   adaptor directly into the Clipper (fig. 1)  

   and plug the appliance plug into any 120V AC  

    outlet. Use only the cord provided. 

 

w

  An adaptor plug may be necessary for      

  cord usage in some foreign countries. Use  

  an attachment plug adaptor of the proper  

  configuration for power outlet.  

After a few moments, the green Charging   

      Light on the appliance will blink to indicate  

    the Clipper is charging (fig. 2).

    plug electrical cord into the outlet or  

    recharge the Clipper after the battery has  

    been removed. 

 15

  Contact your local town or city officials  

    for battery disposal information or call  

    1-800-8-BATTERY or www.rbrc.com for  

    battery drop-off locations.

Be certain Clipper is OFF. 

Select the comb attachment. The  remaining  

    hair length after clipping is indicated on the  

    sides of each comb (fig. 5). 

    – Small comb: 1/8 – 7/8 in. (3-21mm) 

    – Large comb: 1 – 1 3/4 in. (24-42mm) 

Slide the selected comb into the guiding    

    grooves on both sides of Clipper and push  

    until you hear it ‘click’ into place (fig. 6). 

Make sure the comb attachment locks properly 

into position. 

 Press the Hair Length Selector (1) and slide it 

to the desired setting (2) (fig. 7).  

The setting indications on the sides of the   

    comb show the selected setting. 

When you are clipping for the first time, start at 

the maximum clipping length setting (7/8 in./21mm 

or 1 3/4 in./42mm) of the small or large comb to 

familiarize yourself with the appliance and prevent 

accidentally trimming hairs too short. As you 

become familiar with the settings, adjust the Hair 

Length Selector to desired trimming length. 

Make sure that the flat part of the comb is  

    always in full contact with the scalp to obtain  

    an even result.  

Since all hairs do not grow in the same  

    direction, move the appliance slowly over the  

    crown from different directions (i.e. upwards,  

    downwards and across) to achieve an even  

   result. 

   Always move the appliance against the    

  direction of hair growth. 

 Make overlapping passes over the head to 

ensure that all hair that should be cut has 

been cut. 

For best results with curly, sparse or long  

    hair, use a styling comb to guide the hair  

    towards the Clipper. 

Turn the Clipper off regularly during clipping  

    and remove the hair comb to blow and/or  

    shake out hair that has accumulated. 

w

 REMEMBER: You must reset the hair length    

  selector back to your desired setting every   

  time you replace the hair clipping comb on the  

 appliance. 

w

This cut allows you to achieve a smooth  

  transition from longer hair on top of the  

  head to shorter hair on the back and sides  

  of the head.

Slide the large comb into the guiding grooves  

  on both sides of the Clipper and push until  

  you hear it ‘click’ into place (fig. 6). 

Press the Hair Length Selector (1) and slide  

    it to the maximum setting (2) of 1 3/4 in./ 

    42 mm (fig. 7). 

Clip the desired areas of the head.  

Then choose a shorter setting and cut all   

    parts of the head except the top where you  

    want the hair to be longer. 

Repeat until all hairs have the desired length. 

w

  This technique can be used to obtain hair 

lengths over 1 3/4 in./42 mm. 

Remove the hair comb attachment by  

     pressing the Hair Length Selector (1) and 

     sliding the comb off the Clipper (2) (fig. 8). 

Never pull off a comb by grasping the flexible top 

portion.  Always pull off by the bottom part of 

attachment. 

Comb a small section of hair upwards. 

Lift the hair with a styling comb and hold it  

    between your fingers.  

The amount of hair you wish to cut should extend 

beyond your fingers. 

Cut the hair extending from the fingers  

    or comb. 

Continue this procedure, working from the  

    front to the back of the head. 

Comb hair often to remove trimmed hair   

    and to check for uneven areas.
