PART NAME
BLADE ALIGNMENT
• Thank you for having purchased our Stylish Hair Clipper
SY-HC15. Please read the manual carefully for a proper
use and store it in a safe place for future reference.
• Your hair clipper was carefully examined to ensure that
the blades were oiled and aligned before leaving our
factory.
• Blades must be realigned if they have been removed for
cleaning or replacement.
• To re-align the blades, simply match the upper teeth and
the bottom teeth of the blades so that they fall in place
and fix point to point.
(End of top blade teeth
should be approximately
1.2mm back from bottom
blade. Compare your
clipper blades with the sketch.)
If blade alignment is incorrect, add a few drops
of oil to the blades, turn on the clipper for a few
seconds and then turn it off. Loose the screws
slightly and adjust the blade. Tighten the
screws after the blade has been aligned.
OIL
To maintain your SY-HC15 in peak
condition, the blades should be oiled
every few haircuts.
Do not use hair oil, grease, oil mixed
with kerosene or any solvent.
These solvent will evaporate and
leave a thick layer of oil which may
slow down the blades motion.
BLADE LEVER
• The lever is conveniently located near your thumb (if you
are right-handed) it can easily be adjusted while the hair
clipper is in your hand.
The lever adds versatility to your clipper by allowing
you to gradually change the closeness of your cut
without an attachment comb.
When the lever is in the uppermost position, the
blades will give you the closest cut and leave the
hair very short. Pushing the lever downward
gradually increases the cutting length.
In its lowest position, the lever will leave the hair
approximately the same length as a #1 comb.
The lever will also extend the use
of your blades since a different
cutting edge is used in each
setting.
In addition, if extremely heavy
hair cutting has jammed the
blades it will help you remove
the hair that has been jammed
between the two blades without
removing the blades.
• While the hair clipper is on, quicly move the lever
from "close cut' to "longer cut a couple of times.
Doing this each time after you have finished using
your hair clipper will help to keep the blades clean and
clear. If your hair clipper stops cutting and the above
operation does not help, your cutting blades are worn out
and therefore you will need to replace them for new
blades.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR HAIR CUTTING
Before starting to use the SY-HC15:
1. Inspect the hair clipper, making sure that it is free of oil
between the cutting blade teeth and turn the unit on to
distribute the oil and to make sure it is running smoothly.
Wipe off any excess oil. This should be done after each
use .While using the unit, untwist the cord from time to time
to avoid tangling.
2. Seat the person so their head is approximately at your
eye level. This allows better visibility while cutting and a
relaxed control of the unit.
3. Before cutting, always comb the hair so it is tangle
free and as it is naturally worn.
4. Place a towel around the neck and shoulders of the person
while trimming the hair.
5. In the case the SY-HC15 stops working, contact Sytech
technical service department for a proper repair or exchange
of the product. Do not attempt to open the unit and repair it
on your own.
REMINDERS
• Cut the hair in a relaxed and slow manner. Use short strokes
only to work gradually over the entire head.
• Always take off a little hair at a time, you can always trim off
additional hair later.
• As you work, comb the hair frequently back into the style to
which you are cutting.
• When cutting with the hair clipper it is better to keep the hair
dry and not wet. With the hair dry, it is much easier to control
the amount of hair being cut.
BEGINNING THE HAIRCUT
Cutting hair requires practice so it is always better to leave the
hair longer for the first few haircuts until you become used to the
length to which each comb attachment cuts the hair.
ATTACHMENT COMB
(see main diagram)
• Attachment Comb #1 leaves 3mm (1/8 inch) hair length.
• Attachment Comb #3 leaves 6mm (1/4 inch) hair length.
• Attachment Comb #3 leaves 9mm (3/8 inch) hair length.
• Attachment Comb #4 leaves 12mm (1/2 inch) hair length.
Each comb attachment is marked accordingly on its outside
middle surface.
• To attach a comb, hold it with its teeth upward and slide it in
to and along the clipper blade until the front of the comb
firmly seats against the clipper blade.
• To remove the comb, simply pull the comb upward and
away from the clipper blade.
• For even cutting, allow the comb attachment/cutter to cut its
way through the hair. Do not force it through quickly. Also
remember to comb the hair frequently to remove trimmed
hair and to check for uneven strands.
STEP 1 - NAPE OF THE NECK
Attach the comb attachment of 3mm or 6mm.
Hold the clipper cutting edge pointed up and begin
the haircut, starting at the centre of the head at the
base of the neck(see diagram 1).
Hold the clipper comfortably in your hand,
lightly against the head with the comb teeth pointing
upward. Gradually and slowly lift the clipper,
working upwards and outwards, through the hair,
trimming just a little at a time.
As you cut, gradually lift the hair clipper head
towards you. Continue to cut the back area from
the bottom of the neck upwards to the top of the
ears
Diagram 1
STEP 2-BACK OF THE HEAD
Change the comb attachment to the next longest comb
attachment 9mm or 12mm and cut the back of the head (see
diagram 2).
STEP 3-SIDE OF THE HEAD
Change the comb attachment to the shorter combs 3mm or
6mm. Trim the side burns, i.e. the hair directly in front of the
ears. Later change to one of the longer combs, 9mm or
12mm and continue to cut to the top of the head(see
diagram 3).
Diagram 3
STEP 4-TOP OF THE HEAD
1. Using comb attachment 9mm or 12mm, cut the top of
head from back to front against the direction in which the
hair normally grows(see diagram 4).In some cases, this
may require the reverse, or cutting from front to back.
2. Comb attachments 3mm or 6mm are used to
achieve a close crew cut or short cut.
3. For longer hair on top, use the comb provided and lift the
hair on the top of the head. Cut over the comb, with the
hair lifted or hold the hair between the fingers to lift it and
cut it to your desired length (see diagrams 5 and 6).
Always work from the back of the head. Your hair can be
cur shorter gradually by reducing the space between the
comb/fingers. Comb your hair and check for uneven
strands.
