4. Setup

1. Unpack the Kit: Carefully remove all components from the deluxe travel case.
2. Inspect the Clipper: Ensure the clipper and its blades are free from any damage.
3. Initial Blade Oiling: Before first use, apply a few drops of the provided blade oil to the clipper blades. Turn the clipper on for a few seconds to distribute the oil, then wipe off any excess. This ensures smooth operation and prolongs blade life.
4. Attach a Guide Comb: Select the desired guide comb (3mm, 6mm, 9mm, or 12mm) for your preferred hair length. Align the comb with the clipper blades and push it firmly until it clicks into place.

5. Operating Instructions

1. Prepare Hair: Ensure hair is clean and dry. Use the large comb to detangle and prepare the hair for cutting.
2. Select Guide Comb: Choose the appropriate guide comb for the desired hair length. For first-time users, start with a longer comb to avoid cutting too much hair.
3. Adjust Taper Lever: The adjustable taper lever allows for precise cutting lengths without changing guide combs. Move the lever up for a closer cut and down for a longer cut. This is useful for blending and fading.
4. Power On: Plug the clipper into an AC power outlet. Turn the clipper on using the power switch.
5. Begin Cutting: Hold the clipper with the blades pointing downwards. Start cutting from the bottom of the head, moving upwards against the direction of hair growth. Use smooth, overlapping strokes.
6. Use Scissors for Detail: For longer hair sections or detailed work around the ears and neckline, use the included scissors.
7. Check Progress: Periodically stop and comb the hair to check for evenness and to remove loose hairs.
8. Power Off: Once finished, turn off the clipper and unplug it from the power outlet.

6. Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your hair clipper.

• Cleaning Blades: After each use, remove the guide comb. Use the cleaning brush to brush away any loose hairs from the blades and the clipper body.
• Oiling Blades: Regularly apply 1-2 drops of the provided blade oil across the top of the blades. Turn the clipper on for a few seconds to allow the oil to penetrate. This keeps the blades sharp and prevents rust. Wipe off any excess oil.
• Storage: Store the clipper and all accessories in the deluxe travel case in a dry, cool place. Ensure the protective cover is placed over the blades when stored.

7. Troubleshooting

• Clipper Not Turning On:
      - Ensure the clipper is securely plugged into a working AC outlet.
      - Check if the power switch is in the 'ON' position.
• Clipper Pulling Hair:
      - Blades may be dull or dirty. Clean and oil the blades as per maintenance instructions.
      - Ensure hair is clean and dry before cutting.
      - The adjustable taper lever might not be set correctly for the desired cut.
• Excessive Noise/Vibration:
      - Blades may require oiling. Apply blade oil.
      - Check if the blades are properly aligned and secured.
