Corded and Cordless Operation
The clipper can be used both corded (while plugged in) and cordless (after charging). The linear motor maintains consistent cutting performance regardless of the battery charge level or hair density.
Usage Tips
- For best results, ensure hair is clean and dry before clipping.
- Move the clipper against the direction of hair growth for an even cut.
- Start with a longer setting and gradually reduce the length if unsure.
