Instructions for Hair Cutting
Note: For even cutting, allow the trimmer comb/blade to cut its way through
the hair. Do not force it through quickly. If you are cutting for the first time,
start with the maximum length trimmer comb, until you know how short
you would like your hair to be.
Note: The comb guide lengths described for use in the steps below are an
example only. If you want a longer or shorter hair cut you will need to adjust
the comb guide lengths to suit your requirements.
Step 1 – Nape of the Neck
1.
Use 3mm or 6mm guide comb.
2.
Hold the clipper with the blade teeth pointing upwards. Begin starting
at the centre of the head at the base of the neck.
3.
Slowly lift the clipper, working upwards and outwards through the hair,
trimming just a little at a time.
Step 2 – Back of the Head
With the 12mm comb attached, cut the hair at the back of the head.
Step 3 – Side of the Head
With the 3mm or 6mm guide comb attached, trim sideburns. Then change
to the longer 9mm or 12mm guide comb and continue to cut up to the top
of the head.
