The adjustable lever adds versatility to
your hair clipper by allowing you to
gradually change the closeness of your cut
without using an attachment comb.
Initially cut only a small amount of hair
until you become accustomed to the
length each attachment comb leaves the
hair.
When the lever is in the uppermost
position, the blade will give you the
closest cut.To increase the cutting length,
push the lever downward gradually.
It is suggested to try the longest
attachment comb on the hair clipper first,
then use the shorter one if a shorter
length is desired.
The lever extends the variety of lengths
that can be achieved with each attachment
comb, by using the varying cutting edges
with each attachment comb.
Attachment Combs
Attachment combs should be fitted to
hair clipper by placing the top edge (comb
edge) of the attachment comb over the
top of the cutting blades.

Oiling
To maintain the hair clipper in peak
condition, the blades should be regularly
oiled before, during and after every
haircut.A substitute/replacement for the
clipper oil supplied in the kit is household
sewing machine oil.
C-4
1.Always cut from the back of the neck to
the crown, using the longest attachment
comb. Holding it flat against the head,
slowly move the hair clipper up through
the hair. (Diagram C-1)
NOTE: Do not use hair oil, grease, oil mixed with
kerosene or solvent, as the solvent will evaporate
and leave the thick oil, which may slow down the
blade motion.
2. Use the same technique for the sides,
cutting from the bottom to the upper side
of the head.
To oil the blades, gently squeeze a few
drops of oil between the blade teeth and
turn the clipper on, checking that the
clipper is running smoothly.
3. From the front to the crown, cut the
hair against the direction in which it
grows.Then even it up with the sides.
(Diagram C-2)
4. For a flat top, use a normal flat comb
and cut hair on top of the head over it.
5.To taper hair down to the neckline, use
closer cutting attachment combs. Comb
hair and check for uneven spots and
outline sideburns and neckline. (Diagram
C-3)
If the blades are dulled and have stopped
cutting, replace them with new blades
from your nearest Kambrook service
centre.
6. If a short tapered cut on the sides and
back is desired, follow the diagram below
and change attachments as illustrated.
