STEP 2 – BACK OF THE HEAD
•
Change to the next longest comb attachment 7 mm or 9 mm and cut the back of
the head (see diagram 2).
STEP 3 – SIDE OF THE HEAD
•
Change to one of the shorter combs 3 mm or 5 mm, trim
sideburns, the hair directly in front of the ears. Then change to
one of the longer combs, 7 mm or 9 mm, and continue to cut to
the top of the head (see diagram 3).
STEP 4 – TOP OF THE HEAD
•
Using comb attachment 7 mm or 9 mm, cut top head from back
to front against the direction in which the hair normally grows
(see diagram 4).
In some cases, this may require the reverse, or cutting from front
to back.
•
Comb attachments 3 mm or 5 mm are used for a close crew
cut or short cut.
•
For longer hair on top, use the comb provided and lift hair on
the top of the head. Cut over the comb, with the hair lifted or
hold the hair between the fingers to desired length (see diagram
5 and 6). Always work from the back of the head. You can cut the
hair shorter gradually by reducing the space between the comb/
fingers, and the head. Comb out trimmed hair and check for
uneven strands.
STEP 5- THE FINISHING TOUCH
•
Finally, use the taper lever without an attachment comb for close trimming
around the base of the neck and the ears.
•
To produce a clean straight line on your sideburns, reverse the hair clipper so it
is pointing downwards. (see diagram 7).
• Press the clipper at a 90˚ angle to the head, with the tips of the blade lightly
touching the skin and work downwards. This way you will obtain a clean cut.
