Adjustable Lever
CLOSE
LONG
The adjustable lever adds versatility to your hair clipper by allowing you to gradually adjust the closeness of your cut without using an attachment comb.
When the lever is in the uppermost position, the blade will give you the closest cut. To increase the cutting length, push the lever downward gradually.
The lever extends the variety of lengths that can be achieved with each attachment comb, by using the varying cutting edges with each attachment comb.
Attachment COMBS
Attachment combs should be fitted to the hair clipper by placing the top edge (comb edge) of the attachment comb over the top of the cutting blades.
Gently lift the tab at the other end of the attachment comb and push down until a click is heard.
Attachment Comb #1
leaves hair approximately 3mm (1/8”) in length
Using Your Kambrook Hair
Clipper
Before Use
Before starting to cut your hair, follow these simple steps . . .
1.Make sure the blades are clean and well oiled. Unwind the cord to its full length, ensure that the on/off switch is in the OFF position, and plug the clipper into a 230/240V power outlet. You may then proceed to turn the power on.
2.Place a towel around the neck of the person who’s hair is being cut to prevent hair from falling inside the shirt collar.
3.Position the person in a chair so that his/her head is at your eye level
4.Comb the hair to remove all the tangles and hold the clipper in a relaxed, comfortable grip to help you maintain accurate cutting control.
5.Ensure that the blades are free of any hair clippings and that they are well oiled (see maintaining your Kambrook Clipper on page 5).
Take special note of the following tips to ensure you achieve the best cut possible….
1.For Uniform cutting, never push or force the hair clipper through the hair at a fast speed. The hair clipper works most efficiently when it runs at its own speed.
2.Initially cut only a small amount of hair until you become accustomed to the length each attachment leaves the hair.
3.The entire procedure requires practice and it is suggested to try the longest attachment comb on their hair clipper first. Then use the shorter one if a shorter length is desired.
Cutting your hair
Medium to Long Cut (with attachment combs)
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
3.Repeat around sides and back of head. (Diagram
4.If you desire a shorter cut, either change to a lower number attachment comb or apply more pressure and less lift away from the head with the attachment comb already in use.
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
Outlining
B-1 B-2
1.Outlining requires no attachment comb. Take the hair clipper and push the lever up to the close
– cut position (see “adjustable lever”)
2.Comb hair into the style. Position hair clipper between the side burns and the ear. (Diagram
3.Make sure the corner edge of the blade is up against the hairline. With the outline of the hair as your guide, slowly move the hair clipper over, around and behind the ears. (Diagram
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.
Short Cuts
1.Always cut from the back of the neck to the crown, using the longest attachment comb. Holding it flat against the head, slowly move the hair clipper up from the hair. (Diagram
2.Use the same technique for the sides, cutting from the bottom to the upper side of the head.
3.From the front to the crown, cut the hair against the direction in which it grows. Then even it up with the sides. (Diagram
4.To taper hair down to the neckline, use closer cutting attachment combs. Comb hair, check for uneven spots and outline sideburns and neckline. (Diagram
5.If a short tapered cut on the sides and back is desired, follow the diagram below and change attachments as illustrated. (Diagram
Maintaining your Kambrook Hair Clipper
Cleaning
After you have finished using your hair clipper, rapidly move the adjustable lever up and down a couple of times while the hair clipper is still running to remove any hair that may be caught in between the blades. Switch off the appliance and power outlet. Then, unplug your hair clipper and clean the blades with the brush supplied.
Oiling
To maintain the hair clipper in peak condition, the blades should be regularly oiled before, during and after every haircut. A substitute/ replacement for the clipper oil supplied in the kit is household sewing machine oil.
NOTE: Do not use hair oil, grease, oil mixed with kerosene or solvent, as these may slow down the motion of the blade.
To oil the blades, gently squeeze a few drops of oil between the blade teeth and turn the clipper on, checking that the clipper is running smoothly.
