LUBRIFICATION
• For the hair clipper to work correctly it is absolutely necessary to lubricate the blades with
oil before each use.
• Carefully pour a few drops of oil, which is provided, between the teeth of the blade, or if you
have run out, with another high quality, acid free oil.
• Turn the hair clipper on for a few seconds and clean the excess oil off with a cloth.
CUTTING GUIDES
• The hair clipper is equipped with four cutting guides which allow for a accurate height of cut in
four different lengths (3-6-9 and 12 mm.)
• To assemble the chosen guide place it in the blade and press the bottom flange of the guide to
be inserted.
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
• Set the guide to the position corresponding to lowest length of cut (3 mm). 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 figure).
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 figure.
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.
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. 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.
