If you want hair to be even shorter:
A) Apply more pressure to
the head with the comb
attachment that is in place.
This takes a little practice, of
course. OR B) Just switch to
a shorter comb attachment.
Remember, it’s better to
leave too much hair than too
little. For longer hair on top,
use the barber comb and lift
hair on the top of the head,
cutting over the comb. Or
hold the hair between the
fingers and cut to desired
length. Always working from the front to
the back of the head, gradually cut the hair
shorter by reducing the space between the
comb or fingers and the head. Comb often
to check for uneven strands and to get rid of
trimmed hair.
OUTLINING
Outlining requires no attach-
ments. Comb hair into the
desired style. Position the
clipper between the sideburns
and the ear (see illustration),
making sure the corner edge of
the blade is against the hairline.
With the outline of the hair as
your guide, slowly move the
clipper over, around and behind
the ears. For the back of the
neck and the sideburns, hold the clipper
upside down (see illustration) and, holding it
against the skin at the length desired, move
the clipper downward.

THE CONAIR GUIDE
TO CUTTING HAIR AT HOME
Before you start:
1. Inspect your clipper. Make sure it’s free of hair
and dirt, properly oiled, and running smoothly.
2. Place a towel around the neck of the person
whose hair is being cut.
3. Seat the person so that his or her head is at
your eye level. This gives you greater visibility
and control.
4. First, comb hair until it’s tangle free. Then
hold clipper in a comfortable grip. Now you’re
ready to cut.
MEDIUM TO LONG CUT
To begin with, cut only a small amount of hair until
you become used to the length each attachment
leaves the hair. Try the longest attachment on the
clipper first. If you want a shorter cut, you can
then use shorter combs.
• Short comb attachment (number 1) cuts hair
to 1/8" (3mm).
• Medium-Short comb attachment (number 2)
cuts hair to 1/4" (6mm).
• Medium-Long comb attachment (number 3)
cuts hair to 3/8" (9.5mm).
• Long comb attachment (number 4) cuts hair
to 1/2" (12.5mm).
• Long comb attachment (number 5) cuts hair
to 5/8" (16mm).
• Long comb attachment (number 6) cuts hair
to 3/4" (19mm).
• Long comb attachment (number 7) cuts hair
to 7/8" (22mm).
• Long comb attachment (number 8) cuts hair
to 1" (25mm).

SPECIAL OIL
To maintain the blades of your Conair
®
clipper
in peak condition, oil them after every three
or four haircuts. Gently place a few drops
of oil on the teeth of the blades, using the
special Conair
oil included with your set. Turn
the clipper on for a minute, then turn off. This
light, natural oil was formulated specifically
for the Conair
®
high-speed clipper. Be cause it
is the right oil to use, it will not slow down the
blades. Never use any other product; there is
no substitute for Conair oil.
• Left ear comb attachment lightly tapers over
left ear.
• Right ear comb attachment lightly tapers over
right ear.
Attach combs by holding
them teeth up, then snap-
ping onto the bottom of the
clipper blade.
To remove comb attach-
ments, place index finger
and thumb as illustrated;
then pull out and up.
NOTE: Never push or shove the clipper
through the hair to make it move more quick-
ly. Professional experience shows that the
clipper works most efficiently when it cuts
through the hair at its own speed.
To begin cutting hair:
1. The hair should be combed in its natural
direction.
2. Using the largest comb
attachment, trim sides
from the bottom upward.
Hold clipper lightly against
the hair with teeth of the
comb attachment pointing
up ward, yet flat against
the head. Gradually lift
the clipper upward and
outward through the hair,
trimming just a little at a
time.
Repeat around sides and
back of head.
STOP. COMB. CHECK.
For best results, do as the professionals do:
Comb hair often, and check clipping results
as you comb. This way you avoid uneven
sides, bangs, neckline, etc.
SHORT CUTS TO PERFECT
FLATTOPS, CREW CUTS, ETC.
Always cut from the back of the neck to the
crown, using the longest comb setting.
Hold the comb attachment flat against the
head and slowly move the clipper up through
the hair. Use the same technique for the
sides, cutting from the bottom to the upper
side of the head.
For the front to the crown, cut the hair
against the direction in which it grows. Then
even it up with the sides.
For a flattop, use the flat comb, not the comb
attachment. Just cut hair on top of the head
over flat comb.
To taper hair down to the neckline, use comb
attachment #1. Comb hair and check for
uneven spots. Outline sideburns and neck
areas (see “Outlining”).
