ance of the cutters and trimmer,oil lightly

Brush or rinse the accumulated hair from
the cutters. Do not submerge the clipper

CHARGING YOUR HAIR
CLIPPER
Turn the clipper off
Insert the adapter plug into the bottom of
the clipper and plug the adapter unit into
a power outlet. The red light will glow to
indicate that it is charging.
The clipper will be fully charged in
14-16 hours.
The batteries cannot be overcharged, but
we recommend that charging be discon-
tinued if the clipper will not be used for a
long period of time.
It is advisable not to use this clipper
directly from the power outlet when it
has been fully charged, but if while using
the clipper in cordless mode there is a
noticeable drop in power, you can use
directly from the power outlet. Never
use under water when connected to
the outlet.
If the clipper has not been used for a
month or longer,it is advisable to
recharge it for 14-16 hours.
To preserve the life of the batteries,
discharge them by running the clipper
until the blades move slowly. Switch
off and fully recharge. Do this every
six months.
Charge the clipper at temperatures
between 40º-90ºF.
Nickel-Cadmium batteries included.
See battery removal section for
proper disposal of batteries.

How to Use
Reminders:
Cut the hair gradually using short strokes
only to work gradually over the entire head.
Always take off a little hair at a time. You
can always trim off additional hair later.
As you work, comb the hair frequently back
into the style that you are cutting.
Each
comb attachment is marked accoringly on
its outside middle surface.
BEST TECHNIQUE
These instructions are only to be used as a
guide.You may prefer to begin trimming
with a longer comb attachment to avoid
cutting hair too short.As you become
familiar with the settings, you can select
your desired length setting.
STEP 1 – Nape of the neck – Diagram 1
1. Use 3mm or 7mm
Guide Comb.
2. Hold the clipper with
the cutting edge
pointed up and
begin the haircut.
Start at the center
of the head at the
base of the neck.
3.
Hold the clipper lightly against the head
with the comb teeth pointing upward.
Slowly lift the clipper,working upwards and
outwards through the hair,trimming just a
little at a time.
STEP 2 – Back of the head – Diagram 2
With the 12mm or
18mm Guide Comb
attached, cut the hair
at the back of the
head.
STEP 3 – Side of the head – Diagram 3

Guide Comb attached,
trim sideburns.Then,
change to the longer
9mm Guide Comb and
continue to cut the top
of the head.
STEP 4 – Top of the head – Diagram 4

head with a hand comb. Cut over the
hand comb with the hair lifted or hold
the hair between the fingers and cut it
to the desired length.
3.
Always work from the back of the head.
STEP 5 – The finishing touches – Diagram 5

around each ear.When using the ear comb
guide, angle the clipper and lightly stroke
around each ear towards the back of the
neck.
2. To produce a clean straight line at the
sideburns, reverse the hair clipper. Press
the reversed clipper at right angles to
the head, tips of the blades lightly
touching the skin and then work
downwards.
