be made with the
hair clipper or the included scissors.
Make sure to check over the entire
head for any uneven areas. For styled
hair or giving quick trims, you may
prefer using your hair clipper without
the trimming guide.
Very Short Styles
1. Using the
1/2” (12mm)
trimming guide,
hold the comb
flat against the
head and move
the hair clipper
from the back
of the neck to the crown of the head.
2. Cut in a similar manner from the side
to the top of the head. Then cut from
the front to the crown of the head.
3. If a “Flat Top” style is desired, then
remove the trimming guide and use
the barber’s comb. Trim a little at a
time until the “flat look” is achieved.
Emptying Hair Chamber:
1. Turn off the unit.
2. Hold the underside of the unit with
one hand.
3. Locate the grips on the side of
the chamber (fig. 1). Using your
thumb and
forefinger, lift
both sides of
the chamber
at the same
time.
4. Empty the
contents
into a waste
container.
(fig. 2)
5. You may have
to vigorously shake the chamber or
scoop out some of the compacted
hair clippings.
6. Be careful not to puncture the
screens on the hair chamber while
emptying the unit.
7. Once finished emptying, place the
chamber back onto the unit and
push gently until the chamber
clicks into place.
Line Cord Safety Tips
1. To insert plug, grasp it firmly and
guide it into outlet.
2. To disconnect the appliance, grasp
the plug and remove it from outlet.
Do not pull or yank on the cord or
appliance.
Do not wrap the cord
around the appliance.
