1.2 Initial Charging
Before first use, fully charge the clipper. Connect the charging cable to the clipper and a suitable power source. The LCD display will indicate charging status.
The clipper requires approximately 3 hours for a full charge, providing up to 120 minutes of cordless operation.
1.3 Attaching Guide Combs
Select the desired guide comb for your preferred hair length. Align the comb with the clipper blade and push it firmly until it snaps securely into place. To remove, gently pull the comb away from the blade.
The kit includes six guide combs for various cutting lengths: 1.5mm, 3mm, 4.5mm, 6mm, 9mm, and 12mm.
2. Operation
2.1 Powering On/Off
Locate the On/Off switch on the side of the clipper. Slide the switch upwards to turn the clipper on and downwards to turn it off. The LCD display will illuminate when the clipper is active, showing the remaining battery life.
The LCD display provides real-time battery life and maintenance reminders.
2.2 Adjusting Taper Lever
The adjustable taper lever is located on the side of the clipper. Move the lever up or down to adjust the cutting length without changing guide combs. The taper offers four positions, ranging from 0.5mm to 3mm, allowing for precise blending and fading.
2.3 Hair Cutting Techniques
For best results, ensure hair is clean and dry. Start with a longer guide comb and gradually switch to shorter ones if desired. Hold the clipper against the hair, moving it against the direction of hair growth. Use smooth, overlapping strokes for an even cut.
Always ensure the clipper blades are clean and oiled for optimal performance during use.
3. Maintenance
3.1 Cleaning the Blades
After each use, turn off and unplug the clipper. Use the provided cleaning brush to remove loose hairs from the ceramic and stainless-steel blades. For a more thorough cleaning, detach the blade assembly (refer to specific instructions if provided in a separate guide) and rinse under running water, ensuring the clipper body remains dry. Allow blades to air dry completely before reattaching.
The ceramic and stainless-steel blades are designed for precision and durability, requiring regular cleaning for optimal performance.
3.2 Lubrication
After cleaning and drying, apply 1-2 drops of the included blade oil across the top of the blades. Turn the clipper on for a few seconds to distribute the oil evenly. This helps maintain blade sharpness and reduces friction.
3.3 Storage
Store the clipper in its metal travel case in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Ensure the clipper is turned off before storing.
