Using the appliance
Clipping with comb
Note: Make sure the hair is clean and dry. Do not use the
appliance on freshly washed hair.
Note: Make sure the head of the person whose hair you
are cutting is at the same level as your chest. This ensures
that all parts of the head are clearly visible and within easy
reach.
1
Comb the hair with the styling comb in the
direction of hair growth.
2
Choose whether you want to use the large or small
comb, depending on the desired hair length.
Use the small comb for a hair length of 3-21mm and use
the large comb for a hair length of 24-42mm.
3
Slide the comb into the guiding grooves of the
appliance (‘click’) (Fig. 4).
Make sure that the arms of the comb have been slid
properly into the grooves on both sides.
4
Press the setting selector (1) and slide the comb
to the desired hair length setting (2). Then release
the setting selector to lock the hair length
setting (Fig. 5).
hair length settings
The settings are shown on the arms of the comb.
The settings correspond to the remaining hair length
after cutting (Fig. 6).
The small comb cuts the hair to a length of 3mm,
6mm, 9mm, 12mm, 15mm, 18mm or 21mm.
The large comb cuts the hair to a length of 24mm,
27mm, 30mm, 33mm, 36mm, 39mm or 42mm.
5
Switch on the appliance (Fig. 7).
6
Move the appliance through the hair slowly.
Note: Make sure that the flat part of the comb is fully in
contact with the scalp to obtain an even cutting result.
Tips:
Start clipping at the highest hair length setting of the
comb and reduce the hair length setting gradually.
Write down the hair length settings you use to
create a certain hairstyle as a reminder for future
clipping sessions.
To clip most effectively, move the appliance against
the hair growth direction.
Try different directions (upward, downward or
across), because hair doesn’t all grow in the same
direction.

Make overlapping passes over the head to ensure
that the appliance catches all the hairs that need to
be cut.
Make sure that the flat part of the comb is fully in
contact with the scalp to obtain an even cutting
result.
To achieve a good result with curly, sparse or long
hair, you can use the styling comb to guide the hair
towards the appliance.
Regularly remove cut hair from the comb. If a lot of
hair has accumulated in the comb, remove it from the
appliance and blow and/or shake the hair out of it.
Clipping without comb
You can use the clipper without comb to contour the
neckline and the area around the ears.
The comb keeps the cutting unit at a certain distance
from the head. This means that, if you use the clipper
without the comb, the hair is cut off very close to the skin.
1
Press and hold the setting selector (1) with one
hand and pull the comb off the appliance (2) with
your other hand (Fig. 8).
Never pull at the flexible top of the comb. Always pull at
the bottom part.
2
Before you start to contour the hairline round the
ears, comb the hair ends over the ears.
3
Tilt the appliance in such a way that only one edge
of the cutting element touches the hair ends.
4
Only cut the hair ends. The hairline has to be close
to the ear.
5
To contour the neckline and sideburns, turn the
appliance and make downward strokes.
6
Move the appliance slowly and smoothly. Follow the
natural hairline.
graduation
The Philips hair clipper not only allows you to cut the hair
evenly at the same length all over the head, it also enables
you to achieve a smooth transition from longer hair on
top of the head to shorter hair on the back and sides of
the head.
1
Slide the large comb into the guiding grooves of the
appliance (‘click’) (Fig. 4).
2
Start clipping at the setting for maximum hair
length (42mm).
3
Then choose a shorter setting and cut the hair on
all parts of the head, except for the top, where you
want the hair to be longer.
4
Repeat this procedure until all hairs have the
desired length.
Cutting over styling comb or fingers
This technique can be used to obtain hair lengths over
42mm. Bear in mind that this technique is difficult to
master and should only be applied by experienced users.
1
Press and hold the setting selector (1) with one
hand and pull the comb off the appliance (2) with
your other hand (Fig. 8).
Never pull at the flexible top of the comb. Always pull at
the bottom part.
2
Comb a small section of hair upwards.
3
Lift the hair with the styling comb and hold it
between your fingers until only the length that
needs to be cut sticks out.
4
Cut the hair protruding from the comb or fingers.
5
Continue this procedure and comb frequently to
remove cut hair and to check for unevenly cut
sections.
Cleaning
Clean the appliance every time you have used it.
Never use scouring pads, abrasive cleaning agents or
aggressive liquids such as alcohol, petrol or acetone to
clean the appliance.
Only clean the appliance with the cleaning brush
supplied.
Note: The appliance does not need to be lubricated.
1
Make sure the appliance is switched off and
disconnected from the mains.
