SHORT LENGTH SELECTION DIAL – DIAGRAM 6
The short length adjustment dial can be adjusted to give you 5 different cutting lengths (0.8-
2mm) simply by turning the wheel to the desired setting. Turn the wheel anti-clockwise for
longer length and clockwise for shorter length.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR HAIR CUTTING
NOTE: For even cutting, allow the guide comb/blade to cut its way through the hair. Do not
force it through quickly. If you are cutting for the first time, start with the maximum guide
comb.
STEP 1 – Nape of the neck – DIAGRAM 1
Use 3mm or 6mm guide comb.
Hold the clipper with the blade teeth pointing upwards. Begin starting at the centre of the
head at the base of the neck.
Slowly lift the clipper, working upwards and outwards through the hair, trimming just a
little at a time.
STEP 2 – Back and side of the head – DIAGRAM 2
With the 9mm or 12mm guide comb attached, cut the hair at the back of the head.
STEP 3 – Side of the head – DIAGRAM 3
With the 9mm or 12mm guide comb attached, trim sideburns.
Then change to the longer 20mm guide comb and continue to cut to the top of the head.
STEP 4 – Top of the head – DIAGRAM 4
Attache the 25-40mm guide comb, cut hair on top of the head against the direction in
which the hair normally grows.
For longer hair on top, use without a guide comb. Lift the hair on top of the head with a
small hand comb. Cut over the hand comb with the hair lifted or hold the hair between the
fingers to lift it and cut it to the desired length.
Always work from the back of the head.
STEP 5 – The finishing touches – DIAGRAM 5
Use the clipper without an attachment comb for close trimming around the base and sides
of the neck.
To produce a clean straight line at the sideburns, reverse the hair clipper. Place the
reversed clipper at right angles to the head, tips of the blades lightly touching the skin and
then work downwards.
