Introduction

◗Dear customer, you have made the right

choice! Your new Philips hair clipper adapts to

the contours of the head and enables

comfortable use.

◗To enjoy using the hair clipper for a long time,

we advise you to read the following

information.

Important

Read these instructions for use carefully before

using the appliance and save them for future

reference.

◗Check if the voltage indicated on the adapter

corresponds to the mains voltage in your

home before you connect the appliance.

◗This appliance is suitable for mains voltages

from 220 to 240 volts.

◗Only use the adapter supplied.

◗The adapter contains a transformer. Do not

cut off the adapter to replace it with another

plug, as this will cause a hazardous situation.

◗Do not use a damaged adapter.

◗If the adapter is damaged, always have it

replaced by one of the original type in order

to avoid a hazard.

C◗Keep the appliance and the adapter dry.

◗Keep the appliance out of the reach of

ENGLISH 5

Optimising the lifetime of the battery

After the appliance has been charged for the first

time, do not recharge it between clipping

sessions. Continue using it and recharge it only

when the battery is (almost) empty.

- Discharge the battery completely twice a year

by letting the motor run until it stops.

- Do not keep the appliance plugged into a wall

socket all the time.

- If the appliance has not been used for a long

time, it must be recharged for 8 hours (NiCd

battery) or 12 hours (NiMh battery).

Corded clipping

Do not run the appliance from the mains when

the battery is fully charged.

◗To use the hair clipper connected to the

mains:

Switch the hair clipper off, connect it to the mains

and wait a few seconds before switching it on.

If the battery is completely empty, wait a few

minutes before switching the appliance on.

Preparing for use

Clipping with comb attachment

C1Before you start clipping, make sure the

head of the person whose hair you are

cutting is at the same level as your chest.

2To get the best results, use the hair clipper

only on dry hair. Do not use it on freshly

washed hair.

3First comb the hair into the direction of

hair growth.

C4Always move the clipper against the

direction of hair growth, otherwise it will

not cut the hair properly.

5Move the clipper through the hair slowly.

Using the appliance

Clipping with comb attachment

C1Slide the comb attachment onto the rails

on the appliance until you hear a click.

2Make sure that the arms of the comb

attachment have been properly slid onto

the rails on both sides.

ENGLISH 7

C3Choose the appropriate hair length

setting.

Press the adjustment button on the back of the

appliance and slide the comb attachment to the

desired position.

The clipper has 7 different hair length settings:

- 3 mm

- 6 mm

- 9 mm

- 12 mm

- 15 mm

- 18 mm

- 21 mm

Start at the setting for maximum hair length (21

mm) to familiarise yourself with the clipper.

4Make sure that the flat part of the comb

attachment is always fully in contact with

the scalp to obtain an even cutting result.

5Pass the clipper slowly over the crown

from different directions to achieve an

even cutting result.

6Make overlapping passes over the head to

ensure that the clipper catches all the hairs

that need to be cut.

7Comb the hair in the direction of hair

growth from time to time so that the

clipper can catch the hair more easily.

ENGLISH8

8To achieve a good result with curly, sparse

or long hair, you can use a comb to guide

the hair towards the clipper.

9We advise you to regularly remove clipped

hair from the comb while clipping.

Graduation

The Philips hair clipper not only allows you to cut

the hair evenly at the same length all over the

head, it also enables you to achieve a smooth

transition from longer hair on top of the head to

shorter hair on the back and sides of the head.

1Start clipping at the setting for maximum

hair length (i.e. position 21 mm).

2Then choose a shorter setting and cut the

hair on all parts of the head except the

top, where you want the hair to be longer.

3You can repeat this procedure until the

hair on every part of the head has the

desired length.

Precise contouring without comb

attachment

You can use the clipper without comb attachment

to contour the neckline and the area around the

ears.

Be careful when you are clipping without comb

attachment, for the clipper will remove every hair

it touches.

ENGLISH 9

1Remove the comb attachment by pulling it

off the clipper.

2Before contouring the hairline round the

ears, comb the hair ends over the ear.

3Bend the person's ear to get it out of the

way.

C4Tilt the clipper in such a way that only one

edge of the cutting element touches the

hair ends.

C5Only cut the hair ends.The hairline should

be close to the ear.

C6To contour the nape hairline and the

sideburns, turn the clipper and make

downward strokes.

7Move slowly and smoothly.

C8Just follow the natural hairline.

Cutting over styling comb or fingers

This technique can be used to obtain hair lengths

over 21 mm. Bear in mind that this technique is

difficult to master and should only be applied by

experienced users.
