head of the person whose hair you are cutting
is at the same level as your chest so that all
parts of his/her head are clearly visible and
within easy reach.
DP Make sure hair is clean and dry.
DP Before you begin, comb the hair in the
direction of growth (fig. 3).
D To achieve optimal clipping results, always move
the appliance slowly through the hair against
the direction of hair growth.

n ntle movements.

one edge of the cutter blades touches the
hair ends when you shape the contours
around the ears (fig. 11).

close to the ear.
To contour the nape of the neck or
sideburns, turn the Groomer and hold it with
the cutter blades pointing downwards
(fig. 12).
El Move the Groomer slowly and smoothly
following the natural hairline.

Length Setting Selector to desired trimming
length. Selector will “click” into position at each
setting.
EJ Switch the Groomer ON (fig. 7).
EN To trim in the most effective way, move
the Groomer against the direction of hair

direction, you may want to try different trimming
directions (i.e. upwards, downwards, or across).
Practice is best for optimum results.

remove the comb and blow and/or shake the
hair out of the comb.You can also use the

toured edges to remove any stubble while creating
