Tips & tricks
- To clip in the most eective way, move the
appliance against the direction of hair growth.
- Since hair grows in dierent directions, you
need to move the appliance in dierent
directions (upwards, downwards or across).
- Make overlapping passes over the head to
ensure that the appliance catches all hairs that
need to be cut.
- Make sure that the at part of the hair clipping
comb is fully in contact with the scalp to obtain
an even clipping result.
- If you wish to shape contours, tilt the appliance.
- Regularly remove cut hair from the hair clipping
comb. If a lot of hair has accumulated in the
comb, remove it from the appliance and blow
and/or shake the hair out of it.
Detaching and attaching click-on combs
1 To detach a comb from the cutting element,
push the hook at the back of the comb
upwards, then unhook it at the front (Fig. 4).
2 To attach a comb onto the cutting element,
hook it onto the front of the cutting element
and push it down at the back (‚click‘) (Fig. 5).
Preparing for use
Use the adjustment lever on the left side of the
appliance to set the desired hair length. Move the
adjustment lever upwards to reduce the cutting
length and move it downwards to increase the
cutting length. When you hear a click, you have
reached the next length setting (Fig. 6).
Fine adjustment
You can reduce the cutting length manually to
clip even closer to the skin, but make sure that
the cutter does not emerge above the guard to
avoid cutting yourself.
1 To reduce the cutting length manually, loosen
the screws by turning the screwdriver a quarter
turn (Fig. 7).
Make sure that you only loosen the screws
instead of completely unscrewing them.
2 Push the guard upwards until it is at the
required length setting (Fig. 8).
3 Tighten the screws.
Note: When you loosen or tighten the screws,
the guard can move. To keep it in position, hold
the sides of the guard in place while you tighten
the screws (Fig. 9).
4 The cutter should not emerge above the guard.
To check this, switch on the appliance and
study the cutter and guard closely, preferably
from the back. If the cutter emerges above the
guard, adjust it as described above.
