you use be operated in a sensible fashion

with due care and attention placed on the

following important operating instructions:

Read all instructions thoroughly

before activating the appliance and

retain them for future reference.

is the same as the voltage requirements of

appliance in any form of liquid and do not

use near bath tubs, basins or other vessels

containing water.

then turn the power on.

NOTE: For uniform cutting, never push or force the

hair clipper through the hair at a fast speed.The

hair clipper works most efficiently when it works at

its own speed.

Adjustable Lever

The adjustable lever adds versatility to

your hair clipper by allowing you to

gradually change the closeness of your cut

without using an attachment comb.

When the lever is in the uppermost

position, the blade will give you the

closest cut.To increase the cutting length,

push the lever downward gradually.

The lever extends the variety of lengths

that can be achieved with each attachment

comb, by using the varying cutting edges

with each attachment comb.

Attachment Combs

Attachment combs should be fitted to

hair clipper by placing the top edge (comb

edge) of the attachment comb over the

top of the cutting blades.

Gently lift the tab at the other end of the

attachment comb and push down until a

click is heard.

Attachment Comb #1 – leaves hair

approx. 3mm (1/8") in length

Attachment Comb #2 – leaves hair

approx. 6mm (1/4") in length

Attachment Comb #3 – leaves hair

approx. 9mm (3/8") in length

Attachment Comb #4 – leaves hair

approx. 12mm (1/2") in length

Initially cut only a small amount of hair

until you become accustomed to the

length each attachment comb leaves the

hair.

It is suggested to try the longest

attachment comb on the hair clipper first,

then use the shorter one if a shorter

length is desired.

Using Your Kambrook Hair

Clipper

1. Place a towel around the neck of the

person to prevent hair from falling down

inside the collar.

2. Position the person in a chair so that

his/her head is at your eye level.

3. Comb the hair to remove all the

tangles, hold the clipper in a relaxed,

comfortable grip to help you maintain

accurate cutting control.

4. Before using the clipper ensure that the

blades are free of any hair clippings and

the blades are well oiled. (See Maintaining

Your Kambrook Clipper on page 6)

Medium to Long Cut

(with attachment combs)

A-1 A-2 A-3 A-4

attachment comb pointing up but flat

against the head. Slowly lift the hair

clipper up and outward through the hair,

cutting only a small amount at a time.

(Diagram A-1)

3. Repeat around sides and back of head.

(Diagram A–2 & A–3)

4. If you desire shorter hair, either change

to a lower number attachment comb or

apply more pressure and less lift away

from head with the present attachment

comb.

5. For the top of the head, you will give a

fairly short cut if you use the #4

attachment comb.With the teeth flat

against the head, slowly start trimming

from the front to the back. (Diagram A-4)

Note:The entire procedure requires practice, and it

is always better to leave the hair longer in the first

few haircuts.

lever up to the close – cut position

(see “adjustable lever

clipper between the side burns and the

ear. (Diagram B-1)

is up against the hairline.With the outline

of the hair as your guide, slowly move the

hair clipper over, around and behind the

ears. (Diagram B-2)

4. For the back of the neck and side

burns, hold the clipper up side down, and

holding it against the skin at the length

desired, move downwards.

Short Cuts to Perfect Flat Tops,

Crew Cuts

C-1 C-2 C-3

1.Always cut from the back of the neck to

the crown, using the longest attachment

comb. Holding it flat against the head,

slowly move the hair clipper up through

the hair. (Diagram C-1)

2. Use the same technique for the sides,

cutting from the bottom to the upper side

of the head.

3. From the front to the crown, cut the

hair against the direction in which it

grows.Then even it up with the sides.

(Diagram C-2)

4. For a flat top, use a normal flat comb

and cut hair on top of the head over it.

5.To taper hair down to the neckline, use

closer cutting attachment combs. Comb

hair and check for uneven spots and

outline sideburns and neckline. (Diagram

C-3)

6. If a short tapered cut on the sides and

back is desired, follow the diagram below

and change attachments as illustrated.

(Diagram C-4)

Maintaining Your Kambrook

Hair Clipper

Cleaning

After you have finished using your hair

clipper rapidly move the adjustable lever

up and down a couple of times while the

hair clipper is still running, to remove any

hair that may be caught in between the

blades.Then switch off the appliance and

power outlet.Then unplug your hair

clipper and clean the blades with the

brush supplied.

Oiling

To maintain the hair clipper in peak

condition, the blades should be regularly

oiled before, during and after every

haircut.A substitute/replacement for the

clipper oil supplied in the kit is household

sewing machine oil.

NOTE: Do not use hair oil, grease, oil mixed with

kerosene or solvent, as the solvent will evaporate

and leave the thick oil, which may slow down the

blade motion.

To oil the blades, gently squeeze a few

drops of oil between the blade teeth and

turn the clipper on, checking that the

clipper is running smoothly.

If the blades are dulled and have stopped

cutting, replace them with new blades

from your nearest Kambrook service

centre.
