Thinning with a comb attachment

Set the locking ring so the thinning symbol is level with the arrow on the appliance. Thin the hair or the beard by cutting against the growth direction of the hair.

Tips

Check the required comb attachment is fitted and set to required length.

Only cut small lengths of hair at a time. Use decreasing settings until you achieve the right length.

o The cutting head will slow down or become blocked if the speed is too fast or if you cut too much hair at a time.

Hold the appliance with the slanting side of the comb attachment facing the head, and move in slow, even movements through the hair. If necessary, use the scissors (4) and the comb (3).

Brush the hair cuttings away from the head as you go to see how you progress.

Regularly shake hair cuttings from the appliance to prevent the cutting head from becoming blocked.
