Operating Instructions
Follow these steps for effective and safe hair cutting:
- Prepare Hair: Ensure hair is clean and dry. For best results, comb the hair in the direction of growth to remove tangles.
- Select Length: Choose the appropriate cutting comb for your desired hair length (3mm, 6mm, 9mm, or 12mm). Attach it firmly to the clipper.
- Adjust Fine Height: Use the fine adjustment lever on the side of the clipper to make minor adjustments to the cutting length, allowing for precise blending and tapering.
- Power On: Plug the clipper into a suitable electrical outlet. Press the "ON" button to turn on the device.
- Begin Cutting: Guide the clipper through the hair, moving it against the direction of hair growth. Use slow, steady strokes. For an even cut, overlap previous strokes.
- Finishing Touches: For detailing and outlining, remove the comb attachment and use the bare blades. Exercise extreme caution when doing so.
- Power Off: Once finished, press the "OFF" button and unplug the clipper from the outlet.

Maintenance
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and performance of your hair clipper:
- Cleaning Blades: After each use, turn off and unplug the clipper. Use the provided cleaning brush to remove any hair clippings from the blades and the area around them.
- Lubrication: Regularly apply a few drops of the lubricating oil to the blades. This helps maintain blade sharpness and smooth operation. Do this before or after each use, especially if the clipper feels sluggish.
- Storage: Store the clipper and its accessories in a dry, safe place, away from moisture and extreme temperatures. The included necessaire (if applicable) is ideal for organized storage and travel.
