Using the appliance

Preparing for hair clipping
Only use the appliance on clean, dry hair. Do not
use it on freshly washed hair.
1 Make sure that the head of the person whose
hair you intend to cut is at the same level as
your chest. This ensures that all parts of the
head are clearly visible and within easy reach.
2 Comb the hair in the growth direction (Fig. 3).
Clipping with comb
The appliance comes with three combs for 15
different hair lengths.
The minimum remaining hair length is 1.6mm and
the maximum remaining hair length is 41mm.
1 Select the comb you want to use.
The table shows how long the hair will be after
clipping at the different settings of the small comb
and large comb.

stubble comb for a 'stubble look'
- To create a 'stubble look', clip with the small
comb set to setting 1 (3mm) first.
- Then clip the hair with the stubble comb for a
hair length of 1.6mm.
2 Slide the selected comb into the guiding
grooves on both sides of the handle
('click') (Fig. 4).
3 To set the comb to the desired setting, press
the setting selector (1) and slide the comb to
the desired hair length setting (2) (Fig. 5).
The setting indications on the comb show the
,
selected setting.
4 Put the adapter into the wall socket.
5 Switch on the appliance.
6 Move the appliance through the hair slowly.
- To clip in the most effective way, move the
appliance against the direction of hair growth.
- Since all hair does not grow in the same
direction, you need to move the appliance in
different directions (upward, downward or
across) (Fig. 6).
- Make sure that the flat part of the comb is
always fully in contact with the scalp to obtain
an even result.
- Make overlapping passes over the head to
ensure that you cut all the hair that needs to
be cut.
- To achieve a good result with curly, sparse or
long hair, use a hand comb to guide the hair
towards the appliance.
7 Regularly remove cut hair from the comb.
If a lot of hair has accumulated in the comb,
remove the comb from the appliance and blow
and/or shake the hair out of it.
Contouring without comb
You can use the appliance without comb to clip
hair very close to the skin (0.6mm) or to contour
the neckline and the area around the ears.
Be careful when you clip without comb because
the cutting element removes every hair it
touches.
1 Pull the comb off the appliance (Fig. 7).
2 Before you start to contour the hairline
around the ears, comb the hair ends over the
ears.
3 Tilt the appliance in such a way that only one
edge of the cutting element touches the hair
ends when you shape the contours around
the ears (Fig. 8).
Only cut the hair ends. The hairline should be close
to the ear.
