Using the V-197 Hair Clipper:
The V-197 is ideal for general hair cutting and fading. Use the larger guide combs (1.5mm, 3mm, 4.5mm, 6mm, 10mm, 13mm) for various hair lengths. The adjustable taper lever allows for seamless blending and precision cutting.
Using the V-995 Hair Trimmer:
The V-995 is designed for detailing, outlining, and close trimming. Use the smaller guide combs (1.5mm, 3mm, 4.5mm, 6mm) for beard trimming, necklines, and intricate designs. Its precision T-blade ensures sharp lines.
Maintenance
Cleaning the Blades:
- Turn off and unplug the appliance.
- Remove any attached guide comb.
- Use the provided cleaning brush to brush away loose hairs from the blades.
- The blade heads are water washable. You can rinse the blade heads under running water.
- After rinsing, shake off excess water and allow the blades to air dry completely before reattaching or storing.
Oiling the Blades:
For optimal performance and longevity, it is recommended to regularly oil the blades. Apply a few drops of clipper oil (not included due to transportation restrictions) to the blades after each cleaning or every few uses. Turn on the clipper/trimmer for a few seconds to distribute the oil evenly.
