Preparing for use
.
Clipping with comb attachment
1
Before you start clipping, make sure the head
of the person whose hair you are cutting is at
the same level as your chest (fig. 5).
2
To get the best results, use the hair clipper
only on dry hair. Do not use it on freshly
washed hair.
3
First comb the hair into the direction of hair
growth.
4
Always move the clipper against the direction
of hair growth, otherwise it will not cut the
hair properly (fig. 6).
5
Move the clipper through the hair slowly.
Using the appliance
.
Clipping with comb attachment
1
Slide the comb attachment onto the rails on
the appliance until you hear a click (fig. 7).
2
Make sure that the arms of the comb
attachment have been properly slid onto the
rails on both sides.
3
Choose the appropriate hair length setting
(fig. 8).
Press the adjustment button on the back of the
appliance and slide the comb attachment to the
desired position.
The clipper has 7 different hair length settings:
-
3 mm
-
6 mm
-
9 mm
- 12 mm
- 15 mm
- 18 mm
- 21 mm
Start at the setting for maximum hair length
(21 mm) to familiarise yourself with the clipper.
4
Make sure that the flat part of the comb
attachment is always fully in contact with the
scalp to obtain an even cutting result.
5
Pass the clipper slowly over the crown from
different directions to achieve an even cutting
result.
6
Make overlapping passes over the head to
ensure that the clipper catches all the hairs
that need to be cut.
7
Comb the hair in the direction of hair growth
from time to time so that the clipper can
catch the hair more easily.
8
To achieve a good result with curly, sparse or
long hair, you can use a comb to guide the
hair towards the clipper.
9
We advise you to regularly remove clipped
hair from the comb while clipping.
Graduation
The Philips hair clipper not only allows you to cut
the hair evenly at the same length all over the
head, it also enables you to achieve a smooth
transition from longer hair on top of the head to
shorter hair on the back and sides of the head.
1
Start clipping at the setting for maximum hair
length (i.e. position 21 mm).
2
Then choose a shorter setting and cut the hair
on all parts of the head except the top, where
you want the hair to be longer.

3
You can repeat this procedure until the hair
on every part of the head has the desired
length.
Precise contouring without comb
attachment
You can use the clipper without comb attachment
to contour the neckline and the area around the
ears.
Be careful when you are clipping without comb
attachment, for the clipper will remove every hair it
touches.
1
Remove the comb attachment by pulling it off
the clipper.
2
Before contouring the hairline round the ears,
comb the hair ends over the ear.
3
Bend the person's ear to get it out of the way.
4
Tilt the clipper in such a way that only one
edge of the cutting element touches the hair
ends (fig. 9).
5
Only cut the hair ends. The hairline should be
close to the ear (fig. 10).
6
To contour the nape hairline and the
sideburns, turn the clipper and make
downward strokes (fig. 11).
7
Move slowly and smoothly.
8
Just follow the natural hairline (fig. 12).
Cutting over styling comb or fingers
This technique can be used to obtain hair lengths
over 21 mm. Bear in mind that this technique is
difficult to master and should only be applied by
experienced users.
1
Remove the comb attachment.
2
Comb a small section of hair upwards. Lift the
hair with a styling comb or hold it between
your fingers until only the length that needs to
be cut sticks out (fig. 13).
3
Cut the hair protruding from the comb or
fingers (fig. 14).
4
Continue this procedure and comb frequently
to remove cut hair and to check for unevenly
cut sections.
Cleaning
.
Clean the appliance every time you have used it.
Do not use abrasives, scourers or liquids such as
alcohol, petrol or acetone to clean the appliance.
1
Make sure the appliance is switched off and
disconnected from the mains before you start
cleaning it.
2
Remove the comb attachment (fig. 15).
3
Push the middle part of the cutting unit
