Mellerware 20800 Hair Clippers User Manual


 
always trim off additional hair later.
• As you work, brush/comb the hair frequently
back into the style to which you are cutting.
• Make sure that hair is dry for using the clipper.
BEGINNING THE HAIRCUT
Cutting hair requires practice. When cutting for
the first time, always use a longer comb and then
change combs to cut hair shorter if required/
preferred.
ATTACHMENT COMB (see main diagram)
• Attachment Comb #1 leaves 3mm hair length.
• Attachment Comb #2 leaves 6mm hair length.
• Attachment Comb #3 leaves 9mm hair length.
• Attachment Comb #4 leaves 12mm hair length.
Each comb attachment is marked accordingly on
the outside surface.
• To attach a comb, hold comb with the teeth
showing upward and slide it onto and along
the clipper blade until the front of the comb
firmly clicks into the clipper blade.
• To remove the comb, simply pull the comb
upward and away from the clipper blade.
STEP 1 - NAPE OF THE NECK
1. Attach comb attachment 3mm or 6mm.
2. Hold the clipper cutting edge pointing upwards
and begin the haircut, starting in the middle of
the base of the neck (see diagram 1).
3. Hold the clipper comfortably in your hand and
hold lightly against the head with the comb teeth
pointing upward. Gradually and slowly lift the
clipper working upwards and outwards, through
the hair, trimming just a little at a time.
4. As you cut, gradually lift the clipper head
towards you. Continue to cut the back area from
the bottom of the neck upwards to the top of
the ears.
STEP 2 - BACK OF THE HEAD
1. Change to the next longest comb attachment
9mm or 12mm and cut the hair on the back of
the head (see diagram 2).
STEP 3 - SIDE OF THE HEAD
1. Change to one of the shorter combs 3mm or
6mm, trim sideburns, i.e. the hair directly in
front of the ears. Change to one of the longer
combs, 9mm or 12mm, and continue to cut to
the top of the head (see diagram 3).
STEP 4 - TOP OF THE HEAD
1. Using the 9mm or 12mm comb attachment, cut
hair on the top of the 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.
2. Comb attachments 3mm or 6mm are used to
achieve a close crew cut or short cut.
3. For longer hair on top, lift the hair with a comb
or hold the hair between your fingers and use
the clippers to cut to the desired length (see
diagrams 5 and 6). Always work from the back
of the head. Hair can be cut shorter gradually
by reducing the space between the comb/
fingers, and the head. Comb out trimmed hair
and check for uneven strands.
