Preparing for use
Clipping with comb attachment
C1Before you start clipping, make sure the
head of the person whose hair you are
cutting is at the same level as your chest.
2To get the best results, use the hair clipper
only on dry hair. Do not use it on freshly
washed hair.
3First comb the hair into the direction of
hair growth.
ENGLISH6
C4Always move the clipper against the
direction of hair growth, otherwise it will
not cut the hair properly.
5Move the clipper through the hair slowly.
Using the appliance
Clipping with comb attachment
C1Slide the comb attachment onto the rails
on the appliance until you hear a click.
2Make sure that the arms of the comb
attachment have been properly slid onto
the rails on both sides.
C3Choose the appropriate hair length
setting.
Press the adjustment button on the back of the
appliance and slide the comb attachment to the
desired position.
The clipper has 7 different hair length settings:
-3mm
-6mm
-9mm
- 12 mm
- 15 mm
- 18 mm
- 21 mm
Start at the setting for maximum hair length (21
mm) to familiarise yourself with the clipper.
ENGLISH 7
4Make sure that the flat part of the comb
attachment is always fully in contact with
the scalp to obtain an even cutting result.
5Pass the clipper slowly over the crown
from different directions to achieve an
even cutting result.
6Make overlapping passes over the head to
ensure that the clipper catches all the hairs
that need to be cut.
7Comb the hair in the direction of hair
growth from time to time so that the
clipper can catch the hair more easily.
8To achieve a good result with curly, sparse
or long hair, you can use a comb to guide
the hair towards the clipper.
9We advise you to regularly remove clipped
hair from the comb while clipping.
Graduation
The Philishave hair clipper not only allows you to
cut the hair evenly at the same length all over the
head, it also enables you to achieve a smooth
transition from longer hair on top of the head to
shorter hair on the back and sides of the head.
1Start clipping at the setting for maximum
hair length (i.e. position 21 mm).
ENGLISH8
2Then choose a shorter setting and cut the
hair on all parts of the head except the
top, where you want the hair to be longer.
3You can repeat this procedure until the
hair on every part of the head has the
desired length.
Precise contouring without comb
attachment
You can use the clipper without comb attachment
to contour the neckline and the area around the
ears.
Be careful when you are clipping without comb
attachment, for the clipper will remove every hair
it touches.
1Remove the comb attachment by pulling it
off the clipper.
2Before contouring the hairline round the
ears, comb the hair ends over the ear.
3Bend the person's ear to get it out of the
way.
C4Tilt the clipper in such a way that only one
edge of the cutting element touches the
hair ends.
C5Only cut the hair ends.The hairline should
be close to the ear.
ENGLISH 9
C6To contour the nape hairline and the
sideburns, turn the clipper and make
downward strokes.
7Move slowly and smoothly.
C8Just follow the natural hairline.
Cutting over styling comb or fingers
This technique can be used to obtain hair lengths
over 21 mm. Bear in mind that this technique is
difficult to master and should only be applied by
experienced users.
1Remove the comb attachment.
C2Comb a small section of hair upwards. Lift
the hair with a styling comb or hold it
between your fingers until only the length
that needs to be cut sticks out.
C3Cut the hair protruding from the comb or
fingers.
4Continue this procedure and comb
frequently to remove cut hair and to check
for unevenly cut sections.
ENGLISH10
