always trim off additional hair later.
•As you work, brush/comb the hair frequently back into the style to which you are cutting.
•Make sure that hair is dry for using the clipper.
BEGINNING THE HAIRCUT
Cutting hair requires practice. When cutting for the first time, always use a longer comb and then change combs to cut hair shorter if required/ preferred.
ATTACHMENT COMB (see main diagram)
•Attachment Comb #1 leaves 3mm hair length.
•Attachment Comb #2 leaves 6mm hair length.
•Attachment Comb #3 leaves 9mm hair length.
•Attachment Comb #4 leaves 12mm hair length.
Each comb attachment is marked accordingly on the outside surface.
•To attach a comb, hold comb with the teeth showing upward and slide it onto and along the clipper blade until the front of the comb firmly clicks into the clipper blade.
•To remove the comb, simply pull the comb upward and away from the clipper blade.
STEP 1 - NAPE OF THE NECK
1.Attach comb attachment 3mm or 6mm.
2.Hold the clipper cutting edge pointing upwards and begin the haircut, starting in the middle of the base of the neck (see diagram 1).
3.Hold the clipper comfortably in your hand and hold lightly against the head with the comb teeth pointing upward. Gradually and slowly lift the clipper working upwards and outwards, through the hair, trimming just a little at a time.
4.As you cut, gradually lift the clipper head towards you. Continue to cut the back area from the bottom of the neck upwards to the top of the ears.

STEP 2 - BACK OF THE HEAD
1.Change to the next longest comb attachment 9mm or 12mm and cut the hair on the back of the head (see diagram 2).
DIAGRAM 2
STEP 3 - SIDE OF THE HEAD
1.Change to one of the shorter combs 3mm or 6mm, trim sideburns, i.e. the hair directly in front of the ears. Change to one of the longer combs, 9mm or 12mm, and continue to cut to the top of the head (see diagram 3).
DIAGRAM 3
STEP 4 - TOP OF THE HEAD
1.Using the 9mm or 12mm comb attachment, cut hair on the top of the head from back to front against the direction in which the hair normally grows (see diagram 4). In some cases, this may require the reverse, or cutting from front to back.
2.Comb attachments 3mm or 6mm are used to achieve a close crew cut or short cut.
3.For longer hair on top, lift the hair with a comb or hold the hair between your fingers and use the clippers to cut to the desired length (see diagrams 5 and 6). Always work from the back of the head. Hair can be cut shorter gradually by reducing the space between the comb/ fingers, and the head. Comb out trimmed hair and check for uneven strands.
