Using Your Kambrook Hair Clipper, Outlining

Using Your Kambrook Hair Clipper

1.Place a towel around the neck of the person to prevent hair from falling down inside the collar.

2.Position the person in a chair so that his/her head is at your eye level.

3.Comb the hair to remove all the tangles, hold the clipper in a relaxed, comfortable grip to help you maintain accurate cutting control.

4.Before using the clipper ensure that the blades are free of any hair clippings and the blades are well oiled. (See Maintaining Your Kambrook Clipper on page 6)

Medium to Long Cut (with attachment combs)

A-1 A-2 A-3 A-4

1.Start by combing the hair in its natural direction.

2.Place the largest attachment comb onto the hair clipper and start by trimming the sides from the bottom upwards. Hold the hair clipper lightly against the hair with the teeth of the attachment comb pointing up but flat against the head. Slowly lift the hair clipper up and outward through the hair, cutting only a small amount at a time. (Diagram A-1)

3.Repeat around sides and back of head. (Diagram A–2 & A–3)

4.If you desire shorter hair, either change to a lower number attachment comb or apply more pressure and less lift away from head with the present attachment comb.

5.For the top of the head, you will give a fairly short cut if you use the #4 attachment comb.With the teeth flat against the head, slowly start trimming from the front to the back. (Diagram A-4)

Note:The entire procedure requires practice, and it is always better to leave the hair longer in the first few haircuts.

4.For the back of the neck and side burns, hold the clipper up side down, and holding it against the skin at the length desired, move downwards.
