BLADE LEVEL
• The level is conveniently located near your thumb (if you are right-handed) so it can easily be
adjusted while the clipper is in your hand.
• The level adds versatility to your clipper by allowing you gradually change the closeness of your
cut without an attachment comb.
• When the level is in the uppermost position, the blades will give you the closest cut and leave the
hair very short. Pushing the level downward gradually increases the cutting length.
• In its lowest position, the level will leave the hair approximately the same length as a 1 comb.
• The level 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 hair that has become wedged between
the two blades without removing the blades.
• While the clipper is running rapidly move the level from “close cut” to “longer cut” a couple of times. Doing this each time after you
have inished using your clipper will help to keep the blades clear of cut hair.
• If your clipper stops cutting and this does not help, your cutting blades are dulled. Replace them with new blades.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR HAIR CUTTING
• Before starting the hair cut inspect the clipper, making sure that it is free of oil between the cutting blade teeth and
switch 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.
• Seat the person so their head is approximately at your eye level. This allows ease of visibility while cutting and a relaxed
control of the unit.
• Before cutting always irst comb the hair so it is tangle free and as it is naturally worn.
• Place a towel around the neck and shoulders of the person having the haircut.
THINNING FUNCTION
• First, slide the Thinning plate up. While applying the blade point at right angles to the hair, run the trimmer slowly across the head
as if combing the hair.
• After thinning, slide the thinning plate back. For thinning, conirm that the thinning plate is set to the right position. Incorrect
setting may result in excessive cutting. If a difference in level is produced, lightly thin to compensate. If thick and thin portions are
produced, or if there are portions with an excessive amount of hair, thin the appropri-ate portions to compensate. Point: Thin the
hair gradually while checking the overall balance.
