Using the appliance
Clipping with the hair clipping comb

Note: Make sure your hair is clean and dry. Do not
use the appliance on freshly washed hair.
1
Comb your hair with a styling comb in the
direction of hair growth. (Fig. 2)
2
Slide the comb attachment into the guiding
grooves of the appliance (‘click’). (Fig. 3)
Make sure that the comb attachment has been
properly slid into the grooves on both sides.
3
To set the comb attachment to the desired
hair length, press the adjustment button (1)
and slide the comb attachment to the desired
hair length setting (2). (Fig. 4)

5

Move the appliance through the hair slowly.
Tips:
- Start to clip at the highest setting of the comb
attachment and reduce the hair length setting
gradually.
- Write down the hair length settings you
selected to create a certain hairstyle as a
reminder for future clipping sessions.
- To clip in the most effective way, move
the appliance against the direction of hair
growth. (Fig. 5)
- 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 hair clipping
comb attachment 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 a comb to guide the hair
towards the appliance.
- Regularly remove cut hair from the comb
attachment. If a lot of hair has accumulated
in the comb attachment, remove it from the
appliance and blow and/or shake the hair out
of it.
Contouring without hair clipping comb
attachment
You can use the appliance without comb
attachment to cut your hair very close to the skin
(0.8mm) or to contour the neckline and the area
around the ears.
Note: When you use the appliance without comb
attachment, it cuts the hair very close to the skin.
1
To remove the comb attachment, press the
adjustment button (1) and pull the comb
attachment off the appliance (2). (Fig. 6)
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. (Fig. 7)
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. (Fig. 8)
6
Move the appliance slowly and smoothly.
Follow the natural hairline.
