[. . . ] This appliance is only intended for clipping human hair. Charge the appliance for at least 12 hours before you start using it for the first time. a fully charged appliance has a cordless operating time of up to 35 minutes. Do not charge the appliance for more than 24 hours. [. . . ] Choose the appropriate hair length setting. Start at the setting for maximum hair length (21 mm) to familiarise yourself with the clipper. 4 Make sure that the flat part of the comb attachment is always fully in contact with the scalp to obtain an even cutting result. Pass the clipper slowly over the crown from different directions to achieve an even cutting result. Make overlapping passes over the head to ensure that the clipper catches all the hairs that need to be cut. Comb the hair in the direction of hair growth from time to time so that the clipper can catch the hair more easily. To achieve a good result with curly, sparse or long hair, you can use a comb to guide the hair towards the clipper. We advise you to regularly remove clipped hair from the comb while clipping. The Philishave hair clipper not only allows you to cut the hair evenly at the same length all over the head, it also enables 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. Then choose a shorter setting and cut the hair on all parts of the head except the top, where you want the hair to be longer. You can repeat this procedure until the hair on every part of the head has the desired length. You can use the clipper without comb attachment to contour the neckline and the area around the ears. Be careful when you are clipping without comb attachment, for the clipper will remove every hair it touches. 1 2 3 Remove the comb attachment by pulling it off the clipper. Before contouring the hairline round the ears, comb the hair ends over the ear. Bend the person's ear to get it out of the way. Tilt the clipper in such a way that only one edge of the cutting element touches the hair ends. The hairline should be close to the ear. To contour the nape hairline and the sideburns, turn the clipper and make downward strokes. This technique can be used to obtain hair lengths over 21 mm. Bear in mind that this technique is difficult to master and should only be applied by experienced users. Lift the hair with a styling comb or hold it between your fingers until only the length that needs to be cut sticks out.
