THIS PROCESS REQUIRES PRACTICE, AND IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO START BY
LEAVING HAIR LONGER THAN DESIRED. START CUTTING WITH THE LONGER CLIPPER
GUIDES.
STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS
STEP 1 - BACK OF NECK
• Start with clipper guide #1 or #2, as desired.
• Hold the clipper comfortably in your hand and place it lightly against your head with the teeth
of the comb pointing up.
• Lift the clipper by pointing it up and outward. Cut a little at a time.
• As you cut, gradually lift the unit with the Cutting Blades (1) pointing outward.
• Continue cutting the back of the neck area, from the nape to the top of the ears.
STEP 2 - BACK OF HEAD
• Switch to a longer attachment, e.g. clipper guides #3 or #4, and cut the hair on the back of the
head.
STEP 3 - SIDES
• To cut hair around the ears, switch to a shorter clipper guide (#1).
• Then, switch to clipper guides #2 or #3, and continue cutting the top of your head. Remove
the clipper guide for cut lengths under 1/8".
STEP 4 - TOP OF HEAD
• Using clipper guides #4 or #5, cut the hair on top of head from back to front, against the
direction hair normally grows. In some cases, you may have to cut the opposite direction, e.g.
front to back.
• If hair is too long, use the comb that came with the appliance to lift the hair.
• Cut with the hair up or hold the hair between your fingers to lift it to the desired length. Always
start from the back. You can cut your hair shorter gradually by holding the clipper guide closer
to your head.
• Comb with the barber's comb to remove the cut hair and check for uneven strands. If needed,
use scissors to cut stray hairs.
