Cutting hair to one length all over
Starting at the back of the neck with the
blades pointing upwards, gently guide the
cutter up through the hair towards the
top of the head. Do not force the cutter
through the hair quickly, as this may pull
the hair strands and cause discomfort.
Repeat this action on the sides of the
head. To cut the hair on the top of the
head, start at the front and gently guide
the cutter through the hair to the back
of the head. Repeat until all the hair has
been cut.
Shake the cutter regularly over a waste
container during use to remove clippings that
accumulate on the top of the comb guide.
If an excessive amount of hair accumulates
during cutting, switch the cutter off, remove
the comb guide and brush hair from blades
with cleaning brush provided.
If the cutter slows during use, the blades
may need cleaning. To clean, follow the
instructions under Care and Cleaning.
Cutting hair to varying lengths
The Neck
To cut the hair at the back of the neck,
first select the comb guide for the desired
hair length. Starting in the centre, rest
the cutter against the head with the teeth
facing upwards. Guide the cutter upwards,
cutting a little at a time. As you cut, lift
the top of the cutter up towards you.
The Back
To cut the hair at the back of the head,
select the comb guide for the desired hair
length.
The Top
Select the comb guide for the desired hair
length, remembering that the #7 comb will
provide the longest hair length. Starting
at the front of the head and working back
towards the crown, gently guide the cutter
through the hair. Repeat until all hair on
top of the head is cut.
The Sides
For straight lines around the ears, remove
the comb guide from the cutter. Hold the
cutter at right angles to the head with the
top side facing down. With the blades in
contact with the skin, move the cutter
downward. Repeat until a neat line is
achieved.
The Finishing Touch
Attach the #7 comb and run the cutter
over the entire head to ensure that no
strands of hair have been missed.
Using the Taper Comb Guides
The taper guides are used to blend the hair
on the sides and back of the head when
different comb guides are used. Attach the
left taper guide to the cutter and guide the
cutter along the left side of the head along
the line where the different length comb
guides have been used. Attach the right
taper guide and do the same on the right
side of the head so that the hair on the top
of the head blends evenly with that on the
sides.
