CLEANING
USING THE ATTACHMENTS:
Plastic combs for attachment to clippers and trimmer blades are included with some kits. This plastic comb serves
as a clipping guide so that the hair is not clipped short. The comb attachment is grooved to fit snugly over the
blades.
When attaching the comb to the clipper or trimmer, slide the comb down firmly as far as it will go. Make sure the
comb is seated securely against the lower blade. To disengage the comb, pull and slide the comb upward until it is
off the clipper or trimmer.
Replacement combs are not covered under warranty.

upright when cleaning blades with the appliance plugged in. Listen for a change in the hum of the motor. As the
build-up is removed, the clean blade runs faster and at a higher pitch. When the pitch stabilizes (between 30 to
60 seconds), turn «OFF» (O) the appliance and unplug. Remove from the cleaning solution and, while holding the
appliance with the blade end facing down, wipe the blades dry with a clean, dry cloth. Re-oil blades.
Always unplug the appliance when carrying out other cleaning and do not immerse the appliance body, charging
stand, adapter, power cord or plug in water or any other liquid.
