Trimming with comb tips and tricks
The click-on stubble combs allow you to trim hair
to different lengths. This appliance comes with 4
click-on stubble combs: 5mm, 3mm, 2mm, 1mm.
Start with the 5mm comb to acquire practice with
this appliance. The indication on each comb
corresponds to the hair length in millimeters.

stubble comb point in the direction in which
you move the appliance.
- Make sure that the flat part of the comb is
always in full contact with the skin to obtain an
even trimming result (Fig. 15).

need to move the appliance in different
directions as well (upward, downward or
across).
- Trimming is easier when the skin and hair are
dry.
