OIL (see Page 2: A)
To maintain your clipper in peak condition, the blades should be oiled every few haircuts. Do not use
hair oil, grease or oil mixed with kerosene or any solvent, as the solvent will evaporate and leave the
thick oil which may slow down the blades' motion.
MOUNTING (see Page 2: B)
To mount the comb attachment, put the locking knob in  position (see page 3, E, 24) and insert

the comb attachment as described on page 2, B. The "clicks" that you can hear correspond to the
different cutting length settings. Once the comb attachment stops, it means that it is in
position"1".
 To remove the comb attachment, proceed the other way around, still making sure that the
locking knob is in  position.
Once you have chosen the cutting length, put the locking knob in  position to block the comb

attachment.
To attach the comb attachment, hold it with teeth up and snap comb attachment firmly to the
appliance. The comb attachment can be set to 7 cutting length positions:
1. 1/6"
2. 1/4"
3. 1/3"
4. 5/12"
5. 1/2"
6. 7/12"
7. 2/3"
CUTTING HAIR WITH THE COMB ATTACHMENT (SEE PAGE 2: C and PAGE 3)

Only cut a small amount of hair to start with until you become accustomed to the length the
comb attachment gives to the hair.
 We suggest you try the longest comb attachment in position "7" on the clipper first.
 For uniform cutting, never push or force the clipper through the hair at a fast pace. The clipper
works most efficiently when it works at its own speed.
 Start by combing the hair in its natural direction.
 Place the comb attachment in position "7" to your clipper and start by trimming the sides from
the bottom upwards. Hold the clipper lightly against the hair with the teeth of the comb
attachment pointing up but flat against the head. Slowly lift the clipper up and outward through
the hair, cutting only a small amount at a time (8 and 9).
 If you want shorter hair, either place the comb attachment in position "1" or change the hair
length (see B, 6). You can also apply more pressure to the present comb attachment. This
procedure requires practice, and it is always better to leave too much hair during the first few
haircuts (10).
 For the top of the head, you will give a fairly short cut if you place the comb attachment in
position "1". With the teeth flat against the head, slowly start trimming from the front to the back.
Again, it is better to leave the hair longer at the beginning (11).
Short cuts
 Always cut from the back of the neck to the crown, placing the comb attachment in position "7".
Holding it flat against the head, slowly move the clipper up through the hair. Use the same
technique for the sides, cutting from the bottom to the upper side of the head (14).

For the front of the crown, cut the hair against the direction in which it grows. Then even it up
with the sides (15).
