OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance is intended for household use.
Use on Alternating Current (120V AC 60Hz) only.
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade
is wider than the other). As a safety feature, this
plug will fit in the outlet only one way. If the plug
does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If
it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician.
Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.
Your new Conair Haircut Kit has everything you
need to achieve professional haircuts at home.
Its powerful new torque motor clipper, with steel
blades for long-lasting cutting precision, fea-
tures a new 5-position adjustamatic taper con-
trol. Whatever hair length you set the lever for,
the clipper will automatically cut all hair in that
section at the desired length. Also included are
10 attachment combs for different hair lengths
(including left and right ear taper combs), bar-
ber scissors, a styling comb with angled teeth,
a barber comb with straight teeth, a full-length
barber cape, a case for easy storage, 9 styling
clips to assist you in cutting longer hair styles, a
neck brush and a 28 minute step-by-step How-
to DVD filled with styling tips and techniques in
both English and French. It also comes with lu-
bricating oil, a cleaning brush and a blade guard
for easy maintenance and protection of the clip-
per blades.
THE CONAIR GUIDE
TO CUTTING HAIR AT HOME
Before you start:
1. Inspect your clipper. Make sure it’s free of hair
and dirt, properly oiled, and running smoothly.
2. Place cape around the neck of the person
getting a haircut.
3. Seat the person so that his or her head is at
your eye level.This gives you greater visibility
and control.
4. First, comb hair until it’s tangle-free. Then
hold clipper in a comfortable grip. Now you’re
ready to cut.
MEDIUM TO LONG CUT
To begin with, cut only a small amount of hair
until you become used to the length each attach-
ment leaves the hair. Try the longest attachment
comb and put the taper control in the highest
setting. If you want a shorter cut, you can then
use shorter combs.
• Short attachment comb (number 1) cuts hair
to 1/8”.
• Medium-Short attachment comb (number 2)
cuts hair to 1/4”.
• Medium-Long attachment comb (number 3)
cuts hair to 3/8”.
• Long attachment comb (number 4) cuts hair
to 1/2”.
• Long attachment comb (number 5) cuts hair
to 5/8”.
• Long attachment comb (number 6) cuts hair
to 3/4”.
• Long attachment comb (number 7) cuts hair
to 7/8”.
• Long attachment comb (number 8) cuts hair
to 1”.
• Left ear attachment comb lightly tapers over
left ear.
Attach combs by holding the
teeth up, then snapping them
onto the bottom of the clipper
blade.
To remove comb attachments,
place index finger and thumb as
illustrated; then pull out and up.
NOTE: Never push or shove the clipper through
the hair to make it move more quickly. Profes-
sional experience shows that the clipper works
most efficiently when it cuts through the hair at
its own speed.
To begin cutting hair:
1. The hair should be combed in its natural
direction.
2. Using the largest attachment comb, trim
sides from the bottom upward. Hold clipper
lightly against the hair with teeth
of the attachment comb pointing
upward, yet flat against the head.
Gradually lift the clipper upward
and outward through the
hair, trimming just a little at
a time. Repeat around sides and
back of head.
If you want hair to be even
shorter:
A) Apply more pressure to the
head with the attachment comb
that is in place. This takes a little
practice, of course.
OR
B) Just switch to a shorter attachment comb.
Remember, it’s better to leave
too much hair than too little. For
longer hair on top, use the barber
comb and lift hair on the top of
the head, cutting over the comb,
or hold the hair between the fin-
gers and cut to desired length.
Always working from the front
to the back of the head, gradually
cut the hair shorter by reducing
the space between the comb or
fingers and the head. Comb often
to check for uneven strands, and
to get rid of trimmed hair.
OUTLINING
Outlining requires no attachments. Comb hair
into the desired style. Position the clipper be-
tween the sideburns and the ear (see below),
making sure the corner edge of the blade is
against the hairline. With the outline of the hair as
your guide, slowly move the clipper over, around
and behind the ears. For the back of the neck
and the sideburns, hold the clipper upside down
(see above) and, holding it against the skin at the
length desired, move the clipper downward.
STOP. COMB. CHECK.
For best results, do as the professionals do:
comb hair often, and check clipping results as
you comb. This way you avoid uneven sides,
bangs, neckline, etc.
SHORTCUTS TO PERFECT
FLAT TOPS, CREW CUTS, ETC.
Always cut from the back of the neck to the
crown, using the longest comb setting. Hold
the comb attachment flat against the head and
slowly move the clipper up through the hair. Use
the same technique for the sides, cutting from
the bottom to the upper side of the head.
For the front to the crown, cut the hair against
the direction in which it grows, then even it up
with the sides.
For a flat top, use the flat comb, not the attach-
ment comb. Just cut hair on top of the head over
flat comb (see above).
To taper hair down to the neckline, use attach-
ment comb #1. Comb hair and check for uneven
spots. Outline sideburns and neck areas (see
“Outlining”).
USER MAINTENANCE
CARE OF YOUR CLIPPERS
IF YOU DETERMINE THAT BLADE ALIGNMENT
IS INCORRECT:
MAINTENANCE OF THE BLADE
Always apply oil to the blades before, during and
after use. This will ensure maximum cutting per-
formance. Hold clipper away from your body in
a downward position and apply oil on the front
and sides of the cutter blade. Wipe excess oil off
with a soft, dry cloth.
