4 Make sure that the flat part of the comb attachment is always fully in
contact with the scalp to obtain an even cutting result (fig. 6).
5 Pass the clipper slowly over the crown from different directions to
achieve an even cutting result.
6 Make overlapping passes over the head to ensure that the clipper
catches all the hairs that need to be cut.
7 Comb the hair in the direction of hair growth from time to time so
that the clipper can catch the hair more easily.
8 To achieve a good result with curly, sparse or long hair, you can use
a comb to guide the hair towards the clipper.
B
We advise you to regularly remove clipped hair from the comb while clipping.
Graduation
The Philishave hair clipper not only allows you to cut the hair evenly at the
same length all over the head, it also enables you to achieve a smooth
transition from longer hair on top of the head to shorter hair on the back
and sides of the head.
1 Start clipping at the setting for maximum hair length (i.e. position
41 mm for HQC333 / 21 mm for HQC222).
2 Then choose a shorter setting and cut the hair on all parts of the
head except the top, where you want the hair to be longer.
3 You can repeat this procedure until the hair on every part of the
head has the desired length.
Precise contouring without comb attachment
You can use the clipper without comb attachment to contour the neckline
and the area around the ears.
Be careful when you are clipping without comb attachment, for the clipper
will remove every hair it touches.
1 Remove the comb attachment by pulling it off the clipper.
2 Before contouring the hairline round the ears, comb the hair ends
over the ear.
3 Bend the person's ear to get it out of the way.
4 Tilt the clipper in such a way that only one edge of the cutting
element touches the hair ends (fig. 8).
5 Only cut the hair ends. The hairline should be close to the ear (fig. 9).
6 To contour the nape hairline and the sideburns, turn the clipper and
make downward strokes (fig. 10).
7 Move slowly and smoothly.
8 Just follow the natural hairline (fig. 11).
Cutting over styling comb or fingers
This technique can be used to obtain hair lengths over 41 mm ( HQC333)
and 21 mm (HQC222). Bear in mind that this technique is difficult to
master and should only be applied by experienced users.
1 Make sure the comb attachment is not attached to the appliance.
2 Comb a small section of hair upwards. Lift the hair with a styling

comb or hold it between your fingers until only the length that needs
to be cut sticks out (fig. 12).

4 Continue this procedure and comb frequently to remove cut hair and
to check for unevenly cut sections.
