Usage Tips

Giving a Comfortable,

Even Cut

Allow the clipper to cut through the hair without moving it too quickly. Moving the clipper too quickly may create a pulling sensation.

Use short strokes when cutting, and initially use the longest trimming guide. You can always use a closer trimming guide later if you want a closer cut.

How to Give a Haircut

1.Start at the back of the head. Holding the clipper as shown, lightly stroke upward making sure you

are taking off

the desired amount of hair.

Work your way up to the crown of the head in

layers. When completed, comb the area to remove any

loose hair and to determine whether you need any further cutting.

2.Repeat the same procedure for each side of the head. Make sure the length of the hair is trimmed to the same length on both sides of the head.

3.To cut the hair at the top of the

head, hold the hair between your fingers and cut a small amount at a time. Cut from the front to the back.

4.If you have the HC-920, HC-921, HC-930, or HC-8017 remove the trimming guide and replace with either the left or right ear guide. The shorter guide teeth are designed to be toward the ear. Move the clipper from the front of the head to the back. This creates a tapered effect around the ears and back of the neck.

To trim around the ears and short hairs at the nape of the neck with the HC-810 and HC-815, you must remove the trim- ming guide.

Angle the clip- per and lightly stroke around each ear to the back of the neck. Be careful not to touch the ears or to press too hard.

5.The final trim

can be made with the hair clipper or the included scissors. Make sure to check over the entire head for any uneven areas. For styled hair or giving quick trims, you may prefer using your hair clipper without the trimming guide.

6.The adjustable taper control lever allows you to gradually change the closeness of your cut,

either with or without a trimming guide. When

the lever is fully forward

the blades

will give you the closest cut. Moving the lever gradually backward increases the cut length.

Very short styles

1.Using the 1/2” (12mm) trimming guide, hold the comb

flat against the

head and move the hair clipper from the back of the neck to the crown of the head.

2.Cut in a similar

manner from the side to the

top of the head. Then cut from the front to the crown of the head.

3.If a “Flat Top” style is desired, then remove the trimming guide and use the barber’s comb. Trim a little at a time until a flat look is achieved.

Trimming Beards &

Mustaches

1.Comb your beard in the direction it

grows. 2. Determine the

length you want the beard to

remain, and fit

the appropriate trimming guide.

Remember the 1/8” (3mm) guide will give you the shortest beard while the 1/2” (12mm) or 1” (25mm) will give you the longest. If you want a longer beard you can use the barber’s comb as a trim- ming guide.

3.Start trimming under your chin and work toward your ear and beard line. Cut in different directions for a uniform trim.

4.Lightly stroke the edge of your mustache in a downward movement.
