BLADE LEVER
•The lever is conveniently located above the on/ off switch so it can easily be adjusted while the clipper is in your hand.
•The lever adds versatility to the clipper by allowing a gradual change to the length of a cut without an attachment comb.
•When the lever is in the uppermost position, the blades will give the closest cut leaving the hair very short. Pushing the lever gradually downward increases the cutting length.
•In its lowest position, the lever will leave the hair approximately the same length as a #1 comb.
•The lever will also extend the blade’s life
as a longer cut requires less work from the blades.
•While the clipper is running, move the Lever from “close cut” to “longer cut” a number of times. This will help keep cut hair away from the blades. If the clipper stops cutting, and the method above does not help, then the blades are blunt and need to be replaced.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR HAIR CUTTING
Before using clippers to cut hair:
1.Inspect the clipper, making sure that it is free of oil between the cutting blade teeth. Switch on the unit to distribute the oil and to ensure that it is running smoothly. Wipe off any excess oil. This should be done after each use. Unwind and straighten the cord during use in order to avoid tangling.
2.Ensure that the person that is going to have their hair cut is properly seated and that the hair to be cut is at eye level. This allows easy visibility while cutting and complete control of the clipper.
3.Before cutting hair, brush/comb the hair so that it is straight & tangle free.
4.Place a towel around the neck and shoulders of the person having the haircut.
REMINDERS
