IMPORTANT

Like many new products, your Norelco Home

Hair Cutting System may take a little getting used to. If you are using a hair clipper for the first time, or if you’ve used a different brand, take a moment to familiarize yourself with your new Norelco Hair Clipper.

For tips and cutting techniques you will find the accompanying Instructional Video (model 35LC only) helpful. This will provide you with actual cutting instructions for creating today’s fashionable styles. The comfort-hold design allows for ease of use, making the Norelco Hair Clipper perfect for quick trims or a more thorough hair cut.

When you first use your Hair Clipper, you may want to begin at the highest (longest) setting

(#7) to prevent trimming off too much hair. For best results, comb hair often as you trim–this will help to keep sides, bangs and neckline even.

As you become more familiar with your Norelco

Hair Clipper, you will want to try the different hair length settings. . . for precise, even trims and cuts at the touch of a switch.
