Using the appliance

on the desired hair length. The remaining hair
length after cutting is indicated in mm on the comb
attachments. The selected hair length setting (1-5) is
shown in the two length setting indication windows
on both sides of the length selector (Fig. 4).

Using the swivel head
From its starting position of 0° (pointing forwards),
you can turn the swivel head 45° or 90° to the left
or right. In this way, you can adjust the position of
the cutting element to the part of your head you
are clipping. This makes it much easier to clip your
own hair. (Fig. 7)

turning the swivel head (‘click’). (Fig. 8)
Always adjust the position of the cutting element with
the swivel head. Do not turn the cutting element or the
comb attachment.
Do not turn the swivel head more than 90° to the left
or right.
The swivel head allows you to hold and use the
appliance like a brush. (Fig. 9)
Tips
We advise you to start clipping at the highest setting
of the large comb attachment and to reduce the hair
length setting gradually.
If a lot of hair has accumulated in the comb
attachment, remove it from the clipper and blow
and/or shake the hair out of it. When you remove

the comb attachment, the hair length setting does
not change.
Write down the hair length settings you use to
create a certain hairstyle as a reminder for future
clipping sessions.
1 Move the clipper through the hair slowly.
The hair on different parts of your head grows in
different directions. You may want to try different
clipping directions (upwards, downwards and
across) (Fig. 10).
To clip in the most effective way, move the
appliance against the direction of hair growth.
2 Turn the swivel head to the position that is most
comfortable for your arm when clipping the
different parts of your head.
3 Make sure that the at part of the comb
attachment is fully in contact with the scalp to
obtain an even cutting result.
Clipping without comb attachment
You can use the clipper without comb attachment to clip
your hair very close to the skin (0.8mm) or to contour
the neckline and the area around the ears.
Note: When you use the hair clipper without a comb
attachment, the clipper cuts the hair very close to the skin.
1 Remove the comb attachment by pulling it off the
swivel head (Fig. 11).
Never pull at the exible top of the comb attachment.
Always pull at the bottom part.
2 When you contour the hair around the ears, only
cut the hair ends. The hairline should be close to
the ear (Fig. 12).
3 To contour the neckline and the sideburns, turn the
clipper and make downward strokes (Fig. 13).
4 Move slowly and smoothly. Just follow the natural
hairline.
5 Adjust the position of the swivel head to make
contouring easier.
Using the precision trimmer
You can use the appliance with the precision trimmer to
contour the neckline and the area around the ears more
easily and more precisely.
1 Make sure the appliance is switched off.
2 Remove the comb attachment by pulling it off the
swivel head. (Fig. 11)
3 Apply pressure to the centre of the cutting element
to open it. Remove the cutting element from the
swivel head (Fig. 14).
4 Insert the lug of the precision trimmer into the slot
and push the precision trimmer onto the swivel
head (‘click’). (Fig. 15)

alcohol, petrol or acetone to clean the appliance.
