INSTRUCTIONS
CARE OF YOUR CLIPPERS
IF YOU DETERMINE THAT BLADE
ALIGNMENT IS INCORRECT:
Conair
®
hair clippers are carefully inspected to
ensure that the blades are in perfect align-
ment. Of course you will need to realign the
blades after removal for cleaning or replace-
ment, or if they should be knocked out of
alignment. How can you tell if blades need
realigning? Simply match them up, point for
point, to conform with FIG. 1 below:
To prevent the clipper from contacting the
skin or cutting too closely, make certain that
the end top blade teeth are 1/32" to 1/16"
back from bottom blade.
To Align Blades:
1. Add two or three drops of Conair
Lubricating Oil (included).
2. Turn clipper on for a minute to disperse oil
evenly over blades, then turn off.
3. Unplug clipper and slightly loosen screws.
(See FIG. 2)
4. Position the extreme left-hand tooth of the
top blade so that it either covers or
appears on the left of the first small tooth on
the bottom blade.
5. Make sure that the big tooth on the bottom
blade touches the extreme right-hand tooth of
the top blade.

ADJUSTABLE TAPER LEVER
Just like professional clippers, the Conair
taper lever is positioned at your thumb. You
can hold the clipper in your hand and adjust
the lever at the same time... while you’re
clipping.
This taper lever eliminates the need in some
situations for a comb attachment because
it lets you gradually adjust the closeness of
the cut. For the closest cut and the shortest
hair, push taper lever up as far as it will go
to, level #1. To increase cutting length, slowly
push lever down. If you push to the lowest
position, level #5, it will leave hair about the
same length as the short comb attachment.
Because a different cutting edge is used in
each setting, the taper lever lengthens the
life of your blades.
Packed-in hair can slow down any clipper.
To remove hair without removing the blades,
do what the professionals do: keeping the
clipper on, quickly push the taper lever back
and forth from “close” to “longer” cut a few
times.
Close Cut
Longer Cut
STOP. COMB. CHECK.
For best results, do as the professionals do:
comb hair often, and check clipping results as
you comb. This way you avoid uneven sides,
bangs, neckline, etc.
SHORT CUTS TO PERFECT
FLAT TOPS, CREW CUTS, ETC.
Always cut from the back of the neck to the
crown, using the longest comb setting.
Hold the comb attachment flat against the
head and slowly move the clipper up through
the hair. Use the same technique for the
sides, cutting from the bottom to the upper
side of the head.
For the front to the crown, cut the hair against
the direction in which it grows. Then even it
up with the sides.
For a flat top, use the flat comb, not the comb
attachment. Just cut hair on top of the head
over flat comb. (see below).
If you do this after every clipping, especially
with heavy hair cutting, the blades should
remain free of cut hair.
If clipper stops cutting and this action doesn’t
help, check the blades. If they’ve become dull,
replace them. For new blades, send check or
money order for $6.50, which includes postage
and handling (if $10 minimum is met) to:

Remember, it’s better to leave too much hair
than too little. For longer hair on top, use the
barber comb and lift hair on the top of the
head, cutting over the comb. Or hold the hair
between the fingers and cut to desired length.
Always working from the front to the back
of the head, gradually cut the hair shorter
by reducing the space between the comb or
fingers and the head. Comb often to check for
uneven strands, and to get rid of trimmed hair.
OUTLINING
Outlining requires no attachments. Comb
hair into the desired style. Position the clip-
per between the sideburns and the ear (see
above), making sure the corner edge of the
blade is against the hairline. With the outline
of the hair as your guide, slowly move the
clipper over, around and behind the ears.
For the back of the neck and the sideburns,
hold the clipper upside down (see above)
and, holding it against the skin at the length
desired, move the clipper downward.
