How to cut the hair:
-- Situate the person whose hair you
are going to cut so that the top of
their head is at your eye level. Place
a protective towel or cloth around
their neck.
- To obtain best results is better to
use the appliance on dry hair, as it is
much easier to control the hair and
the result.
- Comb hair well before cutting.
Make sure that there are no tangles
or knots.
- Hold the appliance in a calm and
relaxed manner in order to ensure
maximum control of the cut and a
uniform result. Proceed to use short
cuts gradually going around the head.
- Leave the hair a little longer than
desired length as it can always be
altered later.
- While working adapt the comb /
comb guide to the desired result
- At regular intervals, stop cutting in
order to comb the hair and check the
results so far.
Step 1 Nape:
- Attach comb guide size 4-16mm (E)
- Hold the appliance with the razor
facing downwards and begin to cut
the hair from the base of the neck.
- Make some upward movements,
raising the appliance gradually and
away from the head, cutting the hair
gradually until the height of the ears

size 4-16mm (E) to trim the side-
burns.
- Attach the longest comb guide size
16-30 (F) again and continue until
you reach the top of the head.
Step 4 The top of the head:
- Using comb guide size 4-16mm
(E), pass the appliance from the
back to the front, against the growth
of the hair (Fig 4). In some cases
it’s necessary to go over what you
have done a second time from front
to back.
- The comb guide size 4-16mm (E) is
for when you want to achieve a more
precise cut.
- Use comb guides size 18-30mm
(F) to leave hair at a longer length.
Hold the hair up with the comb or the
comb and your fingers and cut.
- Always work from the back to the
front reducing the length between
your fingers or the comb and the head

attaching any comb guides to the bla-
des to cut the hair around the base of
the neck, the sides of the neck and
the ears.
