proper outlet. Do not change the plug in an y way .
Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.
USER MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS OILING THE BLADES (OIL NOT INCLUDED) About once a month you should oil the blades.
It is best to do this over a piece of newspaper .
T urn the unit on and hold it so that the blades
are pointed downward. Spread one drop of
lubricating oil across the blades, then turn the
unit off and wipe away the excess oil with a
soft cloth.
Be careful not to use too much oil and don’t oil
more than necessary , as this could damage the
motor . (Never a ttempt to oil the motor bearing,
as it is permanently lubricated.) After oiling the
blades, return the unit to stora ge. Keep oil a way
from children.
BLADE CARE Because the blades are precision made for a very
special use, they should al ways be handled with
care. Each time you finish use, take a cleaning
brush and brush away any loose hair that has col-
lected in the blades. Then store the unit to protect
the blades until the next use.
T o promote the long life of the appliance, use
your trimmer only for the purpose intended by
the manufacturer .
THE CONAIR GUIDE TO CUTTING HAIR AT HOME Before you start:
1. Inspect your clipper . Make sure it’ s free of
hair and dirt, is properly oiled, and running
smoothly .
2. Place a to wel around the neck of the person.
3. Sea t 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 T o begin with, cut only a small amount of hair until
you become used to the length each attachment
leaves the hair . T r y the longest attachment on the
clipper first. If you want a shorter cut, you can
then use shorter combs.
• Short attachment comb (number AC404)
cuts hair to 1/16" (1.5mm)
• Short-Medium attachment comb
(number AC405) cuts hair to 1/8" (3mm)
• Medium-Long attachment comb
(number AC406) cuts hair to 1/4" (6mm)
• Long attachment comb (number AC407)
cuts hair to 3/8" (9mm)
Attach combs by holding them teeth up, then
snapping onto the bottom of the clipper blade.
T o remove comb attachments, place index
finger and thumb on bottom of comb, then pull
out and up.
NOTE: Never push or shove the c lipper
through the hair to make it move
more quickly . Professional e xperience
shows that the clipper works most
efficiently when it cuts through the
hair at its own speed.
TRIMMING The T rim Up corded clipper can also be
used as a trimming and detailing tool. Grea t
for touch-ups, trims and fine line detailing
between haircuts.
OUTLINING Outlining requires no attachments. Comb
hair into the desired style. Position the clip-
per between 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, slo wly move the
clipper over , around and behind the ears.
For the back of the neck and the sideburns,
hold the clipper upside down 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.
USE FOR TRIMMING YOUR BEARD OR MUSTACHE 1. The clipper inc ludes four comb attach-
ments, which provide lengths of 1/16"
(shortest) to 3/8" (longest).
2. T o use one of the attachments, press it
down over the blades until it clicks into
position. At first, until you become familiar
with the combs, use the longest comb first.
(Y ou can always go back and make your beard
or mustache a little shorter .)
3. It is al ways best to begin with a clean,
slightly damp beard/mustache.
4. After you have combed through your beard/
mustache in the direction it grows naturally ,
begin trimming using smooth, even strokes.
Start with your sideburns and work down-
ward toward your chin. (Never attempt to trim
against the natural growth of your beard/mus-
tache because the hair will be cut too short.)
5. If you decide you want a closer trim, you
can now switch to the shorter comb (1/16")
and go over your beard/mustache again until
you achieve the desired length.
6. After your beard/mustache has been
trimmed to the desired length, remove the
attachment comb and, using the blades only ,
define the outlines of your beard/mustache.
7. T urn off the c lipper and remove the attach-
ment by gently pulling up on the tab.
CARE OF YOUR CLIPPER/TRIMMER REPLACEMENT (REMOV AL) OF BLADE SET
T o remove blade set, make sure
the unit is in the OFF position.
Remove the blade set by placing
thumb against the smaller cutter
and pushing forward, releasing
the cutter assembly from the
housing. Replace with new cutting system
and reverse the removal procedure, only this
time place your thumb on the large cutter and
snap into place.
If clipper stops cutting, check to see if there is a
clump of hair lodged between the blades. If that is
the problem, unplug the clipper and then detach
the blade to remove the hair .
If the clipper stops cutting but does not stop
running, you will need to check the blades. For
new blades, send check or money order for
$6.50, which includes postage and handling (if
$10 minimum is met) to:

WARNING: IF YOU THINK THE POWER IS OFF WHEN THE SWITCH IS OFF , YOU’RE WRONG. KEEP AWA Y FROM WA TER Everyone knows tha t electricity and water
are a dangerous combination. But did you
