3. Operating Instructions
3.1 Attaching and Detaching Guide Combs
The kit includes 12 attachment guards, also known as guide combs, to achieve various hair lengths. These range from 1/16" (half guide comb) up to 1" (number 8 guide comb). Each measurement represents the cut length of the hair.

To attach a guide comb:
- Align the blade teeth of the clipper with the front of the guide comb.
- Gently push the guide comb onto the clipper until you hear an audible click. This indicates a secure fit, ensuring mistake-proof cutting.
To detach a guide comb:
- Place your thumb at the back of the guide comb.
- Push the back off first, and the guide comb will roll right off.
3.2 Specialty Guide Combs
The kit also includes specialized guide combs for specific grooming needs:
- Left and Right Ear Taper Combs: These combs are designed to smoothly blend hair around the ears. They are tapered, with a short side and a long side, to create a natural transition from longer to shorter hair.
- Eyebrow Comb: This comb protects the cutting on both sides, allowing you to trim only a small amount of length from your eyebrows for a neat and clean appearance.
