Note: The clipper can be used while plugged in if the battery is depleted, but cordless operation is recommended for optimal maneuverability.

Operating the Hair Clipper

Follow these steps for effective hair trimming:

1. Prepare Hair: Ensure hair is clean and dry. For best results, comb hair in the direction of growth.
2. Select Length: Attach the appropriate guide comb and adjust the length setting using the zoom wheel (0.5 mm to 23 mm).
3. Power On: Press the power button to switch on the clipper.
4. Begin Trimming: Place the flat top of the comb against the skin. Move the clipper slowly against the direction of hair growth. For an even cut, ensure the comb remains in full contact with the skin.
5. Maintain Overlap: Overlap previous strokes to ensure all hair is cut evenly.
6. Power Off: After use, press the power button to switch off the clipper.

Tip: For a 0.5 mm trim, remove the comb and use the clipper blades directly against the skin.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and hygiene of your clipper. The detachable head and blades are washable.

1. Switch Off: Always turn off the clipper before cleaning.
2. Remove Comb: Detach the guide comb from the clipper.
