USEFUL TIPS

Short haircut (Figure 3)

To make a short haircut you will need the at-

tachment combs No. 1, 2, 3 and 4 (leaving the hair

3, 6, 9 and 12 mm long). Do not forget to change

the combs when switching to different parts of the

head (Figure 3a).

 Comb the hair thoroughly before starting to cut.

 Begin cutting from the back of the head. First cut the hair at the

back of the head using the attachment comb No. 4 just to

shorten the hair a little. When cutting, hold the clipper firmly in

your hand. Cut the hair with short upward strokes (opposite to

the direction in which the hairs grow), tilting the blades (2) up

a little as shown on Figure 3b. After all the hair at the back of

the head is cut uniformly with attachment comb No. 4 (hair

length 12 mm), change it to the comb with next lower number

(see Figure 3a). Cut the hair at the back of the head once

more. Pause several times and comb the hair to see the result.

 Cut the hair at the sides and at the top of the head in the same

manner. At the top of the head move the clipper from fore-

head to the top, opposite to the direction in which the hairs

grow (see Figure 3c). Trim the hair at the top so that it is even

with the sides. Comb the hair to see the result.

 To trim the whiskers and shape the hair at the back of the head

remove the attachment comb and set the adjustable taper

control lever (4) to the uppermost position (very short hair).

Trim the hair at the edges holding the clipper upturned and at

a right angle to the skin, moving downwards, just touching the

hair (Figure 3d).

 To cut the hair around the ears also use the clipper without the

attachment combs. Comb the hair around the ears thoroughly.

Set the upturned clipper between the whisker’s and the ear

and check that the blade is at an angle to the hairline. Using

only the clipper tip follow slowly the shape needed (Figures

3e and 3f). Hold the clipper at a right angle to the skin to

avoid injuries.

Medium haircut (Figure 4)

To make a medium haircut you will need the attachment combs

No. 1, 2, 3 and 4 (leaving hair of 3, 6, 9 and 12 mm long). Do not

forget to change the combs when switching to different parts of

the head (Figure 4a). Doing this hairstyle you will get a flat

surface at the top of the head.

 The most important thing in making a good haircut is to dry the

hair in the right manner. Dry the hair with a hairdryer blow

drying it in an opposite direction to which the hairs grow to

give body and style (Figure 4b).

 Begin cutting from the sides and the back of the head using

attachment combs shown in Figure 4a (for cutting technique
