3 Slide the selected comb into the guiding
grooves on both sides of Clipper and push
until you hear it 'click' into place (fig. 4).
4 Turn the Zoom Wheel Hair Length Setting
Selector to the desired setting (fig. 5). See
Table 1 for settings.
5 The selected setting number will appear in
the Hair Length Settings Window on the
Clipper.
When you are clipping for the first time, start
at the maximum clipping length setting (#6.5
on small comb or #13 on large comb) to
familiarize yourself with the appliance and prevent
accidentally trimming hairs too short. As you
become familiar with the settings, adjust the Zoom
Wheel Hair Length Setting Selector to desired
trimming length.
6 Make sure that the flat part of the comb is
always in full contact with the scalp to obtain
an even result (fig. 6).
7 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 (fig. 7).

direction of hair growth.
