5. THE FINISHING TOUCH
For long hair (locks)
Fringes
Beards and moustaches
• Finishing the cut without attachment comb for closing trimming around the
base of neck, sides and sideboards.
• For straight lines on sideboards and around the ears, hold the cutter at
right angles to the head, upside down, with the blades in contact with the
skin, and move it downward.
• Remove the attachment comb from the blades, and
comb and untangle the hair.
• Part the hair along a line from ear to ear, holding the front
with pegs to keep it out of the way (Fig. 5).
• Part the back part of the hair horizontally into three:
secure the upper layers with pegs (Fig.6).
• Begin cutting the lower layer, using the comb to mark the
length of hair, cutting with the scissors or the clipper,
below the comb in all cases.
• When this layer is cut, repeat the process with the other
two.
• To cut the front, part the hair in the usual place and repeat
the operation described for the back. The hair must be
well combed at all times.
• Dampen the fringe and make a horizontal parting on the top of the head to
define the area to be cut.
• Comb the fringe downwards and separate it horizontally into 2 or 3 layers.
• Secure the upper layer or layers with pegs.
• Comb the bottom layer and hold it down with the fingers, leaving the length
to be cut below your fingers.
• Cut the excess with the scissors, below the fingers at all times. Repeat the
process with the other layers.
• Fit the required guide into the cutter. We suggest that you begin with the
longest and change to shorter guides if you require.
• Start below the chin, moving upward and outward.
• Comb the moustache downward and cut with the scissors.

To clean
Maintenance
SPECIFICATIONS
• Make sure that the cutter is switched off and unplugged before cleaning.
• Clean the outside with a dry cloth.
• Use the brush included to clean the guides and blades.
• Should the cutter block, start it and move the lever a couple of times from
the top to the bottom setting.
• If still blocked, loosen the screws in the back of the blades and clean the
blades.
• Follow the procedure in the section on MAINTENANCE to refit and realign
the blades.
• Remember to place a few drops of oil on the blades after each use.
• Your clippers were carefully examined to ensure
that the blades were oiled and aligned before
leaving our factory.
• Blades must be realigned if they have been
removed for cleaning or replacement.
• To realign the blades, simply match the upper
and bottom blades teeth 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 few 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.
• 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 or any solvent. As the solvent will
evaporate and leave the thick oil which may slow
down the blades motion.
