5. Operating Instructions
- Preparation: Ensure hair is clean, dry, and free of tangles. Use the barber comb to detangle hair before cutting.
- Power On: Plug the clipper into a suitable electrical outlet. Locate the power switch on the side of the clipper and slide it to the "ON" position.
- Cutting Technique:
- Always start with a longer comb length than you think you need. You can always cut more hair off, but you cannot put it back on.
- Hold the clipper with the teeth of the comb flat against the head.
- Move the clipper slowly through the hair, against the direction of hair growth.
- Overlap strokes to ensure an even cut.
- Use the scissors for detailing or for areas where the clipper cannot reach.
- Power Off: Once finished, slide the power switch to the "OFF" position and unplug the clipper from the outlet.

6. Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular cleaning and maintenance will prolong the life of your hair cutting kit.
- Clean Blades: After each use, remove the cutting comb. Use the cleaning brush to brush away any loose hairs from the blades and the clipper body.
- Oil Blades: Apply a few drops of the provided lubricating oil to the blades. Turn the clipper on for a few seconds to distribute the oil evenly. This helps maintain blade sharpness and prevents rust.
- Store: Place the blade guard over the blades when not in use. Store the clipper and all accessories in a dry, safe place.
