Operating Instructions
1. Attaching Comb Guards
Select the desired comb guard for the hair length you wish to achieve. Align the comb guard with the clipper blade and snap it firmly into place. Ensure it is securely attached before use.
2. Turning On/Off
To turn the clipper on, slide the power switch to the "ON" position. To turn it off, slide the switch to the "OFF" position.
3. Adjusting the Taper Lever
The taper lever on the side of the clipper allows for precise adjustment of cutting length without changing comb guards. Move the lever up for a shorter cut and down for a longer cut. The lever features click positions for consistent settings.
4. Hair Cutting Techniques
For best results, ensure hair is clean and dry. Hold the clipper with the blade flat against the head or beard, moving against the direction of hair growth. Use smooth, even strokes. For fading, gradually adjust the taper lever and use different comb guards as needed.

Maintenance
1. Cleaning the Blades
- After each use, turn off the clipper and remove any attached comb guard.
- Use the provided cleaning brush to remove loose hairs from the blades and the clipper body.
- Open the removable hair pocket door (located near the blade) to clean accumulated hair from the motor area.

2. Oiling the Blades
Regular oiling is crucial for maintaining blade performance and longevity. After cleaning, apply a few drops of the lubricating oil (provided) to the teeth and heel of the blades. Turn the clipper on for a few seconds to distribute the oil evenly. Wipe off any excess oil.
3. Storage
Store the clipper in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Ensure the blade cover is in place to protect the blades when not in use.
