Hair Cutting Guide

General Information:

Ensure hair is clean, well-combed, tangle-free, and dry.
If new to hair clipping, start with a higher setting and gradually reduce the length to avoid cutting too much hair.
Use slow, controlled movements. Do not force the clipper through hair faster than it can cut.
Periodically shake or blow off hair from the clipper. Remove excess hair from the comb if necessary.
Comb hair regularly to style as desired during clipping for better control.

Hair Cutting with Clipping Comb:

With the appliance off, attach the clipping comb (1a/1b) to the appliance.
Use the length selector (3) to set the desired hair length.
Length Settings (mm):
- Long hair comb (1a): 14, 17, 20, 23, 26, 29, 32, 35
- Short hair comb (1b): 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24
Turn the appliance on (4) and cut hair to the desired length.

Hair Cutting Without Clipping Comb:

Remove the clipping comb.
Turn the appliance on (4) to begin cutting.
Move the cutting system parallel to the skin (A, hair cutting), against the direction of hair growth, slowly and carefully.
For trimming contours, position the cutting system vertically (B, trimming).
Do not tilt the appliance while it is touching the skin (C).
Avoid jerky movements while cutting.
