USING THE ATTACHMENT COMBS
(Some models do not have combs and sizes will vary by kit)
You can set the blades for a longer cut by using any of the attachment combs made
for your Andis clipper. You can attach a comb to the blade in any position. The combs
mount easily; simply slip the cutter blade teeth into comb and snap the comb down
(Figures A & B). To remove, simply snap off. These attachment combs guide hair into
the blades and give you precise control of hair lengths. The length of trim is indicated
on the attachment comb. Use the chart to find the approximate lengths of cut.
Different blade angles in relation to the skin, as well as thickness and texture of the
hair will vary the cutting length.
