ACCESSORIES

CHARGING YOUR SHAVER

Blade Alignment

• Your clippers were carefully examined

to ensure that the blades were oiled

and aligned before leaving our factory.

• Blades must be realigned if they have

been removed for cleaning or replacement.

• To realign the blades, simply match the upper and bottom blades teeth up - point

for point. (End of top blade teeth should be approximately 1.2mm back from

bottom blade.)

• If blade alignment is incorrect, add a few drops of oil to the blades, turn clipper

on for a few moments, turn off and unplug. Loosen screws slightly and adjust then

tighten screws after blade is aligned

Oil

• To maintain your clipper in peak condition, the blades should

be oiled every few haircuts.

• Do not use hair oil,grease, oil mixed with kerosene or any

solvent, the solvent will evaporate and leave the thick oil which may slow the

blades motion.

Power Screw

• The power screw permits you to adjust the power.

It has been adjusted before leaving the factory. However, if the voltage in your

home is low, you may need to readjust it.

• To adjust, use a screw driver or a thin coin to turn power screw in clock

wise direction until the arm strikes the coil; making a noise.Then slowly turn

power screw out (counter-clockwise) just until noise stops.This is maximum

power setting.

Blade Lever

• The lever is conveniently located near your thumb (if you’re right-handed) so it

can easily be adjusted while the clipper is in your hand.

• The lever adds versatility to your clipper by allowing you to gradually change the

closeness of your cut without an attachment comb.

• When the lever is in the upper it is in the highest position,the blades will give

you the closest cut and leave the hair very short. Pushing the lever downward

gradually increases the cutting length.

• In it’s lowest position, the lever will leave the hair approximately the same length

as a # 1 comb.

• The lever will also extend the use of your blades since different cutting edge is

used in each setting.

• In addition, if extremely heavy hair cutting has jammed the blades, it will help you

remove hair that has become wedged between the two blades without removing

the blades.

• While the clipper is running, rapidly move the lever from “close cut” to “longer

cut” a couple of times. Doing this each time after you have nished using your

clipper helps to keep the blades clear of cut hair. If your clipper stops cutting and

this does not help.Your cutting blades are dulled. Replace them with new blades.

Hair Cutting Instructions

Before starting the hair cut:

• Inspect the clipper, making sure that it is free of oil between the cutting blade

teeth and turn the unit on to distribute the oil and to make sure it is running

smoothly.Wipe off any excess oil.This should be done after each use.While using

the unit, untwist the cord from time to time to avoid tangling.

• Seat the person so their head is approximately at your eye level.This allows good

visibility while cutting and a relaxed control of the unit.

• Before cutting always comb the hair rst so it is tangle free and back to it’s

natural look.

• Place a towel around the neck and shoulders of the person having the haircut.

Reminders:

• Cut the hair in a relaxed and slow manner. Use 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 to which you

are cutting.

• When cutting with this clipper it is better to leave the hair dry, not wet.With the

hair dry, it is much easier to control the amount of hair being cut.

Attachment Comb

• Attachment Comb #0.5 leaves 3mm (1/8 inch) hair length.

• Attachment Comb #1 leaves 5mm (1/6 inch) hair length.

• Attachment Comb #2 leaves 7mm (1/4 inch) hair length.

• Attachment Comb #3 leaves 9mm (3/8 inch) hair length.

• To attach a comb, hold it with its teeth upward and slide it onto and along

the clipper blade.To remove the comb, simply pull the comb upward and away

from the clipper blade.

• For even cutting,allow the comb attachment/cutter to cut its way through

the hair. Do not force it through quickly.Also remember to comb

the hair frequently to remove trimmed hair and to check for

uneven strands.

• Each comb attachment is marked accordingly on its outside

middle surface.

STEP 1- NAPE OF THE NECK

• Attach comb attachment 3mm or 5mm.

• Hold the clipper cutting edge pointed up and begin the haircut,

starting at the center of the head at the base of the neck (see

diagram 1).

• Hold the clipper comfortably in your hand and hold lightly against

the head with the comb teeth pointing upward. Gradually and

slowly lift the clipper, working upwards and outwards, through

the hair, trimming just a little at a time.

• As you cut, gradually lift the hair clipper head towards you.

Continue to cut the back area from the bottom of the neck

upwards to the top of the ears.

DIAGRAM 4

• Cutting hair requires practice so it is always better to leave the hair longer for

the rst few haircuts until you become used to the length to which each comb

attachment cuts the hair.

STEP 2 – BACK OF THE HEAD

• Change to the next longest comb attachment 7 mm or 9 mm and cut the back of

the head (see diagram 2).

STEP 3 – SIDE OF THE HEAD

• Change to one of the shorter combs 3 mm or 5 mm, trim

sideburns, the hair directly in front of the ears.Then change to

one of the longer combs, 7 mm or 9 mm, and continue to cut to

the top of the head (see diagram 3).

STEP 4 – TOP OFTHE HEAD

• Using comb attachment 7 mm or 9 mm, cut top head from back

to front against the direction in which the hair normally grows

(see diagram 4).

In some cases, this may require the reverse, or cutting from front

to back.

• Comb attachments 3 mm or 5 mm are used for a close crew

cut or short cut.

• For longer hair on top, use the comb provided and lift hair on

the top of the head. Cut over the comb, with the hair lifted or

hold the hair between the ngers to desired length (see diagram

5 and 6).Always work from the back of the head.You can cut the

hair shorter gradually by reducing the space between the comb/

ngers, and the head. Comb out trimmed hair and check for

uneven strands.

STEP 5- THE FINISHING TOUCH

• Finally, use the taper lever without an attachment comb for close trimming

around the base of the neck and the ears.

• To produce a clean straight line on your sideburns, reverse the hair clipper so it

is pointing downwards. (see diagram 7).

• Press the clipper at a 90˚ angle to the head, with the tips of the blade lightly

touching the skin and work downwards.This way you will obtain a clean cut.

SHORTTAPERED STYLES – ‘ FLAT TOPS’ AND

SHORT CUTS

• Starting with the longest attachment comb (9 mm) cut from the back of the neck

to the crown. Hold the attachment comb at against the head and slowly move

the clipper through the hair, as shown (see diagram 8).

• Use the same procedure from the lower side to the upper side of the head, as

illustrated.Then cut the hair against the direction in which it grows from the

front to the crown and then level the cut with the sides.

• To give a ‘attop’ look, the hair on top of the head must be cut over the top of a

at comb rather than by using the attachment comb.

• Use closer cutting attachment combs to taper the hair down to the neckline as

desired. Comb hair and check for uneven areas and outlining neckline

as described previously.
