3The setting selected will appear in the window to the left of the Hair Length Selector (fig. 20).
When you are clipping for the first time, start at the maximum clipping length setting (#9) to familiarize yourself with the appliance and prevent accidentally trimming hairs too short. As you become familiar with the settings, adjust the Hair Length Selector to desired trimming length. Selector will ‘click’ into position at each setting.

4Make sure that the flat part of the comb is always in full contact with the scalp to obtain an even result (fig.
5Move the appliance slowly over the crown from different directions to achieve an even result (fig. 23).
6Always move the appliance against the direction of hair growth.
7Make overlapping passes over the head to ensure that all hair that should be cut has been cut.
8Turn the Groomer off and remove the hair comb often to blow and/or shake out hair that has accumulated.
◗REMEMBER:You must reset the hair length selector back to your desired setting every time you replace the hair clipping comb on the appliance.
Contouring without the hair clipping comb attachment
1Remove the hair comb by pressing and sliding the Hair Length Selector upwards
(fig. 24).
Be careful when you are clipping without comb attachment as when the appliance is turned on it will trim every hair it touches.
2Tilt the appliance in such a way that only one edge of the trimming attachment touches the hair ends when you shape the contours around the ears (fig. 25).
3To contour the nape of the neck or hairline, turn the appliance and hold it with the trimming attachment pointing downwards (fig. 26).
4To contour the sideburns, turn the appliance and hold it with the trimming attachment pointing downwards (fig. 27).
