–
Before changing the attachment switch
the trimmer off, and if the trimmer is
cord-operated, remove the power
adapter from the mains.
Step one
Install the corresponding attachment on the
selected blade block to leave the remaining
hair length 3 or 6 mm. Switch the trimmer on by
pressing the button (
3
). Hold the unit with the
blades pointed upwards. Start cutting from the
beginning of the hair growth. Slowly move the
trimmer upwards. This way cut the head back
area at neck bottom and near the ears.
Step two
Switch the trimmer off by pressing the but-
ton (
3
). Install the corresponding attachment
in such a manner as to leave the remaining
hair length 9 mm (
12
mm), switch the trimmer
on and continue cutting hair near the top of
the head.
Step 3 – cutting in the temples area
Switch the trimmer off, install the correspond-
ing attachment to leave 3 or 6 mm of the
remaining hair length and cut the hair on the
temples. Then install the corresponding attach-
ment in such a manner as to leave the remain-
ing hair length 9 mm (
12
mm), and continue
cutting hair towards the top of the head.
Step 4 – cutting the crown of the head
Using the previous attachment 9 mm (
12
mm)
cut the hair on the top of the head towards the
crown against the hair growth direction.
•
You can cut hair against and along the direc-
tion of hair growth, but keep in mind that the
hair cut against the growth will be shorter
than the hair cut along the growth.
•
For a very short haircut select the attach-
ment to leave 3 or 6 mm of the remaining
hair length. To leave a little longer hair use
the attachment combs (
13
) 9 mm and (
14
)
12
mm.
•
To leave longer hair, take hair locks between
your fingers and cut hair using the trimmer.
•
You can use the comb: lift the hair locks
and cut them with the trimmer above the
comb.
•
Always start cutting from the head back.
•
Comb the hair to reveal uneven locks.
•
Use scissors to trim hair.
Step 5 – the final part
In the final stage of hair cutting remove the
attachment, turn the blades of the trimmer
towards the hair and carefully trim hair on the
temples and neck. Do not press the trimmer
strongly, there is danger of injuries or cuts when
open blades come in contact with skin. You can
adjust the cutting hair length with the blade
height switch (
4
).
Cone-shaped haircut
Set the necessary attachment and start cutting
from the head back towards the crown. Cut hair
against hair growth from the head front to the
top of the head and on the sides. To get a flat
top haircut, use the comb: lift the locks and cut
them along the comb. Comb the hair to reveal
uneven locks.
Cutting beard and mustaches
Use the blade blocks (
5, 6
) and the attach-
ments (
11, 12, 13, 14, 16, 17, 18
) for beard
styling; you can also use the blade block for
short hair (the detail trimmer) (
7
).
–
Until you learn your trimmer better, set the
attachments (
13
) for 9 mm and (
14
) for
12 mm hair length with maximal remain-
ing hair length and gradually switch over to
attachments with reduced remaining hair
length.
–
To cut the beard symmetrically start cutting
from the ear to the chin on one side of the
face, and then repeat the beard cutting on
the other side of the face.
–
When cutting mustache, first comb them
and start cutting from the middle to the cor-
ners of the lips.
Note: Always cut off a little amount of hair at a
time; if necessary you can always return to the
cut area again for additional cutting.
