With the comb attached, locate the length setting dial on the clipper body.
Slide the dial up or down to select your desired hair length. The selected length will be clearly displayed on the clipper.
For a 0.5mm trim, remove the comb attachment and use the clipper directly.

5.2 Hair Clipping

For best results, ensure hair is clean and dry before clipping.

Turn on the clipper by pressing the power button.
Start clipping from the nape of the neck, moving upwards against the direction of hair growth.
Use smooth, even strokes. For an even cut, ensure the flat part of the comb is always in contact with the scalp.
Regularly clear hair from the comb and blades to maintain optimal performance and prevent clogging.

Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your clipper.

Turn off and unplug the clipper from the electrical outlet.
Gently detach the cutting element (blades) from the clipper body.
Rinse the blades thoroughly under running water to remove all hair clippings.
Allow the blades to air dry completely before reattaching them to the clipper body. Ensure they are fully dry to prevent rust.

6.2 Cleaning the Clipper Body and Comb

Wipe the clipper body with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Do not submerge the clipper body in water.
The comb attachment can be rinsed under running water. Ensure it is dry before reattaching.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your Philips Series 3000 Hair Clipper, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

7.1 Clipper Not Turning On

Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into both the clipper and a functional electrical outlet.
Check if the power outlet is working correctly by plugging in another appliance.

7.2 Poor Cutting Performance

Ensure the blades are clean and free of hair clippings. Accumulated hair can hinder performance.
Check if the comb attachment is correctly secured to the clipper head.
While the blades are self-sharpening, inspect them for any visible damage or dullness. If damaged, contact support for replacement.

7.3 Clipper Overheating

Discontinue use immediately and allow the clipper to cool down for at least 15-20 minutes.
Ensure the blades and motor area are free from any obstructions or excessive hair buildup.
Avoid prolonged continuous use without breaks.
