- For a uniform cut, ensure the comb attachment remains flat against the scalp.
- Regularly tap or brush off accumulated hair from the comb and blades during use to prevent clogging.
Cordless Use
The clipper provides up to 75 minutes of cordless operation on a full charge. If the battery runs low during use, the clipper can also be used while plugged into a power outlet.
