CUTTING WITH GUIDE COMBS
Depending on the type of cut desired, the appliance can be used with or without a guide comb. There are
two sets of combs: one for use with the ceramic blades and the other for use with the blades for finishing,
trimming and cutting beards.
Each set of combs can be used to achieve the following lengths:
• Comb n° 4, size 12.8 mm (fig.1 - ref.14 and 19)
• Comb n° 3, size 10 mm (fig.1 - ref.15 and 20)
• Comb n° 2, size 6.8 mm (fig.1 - ref.16 and 21)
• Comb n° 1, size 4 mm (fig.1 - ref.17 and 22)
• Comb n° 0, size 2 mm (fig.1 - ref.18 and 23)
• Blending comb (fig.1 - ref.24)
• Without guide comb: 0.6 mm
USING THE VARIOUS BLADES

STYLING TIPS
SHORT STYLES
• Choose the right guide comb for the desired length. We advise you begin with a longer comb and then
move on to a shorter one later if desired.
• Cut hair while dry, using short strokes and progressing slowly.
• Comb the hair as you proceed in order to remove cut hair and check the results.
• NECK: Starting from the midpoint of the bottom of the neck (fig.4) work upwards using short strokes
towards the middle of the head (fig.5), gradually working outwards to the sides.
• SIDES: We advise you use a shorter guide comb for the sides, working in the same way as with the neck.
To finish sideburns and the area around the ears, use the appliance without a guide comb, holding it
turned downwards.
