2. Attaching Guide Combs

Select the desired attachment comb (1/8", 1/4", 3/8", or 1/2") for your preferred cutting length. Align the comb with the clipper blade and snap it securely into place. Ensure the comb is firmly attached before operation.

3. Adjusting the Blade

The clipper features a 4-position adjustable blade, allowing for fine-tuning of cutting lengths from 1mm to 1.9mm. Use the blade adjustment lever to select the desired length. A locking switch keeps the blade in place during use.

Operating Instructions

1. Powering On/Off

Press the power button to turn the clipper on. Press it again to turn the clipper off.

2. Adjusting Speed Settings

The clipper offers intelligent 5-speed control. Use the '+' and '-' buttons to cycle through the speed settings. The digital LCD display will show the current speed level. Higher speeds are suitable for thicker hair, while lower speeds are ideal for fine hair or sensitive areas.

3. Corded and Cordless Operation

The clipper can be used cordlessly once charged, providing flexibility. For continuous operation or if the battery is low, connect the charging cord for corded use.

4. Cutting Techniques

For best results, ensure hair is clean and dry. Guide the clipper against the direction of hair growth. Use the provided attachment combs for uniform length. The adjustable blade is useful for blending and achieving precise lines around necklines, ears, and sideburns.

Maintenance

1. Blade Cleaning and Oiling

After each use, turn off and unplug the clipper. Use the provided blade brush to remove any loose hair from the blades. Apply a few drops of the included blade oil to the teeth of the blades. This helps maintain blade sharpness and prevents rust. Run the clipper for a few seconds to distribute the oil.

2. General Cleaning

Wipe the clipper body with a clean, dry cloth. Do not immerse the clipper in water or use harsh chemicals for cleaning.

3. Storage

Store the clipper and its accessories in the provided storage case in a cool, dry place, away from moisture and direct sunlight.

Troubleshooting

• Clipper not turning on: Ensure the clipper is charged. If using corded, check the power connection.
• Poor cutting performance: Clean and oil the blades. Ensure attachment combs are correctly seated. The blade may need replacement if it is dull or damaged.
• Excessive noise or vibration: Clean and oil the blades. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
• Battery not holding charge: Ensure the charging cable and adapter are functioning correctly. If the battery life has significantly decreased over time, it may be reaching the end of its lifespan.
