1. To attach a guide comb, affix it firmly to the holders
at the side of the trimmers.
2. For an even cut, let the trimmer do the work – don’t
force them through the hair. Remember to comb
the hair at regular intervals to remove loose hair,
and to see if there are any uneven sections.
HOW TO CUT HAIR:
Step 1 – lower neck:
1. Attach 3 mm or 6 mm guide comb
2. Hold the trimmer with the blade/cutter turned
upwards, and start at the middle of the head at the
nape of the neck.
3. Hold the trimmer so that it feels comfortable in
your hand, and keep it steady against the head,
with the teeth pointing upwards. Lift the trimmer at
small intervals, so that it works its way upwards
and outwards, through the hair, cutting a little at a
time.
4. As you cut, lift the head of the trimmer back
towards yourself at small intervals. Continue
cutting the hair on the neck, from the base of the
hairline to the top of the ears.
Step 2 – the back of the head
1. Change to one of the longer guide combs and trim
the rest of the neck area.
Step 3 – the sides of the head:
1. Change to one of the shorter guide combs and trim
the sideburns (the hair just in front of the ears).
After this, switch to a longer guide comb, and
continue to cut to the top of the head.
Step 4 – the top of the head:
1. Use the longest guide comb and trim the topmost
hair, starting from the back and working your way
forward, in the opposite direction to the actual hair
growth. Sometimes it is necessary to cut the hair
the opposite way.
For a longer cut, use the comb that accompanies the
trimmer to lift the hair on the top of the head. Then let
the trimmer pass over the comb to cut the hair to the
desired length. You can also use your fingers for this.
Always work from the back forwards. You can cut the
hair shorter by altering the distance from the scalp to
the comb/your fingers. Comb any loose hair out, and
check to see if there are any uneven sections.
Step 5
Finally, use the trimmer without attaching a guide
comb for a closer cut around the base and sides of the
neck and ears.
To achieve an even cut around the sideburns, turn the
trimmer over. Press the trimmer gently and steadily
against the skin and run it downwards to achieve a
result similar to that of a razor.
