• While the clipper is running, rapidly move the lever from
“close cut” to “longer cut” a couple of times. Doing this
each time after you have finished using your clipper will
help to keep the blades clear of cut hair. If your clipper
stops cutting and this does not help, your cutting blades
are dulled. Replace them with new blades.
• To cut the back of the neck, we suggest attachment comb #1
or #2, depending on the length you required.
• Start in the center, with the cutter against the head and with
the TEETH FACING UPWARDS. Hold the cutter against the
head and cut a little at a time (Fig. 2).
• As you cut, lift the top of the cutter towards you. Continue
cutting the back from the base of the neck to above the ears.
• To cut the back of the head, use attachment comb #3 or #4, depending on
the one used to cut the neck.
• We suggest the shortest attachment combs (#1 or #2). Cut sideboards and
the area close to the ears from the bottom up.
• Then change to longer guides and continue cutting as far as the top of the
head.
WITH THE CUTTER
• Attachment combs #3 or #4 are recommended.
• Start cutting from the FRONT of the head and advance
TOWARD THE BACK (Fig. 3).
• Remember that it is better to leave the hair a little longer
in the first cuts, until you are used to the cutting length of each guide.
WITH SCISSORS
• For longer hair, use the comb alongside the scissors.
With the comb, lift the tuft of hair to be cut, place it
between your fingers and cut above your fingers.
• Always cut from front to back, gradually leaving the hair
shorter (Fig. 4). Comb frequently to check for possible
mismatched lengths and to remove cut hair.

Recommendations
Before Beginning
To begin
Blade lever
• Hair should be DRY when using this cutter; this enables you to control
better the length cut.
• Make SHORT STROKES. Do not finish a whole side in a single stroke.
• Remember to comb the hair frequently as it is cut.
• For an EVEN cut, allow the cutter to MOVE GENTLY FORWARD through
the hair. Do not try to force it.
• It is better to cut too little than too much. Always start with the attachment
comb #4.
• Ensure that your hair cutter is clean and there is no hair in the blades.
• Sit the person whose hair is to be cut with their head at your eye level.
• Untangle the hair and comb it in its natural direction.
• The first time you use the cutter, remove a small amount of hair until you
are used to the cutting length of each guide: we suggest starting with
attachment comb #4 (for long hair) and, if you require a shorter cut, switch
to attachment comb #3 or #2.
• Fit the attachment comb with the teeth upward
and secured in the bottom of the blade (Fig.1).
• Set the on-off switch to the ON position.
• The lever is conveniently located near your thumb (if you're right-handed)
so it can easily be adjusted while the clipper is in your hand.
• The lever adds versatility to your clipper by allowing you to gradually
change the closeness of your cut without an attachment comb.
• When the lever is in the uppermost position, the blades will give you the
closest cut and leave the hair very short. Pushing the lever downward
gradually increase the cutting length.
• In its lowest position, the lever will leave the hair approximately the same
length as a comb #1.
• The lever will also extend the use of your blades since the different cutting
edge is used in each setting.
• In addition, if extremely heavy hair cutting has jammed the blades, it will
help you remove hair that has become wedged between the two blades
without removing the blades.
