Setup
Unpacking:
Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Retain the packaging for storage or future transport.
Initial Inspection:
Inspect the hair clipper and all accessories for any signs of damage. Do not use if any part is damaged.
Power Connection:
The HC5035 is mains-powered. Ensure the power cord is fully extended and not tangled. Plug the clipper into a suitable electrical outlet (220-240V AC).
Attaching Guide Combs:
Select the desired coloured guide comb based on the hair length you wish to achieve. Align the comb with the clipper blades and push firmly until it clicks into place. The colour-coded combs make length selection easy.

Operating Instructions
General Hair Cutting Tips:
- Ensure hair is clean, dry, and tangle-free before cutting.
- For best results, comb the hair in the direction of growth.
- Always start with a longer guide comb than you think you need to avoid cutting too much hair. You can always go shorter.
- Move the clipper against the direction of hair growth for an even cut.
Using the Clipper:
Power On:
Switch the clipper on using the power switch located on the side of the unit.
Adjusting Blade Length (Taper Lever):
The clipper features a taper lever for precise adjustment of the cutting blade. This allows for fine-tuning of cutting length between comb sizes or for blending and fading. Move the lever up or down to adjust the blade position.

Cutting Hair:
Hold the clipper firmly and guide it through the hair. Use smooth, overlapping strokes. For the top of the head, use the longer guide combs. For the sides and back, use shorter combs or the taper lever for blending.

Using Side Taper Combs:
The two specialized side taper combs are designed for easy and precise cutting around the ears and sideburns, creating a clean, tapered look.
Using Scissors and Comb:
For detailing, blending, or cutting longer sections of hair, use the included scissors and comb. The comb helps to lift and guide the hair for precise cuts.
Maintenance
Cleaning:
After Each Use:
Switch off and unplug the clipper. Remove the guide comb. Use the cleaning brush to brush away any loose hairs from the blades and the clipper body. For thorough cleaning, the top blade can be unscrewed (2 screws) and cleaned underneath, but this is typically recommended only every 6 months.

Blade Lubrication:
Apply a small drop of clipper oil (not included, but commonly available) to the blades after each cleaning to ensure smooth operation and longevity. The self-sharpening stainless steel blades require minimal maintenance, but lubrication is key.
Storage:
Store the clipper and all accessories in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children.
