• Never use the appliance if it is not working correctly, or if it has fallen (invisible damage to the
appliance could put your safety at risk).
• When you are using the clipper, keep it well away from eyelashes, clothes and any other object, to
avoid any risk of injury or blockage.
• If the clipper is used by several people, the cutting head should be cleaned appropriately.
• Close supervision is necessary when the appliance is used on or in the presence of children or disabled
people.
• Never leave the clipper within the reach of children.
• Be careful when you are using the clipper for the first time. Take your time. Use slow, controlled gestures.
• Do not use the clipper on animals.
• Do not use the appliance:
- on injured skin.
- if you have dermatological problems: eczema, varicose veins, skin inflammations, moles, acne, warts,
birth marks, etc.
• Special tools are required to dismantle this appliance. Any maintenance work must be carried out by the

• For any malfunctions, see "Troubleshooting", or contact our Customer Helpdesk or your dealer.
4. 7-SETTING ADJUSTABLE COMB ATTACHMENT
• Your clipper is fitted with a comb attachment that allows you to choose the cutting length.
• To select one of the settings: push the comb to align it with the desired setting (Fig. 6).
• The cutting length (in mm) is shown on the sides of the clipper (Fig. 7) (3,6,9,12,15,18 or 21 mm).
These values are purely indicative; the actual cutting length may vary according to the angle at which
the clipper is held.
5. USING THE CLIPPER WITHOUT THE COMB ATTACHMENT
• For shaved-head cuts or outlining, you can remove the comb attachment by sliding it off as shown in
fig. 8.
6. CLEANING
• The clipper requires very little cleaning. You can clean it with a slightly damp cloth. To clean the adjus-
table comb attachment, remove it as shown in fig. 8 and use the cleaning brush to remove any hair
(Fig. 9).
• After each use, the cutting blades should be cleaned with the cleaning brush (Fig. 10).
7. LUBRICATION
• To maintain the performance of your clipper, it is essential to oil the cutting blades before each use
with the lubricating oil provided, or failing this, with a sewing-machine oil.
• Before lubricating the appliance, unplug it and use the cleaning brush to remove any hair caught in
the cutting blades (Fig. 10).
• Lubricate the blades at the positions indicated (Fig. 11): a single drop at each position is sufficient.
• Operate the clipper for a few seconds.
• Wipe off any excess oil with a cloth.
8. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
At the end of your product's useful life, please take it to a waste-collection centre for
recycling.
9. TROUBLESHOOTING
• The clipper doesn't cut any more: Have you lubricated the blades? (see paragraph 7)
• The clipper won't start (in cordless operation) or no longer has sufficient autonomy:
Have you recharged it?
