Usage Tips

Giving a Comfortable,
Even Cut
Allow the clipper to cut through the hair
without moving it too quickly. Moving the
clipper too quickly may create a pulling
sensation.
Use short strokes when cutting, and initially
use the longest trimming guide. You can
always use a closer trimming guide later if
you want a closer cut.
How to Give a Haircut
1. Start at the back of the head. Holding the
clipper as shown, lightly stroke upward
making sure you
are taking off
the desired
amount of hair.
Work your way
up to the crown
of the head in
layers. When
completed,
comb the area
to remove any
loose hair and to determine whether you
need any further cutting.
2. Repeat the same procedure for each side
of the head. Make sure the length of the
hair is trimmed to the same length on
both sides of the head.
3. To cut the hair
at the top of the
head, hold the
hair between
your fingers and
cut a small
amount at a
time. Cut from
the front to the
back.

4. If you have the HC-920, HC-921, HC-930,
or HC-8017 remove the trimming guide
and replace with either the left or right
ear guide. The shorter guide teeth are
designed to be toward the ear. Move the
clipper from the front of the head to the
back. This creates a tapered effect around
the ears and back of the neck.
To trim around the ears and short hairs
at the nape of the neck with the HC-810
and HC-815, you must remove the trim-
ming guide.
Angle the clip-
per and lightly
stroke around
each ear to the
back of the
neck. Be careful
not to touch the
ears or to press
too hard.
5. The final trim
can be made with the hair clipper or the
included scissors. Make sure to check
over the entire head for any uneven
areas. For styled hair or giving quick
trims, you may prefer using your hair
clipper without the trimming guide.
6. The adjustable taper control lever allows
you to gradually change the closeness of
your cut,
either with
or without a
trimming
guide. When
the lever is
fully forward
the blades
will give you the closest cut. Moving the
lever gradually backward increases the
cut length.
Very short styles
1. Using the 1/2" (12mm) trimming guide,
hold the comb
flat against the
head and move
the hair clipper
from the back of
the neck to the
crown of the
head.
2. Cut in a similar
manner from
the side to the
top of the head. Then cut from the front
to the crown of the head.
3. If a "Flat Top" style is desired, then
remove the trimming guide and use the
barber's comb. Trim a little at a time until
a flat look is achieved.
Trimming Beards &
Mustaches
1. Comb your
beard in the
direction it
grows.
2. Determine the
length you want
the beard to
remain, and fit
the appropriate
trimming guide.
Remember the 1/8" (3mm) guide will
give you the shortest beard while the
1/2" (12mm) or 1" (25mm) will give you
the longest. If you want a longer beard
you can use the barber's comb as a trim-
ming guide.
3. Start trimming under your chin and work
toward your ear and beard line. Cut in
different directions for a uniform trim.
4. Lightly stroke the edge of your mustache
in a downward movement.
