trician to install the proper outlet. Do not attempt

Your new Conair Haircut Kit has everything you
need to achieve professional haircuts at home. Its
powerful magnetic motor clipper with stainless
steel blades for long lasting cutting precision. Also
included are 4 attachment combs for different hair
lengths. It also comes with a barber comb, barber
scissors, barber cape, storage pouch cleaning
brush, lubricating oil and a blade guard for easy
maintenance of the clipper blades.
1. Inspect your clipper to make sure it is free of
hair and dirt, is properly oiled and is running
2. Place a towel or cape around the neck of the
person getting the haircut.
3. Seat the person so that his/her head is at your
eye level. This gives you greater visibility and
4. Comb hair until it is tangle-free. Hold the clip-
per in a comfortable grip. Now you're ready
To begin, cut only a small amount of hair until
you become used to the length each attachment
leaves the hair. Try the longest attachment on the
clipper first. If you want a shorter cut, you can
• Short attachment comb (number 1) cuts hair
• Medium-Short attachment comb (number 2)
• Medium-Long attachment comb (number 3)
• Long attachment comb (number 4) cuts hair
NOTE: Never push or shove the clipper
through the hair to make it move more quick-
ly. Professional experience shows that the
clipper works most efficiently when it cuts
through the hair at its own speed.
with teeth of the attach-
ment comb pointing up ward, yet flat against
the head. Gradually lift the clipper upward and
outward through the hair, trimming just a little
too little. For longer hair
comb and lift hair on the
the hair between the fin-
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.
Repeat around sides and back of head.
If you want hair to be even shorter:
A) Apply more pressure to
the head with the attach-
place. This takes a little
B) Just switch to a shorter
For best results, do as the professionals do:
comb the hair often and check results as you
comb. This way you can avoid uneven sides,
Outlining requires no attachments. Comb the hair
into the desired style, Position the clipper between
the sideburns and the ear (see sketch) and make
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 side-
burns, hold the clipper upside down (see sketch)
and, holding it against the skin at the length
desired, move the clipper downward.
SHORTCUTS TO PERFECT FLAT TOPS,
Always cut the hair from the back of the neck
toward 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 of the crown, cut the hair against its
natural direction. Then even it up with the sides.
For a flat top use a flat comb, not the attachment
comb. Just cut top hair by running the clipper over
To taper hair down to the neckline, use the lower
settings attachment comb. Comb the hair and
check for uneven spots. Outline the sideburns and
neckline areas (see Outlining).
IF YOU DETERMINE THAT BLADE
hair clippers are carefully inspected to
insure that the blades are in perfect alignment.
You will need to realign the blades after remov-
ing them for cleaning or replacement, or if they
should be knocked out of alignment. How can
you tell if the blades need realigning? Simply
match them up, point for point, to conform with
1. To prevent the clipper from contacting the skin
or cutting too closely, make certain that the
end of the top blade is 1/32” to 1/16” back
2. Position the extreme left-hand tooth of the top
blade so that it either covers, or appears on the
left of the first small tooth on the bottom blade.
3. Make sure that the big tooth on the bottom
blade touches the extreme right-hand tooth on
To maintain the blades of your Conair
clipper in peak condition, oil them after
every three or four haircuts. Gently place
a few drops of oil on the teeth of the blades,
using the special Conair oil included with your
set. Turn the clipper on for a minute, then
turn off. This light, natural oil was formulated
specifically for the Conair
per. Because it is the right oil to use, it will not
slow down the blades. Never use any other
product; there is no substitute for Conair oil.
KEEP OIL OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.

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 loosen
the blades to remove the hair.
If the clipper stops cutting but does not stop run

clipper blades are made of high
carbon stainless steel. They are engineered
for precise, professional results. If blades feel
like they are pulling or grabbing hair, it means
they are losing their sharpness and should be
replaced as soon as possible.
Attachment combs should also be replaced if
they are lost or broken. It is easier to cut hair
with the accuracy of a pro when the necessary
tools are at your fingertips.
Conair makes a variety of accessories for dif
ferent haircut kits. If your haircut kit does not
include them, you may want to consider adding
them to your professional hair cutting tools.
Left and right ear attachment combs provide
effortless, precise cutting around the ears. Styling
clips hold hair in place when you are sectioning
hair. A styling comb makes it easy to taper or cut
hair at an angle. A barber cape ensures a com
fortable and neat haircut and a convenient stor-
age pouch keeps all your essentials in one place.
