, INSTRUCTIONS FOR CUTTING HAIR
• For even cutting, allow the comb attachment/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 comb attachment.
, STEP 1 – Nape of the neck
• Use 3mm or 7mm 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 of the head
• With the 12mm or 18mm guide comb attached, cut the hair at the back of
the head.
, STEP 3 – Side of the head
• With the 3mm or 7mm guide comb attached, trim sideburns. Then change to
the longer 9mm guide comb and continue to cut the top of the head.
, STEP 4 – Top of the head
• Use the longer length comb attachment and set it to 18mm or 25mm then
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
• 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.
, SHORT TAPERED STYLES – "FLAT TOPS" & SHORT CUTS
• Starting with the longest guide comb attached (25mm), cut from the back of
the neck to the crown. Hold the guide comb flat against the head and slowly
move the clipper through the hair.
• Use the same procedure from the lower side to the upper side of the head.
