6. Operating Instructions

The Timco HC4911A is suitable for hair cutting, outlining, and fading. Always ensure hair is clean and dry before cutting.

6.1. Attaching Guide Combs

1. Select the desired guide comb (sizes #1, #2, #3, #4) based on the hair length you wish to achieve.
2. Align the comb with the clipper blade and firmly push it down until it clicks into place.
3. To remove, gently pull the comb upwards from the back of the blade.

6.2. Using the Adjustable Taper Lever

The taper lever, located on the side of the clipper, allows you to fine-tune the cutting length without changing guide combs. Push the lever up for a shorter cut and pull it down for a longer cut. This is ideal for blending and fading.

6.3. Hair Cutting Techniques

• General Cutting: Start with a longer guide comb and work your way down if a shorter length is desired. Always cut against the direction of hair growth for an even cut.
• Outlining: For precise edges around the neckline and ears, remove the guide comb and use the clipper blades directly. Hold the clipper at an angle and gently trace the desired line.
• Fading: Use the adjustable taper lever and different guide combs to create a gradual transition from shorter to longer hair. Start with a shorter setting at the bottom and gradually increase the length as you move upwards.

2. Remove Hair: Use the cleaning brush to remove loose hair from the blades and the clipper body.
3. Wipe Down: Wipe the clipper body with a clean, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the clipper in water.

7.2. Oiling Blades

To maintain blade sharpness and prevent rust, oil the blades regularly (after every few uses or if the clipper starts to pull hair).

1. Apply 2-3 drops of the provided lubricating oil across the top of the blades.
2. Turn the clipper on for approximately 10 seconds to allow the oil to distribute evenly.
