switch on the appliance.

Using the appliance

Make sure your hair is clean and dry. Do not use the appliance on freshly

washed hair.

1 Comb your hair with a styling comb in the direction of hair

growth (Fig. 3).

Clipping with comb attachment

Use the small or large comb attachment, depending 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).

See the table below for an overview of the length settings and the

corresponding hair lengths of each comb attachment.

4 9mm/0.35in 4 19mm/0.75in

5 11mm/0.43in 5 21mm/0.83in

1 Slide the comb attachment into the guiding grooves of the

appliance (‘click’) (Fig. 5).

ENGLISH8

Make sure that the comb attachment has been properly slid into the

grooves on both sides.

2 Set the comb attachment to the desired hair length.To do this,

press the release button on the length selector (1) and turn it to

the left or right (2). (Fig. 6)

Do not turn the length selector beyond the highest hair length setting

(5).

3 Switch on the appliance.

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)

1 Set the cutting element to the desired position by 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.

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 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.

ENGLISH 9

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

appliance (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.
