Remington HC5550 [10/162] English

ENGLISH

For longer hair on top, use the longer length comb attachment (24-42mm) to achieve desired style.

Always work from the back of the head.

STEP 5 – The ﬁnishing touches – PICTURE 5

Use the clipper without an attachment comb for close trimming around the base and sides of

the neck. Use the ear comb guides to get a clean line around each ear. For the required ear

comb guide, angle the clipper and lightly stroke around each ear to the back of the neck.

To produce a clean straight line at the sideburns, reverse the hair clipper. Place the reversed

clipper at right angles to the head, tips of the blades lightly touching the skin and then work

downwards.

SHORT TAPERED STYLES – “FLAT TOPS” & SHORT CUTS

Starting with the longest guide comb attached (24mm - 42mm), cut from the back of the neck

to the crown. Hold the guide comb ﬂat against the head and slowly move the clipper through

the hair, as shown. (PICTURE 1)

Use the same procedure from the lower side to the upper side of the head, as illustrated.

Then cut the hair against the direction in which it grows and level with the sides. (PICTURE 3)

To give a “ﬂat top” look, the hair on top of the head must be cut over the top of a ﬂat comb.

Use a closer guide comb to taper the hair down to the neckline as desired.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE STUBBLE GUIDE COMB (Only for HC5550 & HC5750)

The 1.5mm guide comb is designed to create the perfect 3-day beard look.

Place the ﬂat top of the trimmer comb against the skin.

Slowly slide the trimmer through the beard. Repeat from different direction as necessary.

If hair builds up in the trimmer comb during the trimming process, switch the unit off, pull off

the comb and brush/rinse off.

HAIR TEXTURE MECHANISM

Use with attachment comb for blending and texturising

Blending different length areas: Select the appropriate length comb to blend. Slide out the

Hair Texture Mechanism (guard) which allows you to blend / thin out the area.

Textured cut: Slide out the Hair Texture Mechanism (guard) to give an all over textured cut.

LONG HAIR TEXTURE

Technique 1: Twist a small section of hair into a bunch. Slide out the Hair Texture

Mechanism, with one or two passes in a roll out motion, cut ends of hair. Be careful not to

cut completely through the bunch. When the hair is un-twisted it will have the professional

looking texture ﬁnish.

Technique 2: Using a comb, brush hair upward through the comb exposing only the ends of

the hair. With the Hair Texture Mechanism in position, cut just the ends of the hair with one

or two passes using a rolling motion. Be careful not to cut completely through the hair.
