THE CONAIR GUIDE TO CUTTING HAIR AT HOME Before you start: 1. Inspect your clipper. Make sure it’s free of hair and dirt, properly oiled, and running smoothly. 2. Place a towel around the neck of the person. 3. Seat the person so that their 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.
Attach combs by holding them teeth up then snapping onto the bottom of the clipper blade. To remove comb attachments place index finger and thumb as illustrated; then pull out and up. NOTE: Never push or shove the clipper through the hair to make it move more quickly. Professional experience shows that the clipper works most efficiently when it cuts through the hair at its own speed. To begin cutting hair: 1. The hair should be combed in its natural direction. 2.
Repeat around sides and back of head. If you want hair to be even shorter: A) A p p l y more pressure to the head with the attachment comb that is in place. This takes a little practice of course. OR B) Just switch to a shorter attachment comb. Remember, it’s better to leave too much hair than too little. For longer hair on top, use the barber comb and lift hair on the top of the head, cutting over the comb. Or hold the hair between the fingers and cut to desired length.
OUTLINING: Outlining requires no attachments. Comb hair into the desired style. Position the clipper 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, slowly move the clipper over, around and behind the ears. For the back of the neck and the sideburns, hold the clipper upside down (see above) and, holding it against the skin at the length desired, move the clipper downward. STOP. COMB. CHECK.
SHORT CUTS TO PERFECT FLAT TOPS, CREW CUTS, ETC. Always cut from the back of the neck to 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 to the crown, cut the hair against the direction in which it grows. Then even it up with the sides. For a flat top, use the flat comb, not the attachment comb.
USER-MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS CARE OF YOUR CLIPPERS IF YOU DETERMINE THAT BLADE ALIGNMENT IS INCORRECT: MAINTENANCE OF THE BLADE Always apply oil to the blades before, during and after use. This will ensure maximum cutting performance. Hold clipper away from your body in a downward position and apply oil on the front and sides of the cutter blade. Wipe excess oil off with a soft dry cloth. Conair® hair clippers are carefully inspected to insure that the blades are in perfect alignment.

To maintain the blades of your Conair clipper, 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 high-speed clipper. 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.
taper lever up as far as it will go. To increase cutting length, slowly push lever down. If you push to the lowest position, it will leave hair about the same length as the short attachment. Because a different cutting edge is used in each setting, the taper lever lengthens the life of your blades. Packed-in hair can slow down any clipper.
