• Turn the hair clippers on for a few seconds and clean the excess oil off with a cloth.
PRECISION CUT
• Using the cutting knob (6) you will get an accurate cut of 0,5-1,2-1,9 and 2,5 mm. Slide the knob to select
the desired cutting length.
CUTTING GUIDES
• The hair clipper is equipped with four cutting guides which allow for an accurate height of cut in four
different lengths (3-6-9 and 12 mm).
• To insert the chosen guide, place it in the blade and press it to adjust in both sides of the appliance.
BEGINNING THE CUT
• Relax and work slowly. Make short cuts. Do not go on to the final cut of one side or the back straight
away. Work gradually and all over the head.
• It is better to cut a little each time to be able to cut some more later on.
• While you are working and before you begin, comb the hair frequently to the chosen style.
• It is better to cut the hair when it is dry, not wet. It is easier to see and control the amount of hair you
are cutting.
• The first time you use the appliance it is advisable to cut a small portion of hair until you get used to
the different lengths of the guides. At first use the guide which allows the longer cutting length (guide
of 12 mm). With a little practice you will soon choose the most adequate guide for the length you wish
to have.
• After combing your hair following its natural direction, proceed as follows to obtain a perfect hair cut.
First step: NAPE
• Place the guide in around 3 mm cutting position. Start cutting at the centre of the nape and at the
bottom of the neck. Hold the hair clippers softly against the head with the teeth of the guide pointing
upwards.
• Go up gradually, working your way upwards and outwards, just cutting a little hair at a time. When
cutting raise the head of the clippers towards you little by little. Continue cutting at the back of the
head from the base of nape to the area just above the ears (Zone
“A”
of the photo 1).
Second step: THE BACK OF THE HEAD
• Put in one of the two guides corresponding to the desired length of 6 or 9 mm and cut the area at the
back of the head, identified as zone
“B”
in the photo 2.
Third step: SIDES
• Using the 3 or 6 mm cutting guides, start cutting the side burns and the area close to the ears. Next, use
the guide corresponding to the cutting length 9 or 12 mm to go on cutting the hair at the top of the
head (photo 3).
Fourth step: The top of the head
• Put in the guide corresponding to the longest cutting length (12 mm) and start cutting from the crown
forwards against the growth of the hair (photo 4). In some cases you will have to cut from the front
backwards.
• To leave your hair longer use a comb to lift the hair at the back of the head and cut above the comb; or
else hold the lock of hair between your fingers and cut off the to the desired length.
• Always working your way from the back of the head gradually cut the hair, shorter each time by
reducing the space between the comb or your fingers, to the hair. Frequently comb your hair to check
for any differences in its length and to eliminate the hair which has already been cut.
Fifth step: THE FINAL TOUCHES
• Do not use any guides for the final touches.
• To get an exact hair cut and the side burns, nape and the area around the ears with straight lines, turn
the hair clippers round and place them at a straight angle with your head so the blade is in slight contact
with the skin, and shave downwards (photo 5). This way you will get a perfect finish, as if shaving.
BEARD
• Before placing a smaller cutting guide, remember you always must begin with the higher cutting guide
(12 mm).
