4Make sure that the flat part of the comb attachment is always fully in contact with the scalp to obtain an even cutting result (fig. 6).
5Pass the clipper slowly over the crown from different directions to achieve an even cutting result.
6Make overlapping passes over the head to ensure that the clipper catches all the hairs that need to be cut.
7Comb the hair in the direction of hair growth from time to time so that the clipper can catch the hair more easily.
8To achieve a good result with curly, sparse or long hair, you can use a comb to guide the hair towards the clipper.
BWe advise you to regularly remove clipped hair from the comb while clipping.
Graduation
The Philishave hair clipper not only allows you to cut the hair evenly at the same length all over the head, it also enables you to achieve a smooth transition from longer hair on top of the head to shorter hair on the back and sides of the head.
1Start clipping at the setting for maximum hair length (i.e. position 41 mm for HQC333 / 21 mm for HQC222).
2Then choose a shorter setting and cut the hair on all parts of the head except the top, where you want the hair to be longer.
3You can repeat this procedure until the hair on every part of the head has the desired length.
Precise contouring without comb attachment
You can use the clipper without comb attachment to contour the neckline and the area around the ears.
Be careful when you are clipping without comb attachment, for the clipper will remove every hair it touches.
1Remove the comb attachment by pulling it off the clipper.
2Before contouring the hairline round the ears, comb the hair ends over the ear.
3Bend the person's ear to get it out of the way.
4Tilt the clipper in such a way that only one edge of the cutting element touches the hair ends (fig. 8).
5Only cut the hair ends. The hairline should be close to the ear (fig. 9).
6To contour the nape hairline and the sideburns, turn the clipper and make downward strokes (fig. 10).
7Move slowly and smoothly.
8Just follow the natural hairline (fig. 11).
Cutting over styling comb or fingers
This technique can be used to obtain hair lengths over 41 mm ( HQC333) and 21 mm (HQC222). Bear in mind that this technique is difficult to master and should only be applied by experienced users.
