INSTRUCTIONS FOR HAIR CUTTING
NOTE: For even cutting, allow the guide 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 guide 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
a. Use 3mm or 6mm guide comb.
b. Hold the hair clipper with the blade teeth pointing upwards. Begin starting at
the centre of the head at the base of the neck.
c. Slowly lift the hair clipper, working upwards and outwards through the hair,
trimming just a little at a time.
STEP 2 - BACK AND SIDE OF THE HEAD
With the 9mm or 12mm guide comb, cut the hair at the back of the head.
STEP 3 - SIDE OF THE HEAD
a. With the 9mm or 12mm guide comb, trim sideburns.
b. Then change to the longer 22mm guide comb and continue to cut to the top of
the head.
STEP 4 - TOP OF THE HEAD
a. Using the 25mm guide comb, cut the hair on top of the head against the
direction in which the hair normally grows.
b. For longer hair on top, use scissors. Lift the hair on top of the head with your
fingers. Cut the hair between your fingers to the desired length.
c. Always work from the back of the head.
STEP 5 - THE FINISHING TOUCHES
a. Use the hair clipper without an attachment comb for close trimming around the
base and sides of the neck.
b. To produce a clean straight line at the sideburns, reverse the clipper. Place the
reversed hair clipper at right angles to the head, tips of the blades lightly
touching the skin and then work downwards.
