Getting Started

Initial Lubrication

Before the first use, and regularly thereafter, it is crucial to lubricate the clipper blades. Apply a few drops of the provided lubricating oil to the blades while the clipper is running to ensure smooth operation and prolong blade life. Wipe off any excess oil.

Attaching Guide Combs

The kit includes four interchangeable guide combs to achieve different hair lengths. To attach a comb, ensure the clipper is turned off and unplugged. Align the comb with the clipper blade and firmly push it into place until it clicks. To remove, gently pull the comb away from the blade.

Operating Instructions

Powering On/Off

To turn the clipper on, locate the power switch on the side of the unit and slide it to the 'ON' position. To turn it off, slide the switch to the 'OFF' position. Always ensure the clipper is securely plugged into a suitable power outlet before use.

Basic Hair Cutting Techniques

• Preparation: Ensure hair is clean, dry, and detangled. Drape a cape or towel around the user's neck and shoulders to catch cut hair.
• Selecting Comb: Start with a longer guide comb than you think you need. You can always go shorter.
• Cutting Direction: Always cut against the direction of hair growth for an even trim.
• Even Strokes: Use slow, even strokes, lifting the clipper slightly at the end of each pass to avoid lines.
• Detailing: For precise lines around the ears, neckline, or for beard trimming, remove the guide comb and use the bare blade carefully. The included scissors and barber comb can be used for blending and detailing longer hair sections.

Care and Maintenance

Cleaning the Blades

After each use, turn off and unplug the clipper. Use the provided cleaning brush to remove any loose hairs from the blades and the clipper body. For a more thorough cleaning, the blades can often be detached (refer to specific instructions if provided on packaging) and rinsed under water, ensuring they are completely dry before reattaching and oiling.

Lubricating the Blades

Regular lubrication is essential for optimal performance and longevity of your clipper. Apply 1-2 drops of the lubricating oil to the blades before and after each use. Turn the clipper on for a few seconds to distribute the oil, then wipe off any excess with a soft cloth.

Storage

When not in use, ensure the clipper is clean, oiled, and has the blade protector securely in place. Store the clipper and all accessories in a dry, safe place, away from moisture and extreme temperatures.

Troubleshooting

Common Issues and Solutions

• Clipper not turning on: Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet. Check the power switch is in the 'ON' position.
• Clipper pulling or snagging hair: The blades may be dull, dirty, or require lubrication. Clean the blades thoroughly with the brush, apply lubricating oil, and ensure they are properly aligned. If the issue persists, blade replacement may be necessary.
• Excessive noise or vibration: This could indicate a need for cleaning and lubrication. Ensure no hair or debris is lodged in the blade mechanism. If the issue continues, check for any loose components.
• Uneven cut: Ensure the guide comb is securely attached and that you are cutting against the direction of hair growth with consistent pressure and speed.
