1. Prepare Hair: Ensure hair is clean, dry, and combed to remove tangles.
2. Select Length:
   • Adjustable Lever: The clipper features an adjustable lever on the side, allowing for fine-tuning of cutting length from #000 (closest cut) to #1 (longer cut). Move the lever up or down to select the desired blade length.
   • Comb Attachments: For longer hair lengths, select the appropriate comb attachment (also known as a guard) from the included set. These attachments snap onto the clipper blades. Refer to the markings on each comb for its corresponding length (e.g., #1, #2, #3, etc.).
3. Power On: Flip the power switch to the "ON" position. The clipper will begin to vibrate and the blades will move.
4. Begin Cutting:
   • Start cutting from the bottom of the head, moving upwards against the direction of hair growth.
   • Use smooth, overlapping strokes.
   • For an even cut, maintain a consistent angle and pressure.
   • Periodically brush away cut hair from the blades to ensure optimal performance.
5. Power Off: Once finished, flip the power switch to the "OFF" position and unplug the clipper from the electrical outlet.

6. Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning and maintenance will extend the life of your clippers and ensure consistent performance.

1. Unplug: Always ensure the clipper is unplugged before cleaning.
2. Remove Hair: Use the cleaning brush to remove all loose hair from the blades and the clipper housing. Pay special attention to the area between the blades.
3. Oil Blades: Apply 2-3 drops of blade oil across the top of the blades and 1 drop on each side of the blade set. Turn the clipper on for a few seconds to allow the oil to penetrate. This lubricates the blades, reduces friction, and prevents rust.
4. Wipe Down: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the exterior of the clipper. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
5. Storage: Store the clipper in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep the blade guard on when not in use to protect the blades.
