4 Tilt the appliance in such a way that only one edge of the cutting

element touches the hair ends.

5 Only cut the hair ends. The hairline has to be close to the ear.

6 To contour the neckline and the sideburns, turn the appliance and

make downward strokes.

7 Move the appliance slowly and smoothly. Follow the natural hairline.

Clipping with the thinning comb (THINNING)

Make sure you use the right comb. If you use the hair clipping comb

(REGULAR) instead of the hair thinning comb (THINNING), the

appliance will clip all hair to the same length.

- With the thinning comb, you can give your haircut a natural look. It

also allows you to create a smooth transition between two different

hair lengths.

- The thinning comb cuts only half of the hair that enters the comb,

which results in a natural look.

Thinning an entire haircut

We advise you not to use the thinning comb for very short haircuts.

1 Slide the hair-thinning comb into the guiding grooves of the appliance

(‘click’).

Make sure that you slide the arms of the comb properly into the grooves

on both sides.

2 Set the thinning comb to a lower setting than the one you just

used for the regular hair clipping comb to create the haircut.

Note: How much lower the setting for the thinning comb should be depends on

your hairstyle and hair length. Never use the thinning comb at a setting that is

lower than half the setting you used to create the haircut. For example, if you

used the large clipping comb at 30mm to create the haircut, do not use the

thinning comb at a setting lower than 15mm.
