4. Setup & Installation
To attach the guide comb to your Remington hair clipper:
- Ensure Clipper is Off: Before attaching or detaching any accessory, ensure your hair clipper is turned off and unplugged (if corded).
- Select Desired Comb: Choose the guide comb that corresponds to your desired hair cutting length. The combs are typically marked with length indicators (e.g., 3mm, 6mm, 9mm, 12mm, 18mm, 25mm).
- Align Comb: Position the guide comb over the clipper blade, aligning the comb's attachment points with the corresponding slots on the clipper head.
- Secure Attachment: Gently push the comb down until it clicks securely into place. Ensure it is firmly seated and does not wobble. Do not force the comb, as this may cause damage.
- Verify Attachment: Lightly tug on the comb to confirm it is securely attached before turning on the clipper.
To remove the guide comb, gently lift it from the clipper head, typically by pressing a release button or pulling it upwards from the back, depending on your specific clipper model. Refer to your clipper's main instruction manual for detailed attachment and removal procedures.

Once the guide comb is securely attached to your compatible Remington hair clipper:
- Power On: Turn on your hair clipper.
- Begin Trimming: Start trimming hair by moving the clipper against the direction of hair growth. Use smooth, even strokes.
- Check Length: Periodically check the hair length to ensure the desired result is being achieved.
- Clean During Use: If hair accumulates in the comb, turn off the clipper and remove the comb to clear the debris.
For detailed hair cutting techniques and tips, refer to the instruction manual provided with your Remington hair clipper.
6. Maintenance
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and performance of your guide combs:
- Cleaning After Each Use: After each use, remove the guide comb from the clipper. Use a small brush (often supplied with the clipper) to remove any trapped hair from the comb and the clipper blades.
- Washing: The plastic guide combs can be rinsed under running water. Ensure they are completely dry before reattaching them to the clipper or storing them. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Storage: Store the guide combs in a clean, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keep them protected from physical damage.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect the combs for any signs of wear, cracks, or broken teeth. Replace damaged combs immediately to prevent uneven cuts or potential injury.
