How to Use

Charging (HC-920 and HC-930 only)

The HC-920 and HC-930 may be operated with or without the cord attached. For cord- less operation, the unit should be fully charged first. Attach the cord to the unit and plug it in for 14 hours before use.

Line Cord Safety Tips

NOTE: This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety feature, this plug will fit in a polar- ized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.

1.To insert plug, grasp it firmly and guide it into outlet.

2.To disconnect the appliance, grasp the plug and remove it from outlet. Do not pull or yank on the cord or appliance.

Do not wrap the cord around the appliance.

Blade Care

The life of your clippers will depend on frequency of use, care, application of oil, and hair type and condition. Blades should be replaced when cutting efficiency has deteriorated. Contact a Remington Service Center for a quotation.

HC-815, HC-8017, HC-912, HC-920, HC-921, and HC-930 blades are lubed for life and do not require additional oil.

Oiling the HC-810’s Blades

■We have pre-oiled and aligned the blades on your Remington® hair clipper.

■The blades on your HC-810 hair clipper

should be oiled before every haircut. Simply place

a few drops of oil on the teeth of the blades.

■Not applying enough oil to

the HC-810’s blades generally causes cutting problems. Blades will wear pre- maturely and not cut properly if they are not sufficiently lubricated. There may also be a pulling sensation on the hair.

Oil Cautions

■Use only the light-grade oil supplied or a suitable alternative like sewing machine oil.

■Do not use hair oil, grease, or any oil mixed with kerosene or solvent, as the solvent will evaporate and leave the thick oil, slowing the blades.

Before Cutting Hair

1.Make sure your hair clipper is oiled (if model HC-810) and runnning smoothly, with a slight vibration.

2.Place a cape around the neck of the per- son whose hair is being trimmed or cut. (A cape is provided with models HC-920, HC-921, and HC-930.)

3.This person should be seated so that the top of his head is at your eye level.

4.Comb the hair as it is normally styled.

5.Comb out all knots and tangles.

6.Ensure the hair is dry. Hair clippers per- form best with dry hair, making it easier to see how much hair is being cut.

7.Hold the hair clipper in the palm of one hand with your thumb resting firmly on the top of the hair clipper. This grip pro- vides comfortable cutting control.

Although the hair clipper may be used with the left or right hand, using it right- handed allows you to access the taper lever more easily.

To Attach Trimming Guides

1.Select the trimming guide that matches the length you want the hair to be after the cut. The trimming guides are num- bered and marked with 1/8” (3mm), 1/4” (7mm), 3/8” (9mm), 1/2” (12mm), 5/8”(15mm), 3/4”(18mm), 7/8”(22mm), and 1”(25mm). See preceding chart to determine which combs your model contains.

2.While the clipper is off, hold the trimming guide with the teeth up. Slide the trimming guide onto the blades until it locks into place.
