OPERATION
PREPARATION BEFORE THE HAIRCUT
Attention:
Do not use the hair clipper if you have open wounds, cuts or
blisters on your skin.
■
Before starting any styling of hair or beards, acquaint yourself with the operating
instructions.
■
You can use the hair clipper to clip your own or other people's hair. When clipping
somebody else's hair, seat them so that their head is at the level of your chest. This
will provide for a comfortable cutting position. Before cutting hair, thoroughly comb
out the hair in the growth direction.
■
Cover your neck and shoulders or that of the person whose hair you will be cutting
with a towel to limit cut hair from falling on clothes.
■
Prior to every use, check that the cutting unit is clean.
■
Prior to every use, check the cutting unit and the selected comb attachment for
damage. Never use a hair clipper with a damaged cutting unit or comb attachment.
CUTTING WITHOUT THE COMB ATTACHMENT
■
You may use the hair clipper without a comb attachment, for example, to trim
beards very close to the skin or to trim the neckline or the area around the ears.
Attention:
The blades of the cutting unit will cut off all hair, beards or
nose and ear hair that comes into contact with them, therefore
be especially careful when handling the hair clipper while it is
running.
■
Set the cutting height using the lever
A2
:
- If you want the cutting height to be as short as possible, move the lever upwards
all the way. Hair will be cut directly above the scalp. This setting is suitable for
trimming hair on the neck and around the ears. The length of the cut is extended
by gradually pushing the lever downwards.
- For the greatest cutting height, slide the lever downwards all the way. In this
position, the cutting height is set to approximately 3 mm.
■
Connect the power cord plug to a power socket. Turn the hair clipper on and off
using switch
A3
.
■
When you have finished using the hair clipper, always clean it according to the
instructions in chapter Cleaning and maintenance.
CUTTING THE COMB ATTACHMENT
■
The hair clipper is supplied with 4 comb attachments
B1
–
B4
for cutting lengths of
3, 6, 9 and 12 mm.
- the 3 or 6 mm attachment is suitable for clipping the nape of the neck and the
side parts of the head
- the 9 or 12 mm attachment is suitable for clipping the back and top parts of the
head
■
Attach the comb part of the selected attachment from above on to the blade of the
cutting unit and push the heel of the attachment towards the bottom part of the
cutting unit. An audible click is made when it is pushed down. Always ensure that
the attachment is properly attached.
Attention:
Put a comb attachment on to the cutting unit before turning
on the hair clipper and always turn the hair clipper off before
removing it.
■
When using the hair clipper for the first time, it is recommended to first try the
largest adapter and only thereafter use the smaller attachment.
■
Connect the power cord plug to a power socket. Turn the hair clipper on and off
using switch
A3
.
■
When you have finished using the hair clipper, always clean it according to the
instructions in chapter Cleaning and maintenance.
ADVICE AND TIPS
■
Clip hair slowly and in a relaxed manner. Use only short movements and clip
gradually across the whole head.
■
Always only clip off small amounts of hair at once. You can clip off the next piece
of hair later.
■
While clipping, comb the hair back to the hairstyle that you are cutting.
■
When using a comb attachment, start cutting with the largest cutting height and
then gradually reduce the set hair cutting height.
■
Record the used height setting for certain hairstyles so that you do not need to
spend time adjusting it the next time.
■
It is most effective to cut counter to the direction of hair growth.
■
Because hair grows in various directions, it is also necessary to move the hair clipper
in various directions (upwards, downwards or crosswise).
■
Repeat individual passes so that you cut also the hair that you did not cut in the
previous passes.
■
Ensure that the flat part of the comb attachment is in full contact with the scalp. This
will ensure an even haircut result.
■
To achieve good results on curly, sparse or long hair, you can try using a comb to
lead the hair towards the hair clipper.
■
Trim beards by slowly moving counter to the growth direction of the beard, going
from the bottom upwards. When trimming beards using a comb attachment, keep
in mind that the comb attachment must be in constant contact with the skin in
order to ensure an even cut. After reattaching an attachment on to the cutting unit,
do not forget to set the cutting height again.
Note
:
When cutting, some hair may accumulate between the blade of the
cutting unit and the comb attachment. To remove the hair accumulated
between the blade of the cutting unit, press the lever up and down
several times.
To remove hair accumulated in the comb attachment, first turn off the hair
clipper, remove the attachment and clean it.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
■
Before you start cleaning the hair clipper, turn it off and disconnect it from the
power source. Never clean the hair clipper when it is connected to a power socket.
■
Regular cleaning after every use will ensure that the hair clipper remains in good
working order.
Attention:
Except for the comb attachments
B1-B4

other part of this hair clipper is intended for cleaning under
a water tap. Do not spray the hair clipper or its power cord with
water or any other liquid or submerge it in water or any other
liquid.
CLEANING THE CUTTING UNIT
■

■

when handling them.
