Blade Lever (Adjustable Taper Control)
• The lever is conveniently located near your thumb (if you’re 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 gradu-
ally 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.
• In its lowest position, the lever will leave the hair approximately
1/8 inch length.
• 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.
Attachment Comb
(see below)
• Attachment Comb #1 leaves 1/8 inch (3mm) hair length
• Attachment Comb #2 leaves 1/4 inch (6mm) hair length
• Attachment Comb #3 leaves 3/8 inch (9mm) hair length
• Attachment Comb #4 leaves 1/2 inch (12mm) hair length
• Left Ear Taper Attachment Comb
• Right Ear Taper Attachment Comb
Each comb attachment is marked accordingly on its outside middle
surface and color coded.
• To attach a comb, hold it with its teeth upward and slide it onto
and along the clipper blade until the front of the comb firmly sits
against the clipper blade.
• To remove the comb, simply pull the comb upward and away from
the clipper blade.
• For even cutting, allow the comb attachment cutter to cut its way
through the hair. Do not force it through quickly. Also remember
to comb the hair frequently to remove trimmed hair and to check
for uneven strands.
