2. Attaching Guide Combs
Select the desired length guide comb. Align the comb with the clipper blade and push firmly until it clicks into place. The guide combs are color-coded for easy identification of lengths.

Operating Instructions
1. Powering On/Off
To turn the clipper on, slide the power switch upwards. To turn it off, slide the switch downwards.
2. Adjusting Blade Lever
The clipper features a 5-clicking lever arm for precise blade adjustment. Move the lever up or down to change the cutting length without a guide comb, or to fine-tune the length when a comb is attached, ideal for fading.

3. General Usage Tips
- Ensure hair is clean and dry before cutting for best results.
- Always start with a longer guide comb and gradually reduce the length if needed.
- Use smooth, overlapping strokes for an even cut.
Maintenance
1. Cleaning the Blades
After each use, turn off and unplug the clipper. Use the provided cleaning brush to remove loose hairs from the blades. For thorough cleaning, the X Fade Blade can be carefully detached.
2. Oiling the Blades
Regularly apply a few drops of the provided blade oil to the teeth of the blades. Turn the clipper on for a few seconds to distribute the oil evenly. This ensures smooth operation and extends blade life.
