Operating Instructions

1. Powering On/Off

Press the power button located on the front of the clipper to turn it on or off.

2. Adjusting Length Settings

The clipper offers 28 length settings, from 0.5mm to 28mm. Rotate the zoom wheel on the clipper body to select your desired hair length. The selected length will be displayed on the clipper.

3. Hair Clipping

Ensure hair is clean and dry. Start with a longer length setting if you are unsure, and gradually reduce it. Move the clipper against the direction of hair growth for an even cut. The DualCut and Trim-n-Flow Pro technologies are designed to prevent hair from getting stuck in the comb, allowing for efficient clipping.
