Step 2
– back of the head
Change to one of the longer accessory combs, “9 mm” or “12 mm”, and cut the hair on the back of the
head (fig. 6).
Step 3
– sides of the head
Change to one of the shorter combs, “3 mm” or “6 mm”, and trim the sideburns, i.e. the hair directly in
front of the ears. Then change to one of the longer accessory combs and continue cutting up towards the
top of the head (fig. 7).
Step 4
– top of the head
1.
Use one of the longer accessory combs and cut the hair on the top of the head, from the back
towards the front, against the hair’s normal direction of growth (fig. 8). In some cases, this may
mean you need to cut from the front towards the back.
2.
Use the shorter accessory combs to achieve a shorter hair length.
3.
To achieve longer hair on top of the head, use the enclosed comb and lift up the hair. Cut the hair
above the comb or hold the hair between your fingers and cut to the desired length (fig. 9 and 10).
Always work from the back of the head. You can gradually cut the hair shorter by reducing the
distance between the comb/your fingers and the head. Comb out the hair to release unevenly long
hairs.

Step 5
– finish
1.
To finish, use the machine without any accessory combs to trim close to the skin around the base
and sides of the neck and around the ears.
2.
To create a straight hairline at the sideburns, turn the machine as illustrated in fig. 11.
3.
Hold the machine at right angles against the head, so that the tips of the cutting blades are just
touching the skin, and work down. In this way you achieve the same type of cut as when using a
razorblade.
