always in full contact with the scalp to obtain
an even result (fig. 8).
6 Since all hairs do not grow in the same
direction, move the appliance slowly over the
crown from different directions (i.e. upwards,
downwards and across) to achieve an even
result.
7 Always move the appliance against the
direction of hair growth.
8 Make overlapping passes over the head to
ensure that all hair that should be cut has
been cut.
9 For best results with curly, sparse or long
hair, use a styling comb to guide the hair
towards the Clipper.

and remove the hair clipping comb to blow
and/or shake out hair that has accumulated.
TIP: Write down the settings you have used to create
a certain hairstyle as a reminder for future clipping
sessions.
Clipping without hair clipping comb

very close to the skin (0.5mm/1/32 inch) or to
contour the neckline and area around the ears.
1 Remove the hair clipping comb by pressing
and sliding the comb off the Clipper (fig. 9).
Be careful when you are clipping without comb
attachment as when the Clipper is turned on it

2 To contour the hairline around the ears,
comb the hair ends over the ears.
3 Tilt the Clipper in such a way that only
one edge of the cutter blades touches the
hair ends when you shape the contours
around the ears.

close to the ear.

sideburns, turn the Clipper and make
downward strokes (fig. 10).

following the natural hairline.
