4. Operating Instructions
4.1 General Use
Before cutting, ensure hair is clean and dry. For best results, comb hair in the direction of growth. Hold the clipper with the blade flat against the head and move it slowly against the direction of hair growth. Overlapping strokes will ensure an even cut.

5. Care & Maintenance
5.1 Cleaning the Blades

5.2 Oiling the Blades
Regular oiling is crucial for maintaining blade sharpness and smooth operation. After cleaning and drying the blades, apply 1-2 drops of the supplied blade oil across the top of the blades. Turn the clipper on for a few seconds to distribute the oil evenly. This reduces friction, keeps blades cool, and extends performance.
5.3 Storage
Store the clipper and all accessories in the provided soft storage pouch. Ensure the clipper is clean, oiled, and dry before storing. Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture.
