Operating Instructions
Select the appropriate cutting guide size based on the desired hair length. The set includes sizes ranging from 1/8 inch to 1 inch. For shorter lengths and precision fades, use the smaller guides. For longer, uniform cuts, opt for the larger guides. Always ensure the guide is securely attached before operating the clipper.
Move the clipper against the direction of hair growth for an even cut. Overlap strokes slightly to avoid leaving lines or uneven patches. For detailed length information, refer to the guide size chart below:

Maintenance
After each use, remove the cutting guide from the clipper. Use a cleaning brush to remove any trapped hair from both the guide and the clipper blade. The guides can be rinsed under cool running water and allowed to air dry completely before storing. Store the guides in the provided organizer tray to keep them clean, protected, and easily accessible.

Troubleshooting
If a cutting guide does not feel secure on the clipper, remove it and reattach, ensuring the metal clips fully engage with the clipper blade. If the guide appears damaged or bent, replace it to prevent uneven cuts or potential injury.
