BLADE ALIGNMENT:
see illustration no. 2.1
•
Your clipperswere carefully examined to
ensure that the blades were oiled and aligned
before leaving our factory.
•
Blades must be realigned if they have been
re moved for cleaning or replacement.
•
To realign the blades, simply match the
uper and bottom blades leeth up, point for
point. (End of top blade teeth should be
approximately 1.2mm back from bottom
blade. Compare your clipper blades with the
sketch.)
•
If blade alignment is incorrect, add a lew
drops of oil to the blades, turn clipper on for
a few moments, turn off and unplug. Loosen
screws slightly and adjust. Tighten screws
after blade is aligned.
OIL:
see illustration no. 2.2
•
To maintain your clipper in peak condition,
the blades should be oiled every few haircuts.
Do not use hair oil, grease, oil mixed with
kerosene ore any solvent. As the solvent will
evaporale and leave the thick oil which may
down the blades motion.
BLADE LEVER:
see illustration no. 2.3
•
The lever conveniently located near your
thumb (if you are right-handed) so it can
easily be adjusted while the clipper is in your
hand.
•
The lever adds versatility to your clipper
by allowing you to gradually change the
closeness of your cut without an attachment
comb.
•
When the lever is in the uppermost position,
the blades will give you the closest cut and
leave the hair very short. Pushing the lever
downward gradually increases the cutting
length.
2
•
In ist lowest position, the lever will leave the
hair approximately the same length as a #1
comb.
•
The lever will also extend the use of your
blades since a different cutting edge is used in
each setting.
•
In addition, if extremely heavy hair cutting has
jammed the blades, it will help you remove
hair that has become wedged between the
two blades without removing the blades.
•
While the clipper is running, rapidly move the
lever from »close cut« to »longer cut« a couple
of times. Doing this each time after you have
finished using your clipper will help to keep
the blades clear of cut hair. If your clipper
stops cutting and this does not help, your
cutting blades are dulled. Replace them with
new blades.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR HAIR CUTTING
Before starting the hair cut:
1. Inspect the clipper, making sure that it is free
of oil between the cutting blade teeth and
turn the unit on to distribute the oil and to
make sure it is running smoothly. Wipe off any
excess oil This should be done after each use.
While using the unit, untwist the cord from
time to avoid tangling.
2. Seat the person so their head is approximately
at your eye level. This allows ease of visibility
while cutting and a relaxed control of the unit.
3. Before cutting always first comb the hair so it
is tangle free as it is naturally worn.
4. Place a towel around the neck and shoulders
of the person having the haircut.
REMINDERS
•
Cut the hair in a relaxed and slow manner. Use
short strokes only to work gradually over the
entire head.
•
Always take off a little hair at time, you can
always trim off additionat hair later.
•
As you work, comb the hair frequently back
into the style to which you are cutting.
•
When cutting with this hair clipper it is better
to leave the hair dry, not wet. With the hair
dry, it is much easier to control the amount of
hair, being cut.
BEGINNING THE HAIRCUT
Cutting hair requires practice so it is always better
to leave the hair longer for the first few haircuts
until you become used to the length to which
each comb attachment cuts the hair.
ATTACHMENT COMB (see illustration no. 3)
•
Attachment Comb #1 leaves 3mm length.
•
Attachment Comb #2 leaves 6mm length.
•
Attachment Comb #3 leaves 9mm length.
•
Attachment Comb #4 leaves 12mm length.
Each como attachment is marked accordingly on
its outside middle surface.
•
To attach a comb, hold it with its teeth
upward and slide it onto and along the clipper
blade unlit the front of the comb limaty seals
against the clipper blade.
•
To remove the comb, simply pull the comb
attachment cutter to cut its way throught
the hair. Do not force it through quickly. Also
remember to comb the hair frequently to
remove trimmed hair and to check foruneven
strands.

towards you. Continue to cut the back area
from the bottom of the neck upwards to the
top of the ears.
