BLADE LEVER  
• Close supervision is necessary when this  
appliance is used by, on, or near children or  
people with reduced physical, sensory or  
mental capabilities.  
• The lever is conveniently located above the on/  
off switch so it can easily be adjusted while the  
clipper is in your hand.  
• The lever adds versatility to the clipper by  
allowing a gradual change to the length of a  
cut without an attachment comb.  
• When the lever is in the uppermost position, the  
blades will give the closest cut leaving the hair  
very short. Pushing the lever gradually downward  
increases the cutting length.  
• This appliance is not intended for use by  
persons (including children) with reduced  
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack  
of experience and knowledge, unless they have  
been given supervision or instruction concerning  
use of the appliance by a person responsible  
for their safety.  
• In its lowest position, the lever will leave the hair  
approximately the same length as a #1 comb.  
• The lever will also extend the blade’s life  
as a longer cut requires less work from the blades.  
• While the clipper is running, move the Lever  
from “close cut” to “longer cut” a number of  
times. This will help keep cut hair away from the  
blades. If the clipper stops cutting, and the method  
above does not help, then the blades are blunt  
and need to be replaced.  
• Children should be supervised to ensure that  
they do not play with the appliance.  
• Never operate this appliance if it has a  
damaged cord or plug or if it has malfunctioned.  
• Keep the cord away from rough, sharp or  
heated surfaces.  
• Do not pull, twist, or wrap the cord around  
the appliance.  
• Never drop or insert any object into any  
opening in this appliance.  
• Before use, ensure that the blades are correctly  
aligned.  
• Do not place the appliance on any surface  
while it is operating.  
Close cut  
Longer cut  
• Do not use this appliance with a damaged or  
broken comb nor with teeth missing from  
the blades as injury may occur.  
INSTRUCTIONS FOR HAIR CUTTING  
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS  
Before using clippers to cut hair:  
When using electrical appliances, especially  
when children are present, basic safety  
precautions should always be followed,  
including the following:  
1. Inspect the clipper, making sure that it is free  
of oil between the cutting blade teeth. Switch  
on the unit to distribute the oil and to ensure  
that it is running smoothly. Wipe off any excess  
oil. This should be done after each use. Unwind  
and straighten the cord during use in order to  
avoid tangling.  
2. Ensure that the person that is going to have  
their hair cut is properly seated and that the  
hair to be cut is at eye level. This allows easy  
visibility while cutting and complete control of  
the clipper.  
To reduce the risk of death or injury by electric shock:  
• Unplug this appliance before cleaning.  
• Do not place or store the appliance where it  
can fall or be pulled into a bath or sink.  
• Do not use while bathing or showering.  
• Do not place in, or drop into, water or other  
liquid.  
• Do not reach for an appliance that has fallen  
into water. Unplug immediately.  
3. Before cutting hair, brush/comb the hair so that  
it is straight & tangle free.  
4. Place a towel around the neck and shoulders of  
the person having the haircut.  
To reduce the risk of burn, electric shock, fire or  
injury to persons:  
• Use this appliance only for its intended use as  
described in this manual. Do not use attachments  
not recommended by the manufacturer.  
• This appliance should never be left unattended  
when plugged in.  
REMINDERS  
• Cut the hair in a relaxed and slow manner.  
Use short strokes and work gradually over the  
entire head.  
• Always take off a little hair at a time; you can

always trim off additional hair later.  
STEP 2 - BACK OF THE HEAD  
• As you work, brush/comb the hair frequently  
back into the style to which you are cutting.  
• Make sure that hair is dry for using the clipper.  
1. Change to the next longest comb attachment  
9mm or 12mm and cut the hair on the back of  
the head (see diagram 2).  
BEGINNING THE HAIRCUT  
Cutting hair requires practice. When cutting for  
the first time, always use a longer comb and then  
change combs to cut hair shorter if required/  
preferred.  
ATTACHMENT COMB (see main diagram)  
• Attachment Comb #1 leaves 3mm hair length.  
• Attachment Comb #2 leaves 6mm hair length.  
• Attachment Comb #3 leaves 9mm hair length.  
• Attachment Comb #4 leaves 12mm hair length.  
DIAGRAM 2  
Each comb attachment is marked accordingly on  
the outside surface.  
STEP 3 - SIDE OF THE HEAD  
1. Change to one of the shorter combs 3mm or  
6mm, trim sideburns, i.e. the hair directly in  
front of the ears. Change to one of the longer  
combs, 9mm or 12mm, and continue to cut to  
the top of the head (see diagram 3).  
To attach a comb, hold comb with the teeth  
showing upward and slide it onto and along  
the clipper blade until the front of the comb  
firmly clicks into the clipper blade.  
To remove the comb, simply pull the comb  
upward and away from the clipper blade.  
STEP 1 - NAPE OF THE NECK  
1. Attach comb attachment 3mm or 6mm.  
2. Hold the clipper cutting edge pointing upwards  
and begin the haircut, starting in the middle of  
the base of the neck (see diagram 1).  
3. Hold the clipper comfortably in your hand and  
hold lightly against the head with the comb teeth  
pointing upward. Gradually and slowly lift the  
clipper working upwards and outwards, through  
the hair, trimming just a little at a time.  
4. As you cut, gradually lift the clipper head  
towards you. Continue to cut the back area from  
the bottom of the neck upwards to the top of  
the ears.  
DIAGRAM 3  
STEP 4 - TOP OF THE HEAD  
1. Using the 9mm or 12mm comb attachment, cut  
hair on the top of the head from back to front  
against the direction in which the hair normally  
grows (see diagram 4). In some cases, this may  
require the reverse, or cutting from front to back.  
2. Comb attachments 3mm or 6mm are used to  
achieve a close crew cut or short cut.  
3. For longer hair on top, lift the hair with a comb  
or hold the hair between your fingers and use  
the clippers to cut to the desired length (see  
diagrams 5 and 6). Always work from the back  
of the head. Hair can be cut shorter gradually  
by reducing the space between the comb/  
fingers, and the head. Comb out trimmed hair  
and check for uneven strands.

SHORT TAPERED STYLES  
‘FLAT TOPS’ AND SHORT CUTS  
1. Starting with the longest attachment comb  
(12mm), cut from the back of the neck to the  
crown. Hold the attachment comb flat against the  
head and slowly move the clipper through the  
hair, as shown (see diagram 8).  
2. Use the same procedure from the lower side to  
the upper side of the head, as illustrated. Cut the  
hair against the direction to which it grows from  
the front to the crown and then level the cut with  
the sides.  
DIAGRAM 5  
3. To give a ‘flat top’ look, the hair on top of the  
head must be cut over the top of a flat comb  
instead of using the attachment comb.  
4. Use closer cutting attachment combs to taper the  
hair down to the neckline as desired. Comb hair  
and check for uneven areas.  
DIAGRAM 6  
STEP 5 - THE FINISHING TOUCH  
1. Finally, use the blade without an attachment  
comb for close trimming around the base of  
the neck, the sides of the neck and the ears.  
2. To produce a clean straight line at the  
sideburns, reverse the clipper by turning the  
reverse side upwards (see diagram 7).  
DIAGRAM 8  
3. Place the clipper at a 90° angle towards the  
head, allow the tips of the blades to lightly  
touch the skin and work downwards. This  
method will give a cut as clean as that of a razor.
