USING THE ATTACHMENT COMBS
(Some models do not have combs and sizes will vary by kit)
You can set the blades for a longer cut by using any of the attachment combs made
for your Andis clipper. The combs mount easily; simply slip the cutter blade teeth
into comb and snap the comb down. To remove, simply snap off (Figures A & B).
These attachment combs guide hair into the blades and give you precise control of
hair lengths. The length of trim is indicated on the attachment comb. Use the chart
below to find the approximate lengths of cut. Different blade angles in relation to the
skin, thickness and texture of the hair will vary the cutting length.
