5. keep the cord away from heated surfaces.  
6. never operate the appliance with the air openings blocked. Keep the air  
openings free of lint, hair, and the like.  
7. never drop or insert any object into any opening.  
8. do not use outdoors or operate where aerosol (spray) products are being  
used or where oxygen is being administered.  
9. do not use this appliance with a damaged or broken comb.  
10. to reduce the risk of electric shock, the clipper is equipped with a polarized  
plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will only fit into the polarized  
outlet one way. In the event the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse  
the plug. If the plug still will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a  
qualified electrician. Do not change the plug in any way.  
general Safety rules  
1. do not abuse the power cord. Never use the Power Cord to carry the clippers  
or pull the Plug from an outlet. Keep the Power Cord away from heat, oil, sharp  
edges, or moving parts. Replace damaged Power Cords immediately. Damaged  
Power Cords increase the risk of electric shock.  
2. Stay alert. Do not use while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or  
medication. A moment of inattention while operating this appliance can result in  
serious personal injury.  
3. avoid accidental starting. Be sure the Power Switch is off before plugging in.  
4. disconnect the power cord plug from the power source before making any  
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the clipper. Such preventive  
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the clipper accidentally. Always unplug  
the clipper from its electrical outlet before performing any inspection, maintenance,  
or cleaning procedures.  
5. Store idle clippers out of reach of children and other untrained persons.  
Clippers are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.  
6. this product is intended for household use only.  
7. Maintain labels and nameplates on the clipper. These carry important  
information. If unreadable or missing, contact Harbor Freight Tools for a  
replacement.  
8. People with pacemakers should consult their physician(s) before use.  
Electromagnetic fields in close proximity to heart pacemaker could cause  
pacemaker interference or pacemaker failure.  
9. WARNING: Handling the cord on this product will expose you to lead, a chemical  
known to the State of California to cause cancer, and birth defects or other  
reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.  
(California Health & Safety Code § 25249.5, et seq.)

OperatiOn inStructiOnS  
blade alignment  
The Clipper comes oiled and aligned from the factory. Blades must be realigned  
after they have been removed for cleaning or replacement.  
1. To realign blades, match the upper and lower blades teeth up, point for point. The  
end of the top blade teeth should be approximately 1.2mm (just under 1/16”) back  
from the bottom blade.  
2. If blade alignment is incorrect: add a few drops of oil to the blades, turn the  
Clipper on for a few moments, then turn off and unplug. Loosen screws slightly  
and readjust. Tighten screws after blade is aligned.  
Blades should be oiled every few haircuts to maintain the Clipper in peak  
condition.  
Do not use hair oil, grease, or any solvent on the Clipper. The solvent will  
evaporate and leave a residue that can slow down the blade’s motion.  
power Screw  
The power screw, located on the side of the Clipper, allows the power level of  
the Clipper to be adjusted. The power screw has been pre-set at the factory,  
however, if the voltage in your home is low, the Clipper may need to be  
readjusted.  
1. To adjust, use a screwdriver to turn the power screw clockwise until the arm strikes  
the coil. When the arm touches the coil it will begin to make noise.  
2. Slowly turn power screw counterclockwise until the noise stops. This is the  
maximum power setting.  
note: DO NOT remove power screw.  
blade lever  
The Blade lever allows the operator to change the closeness setting of the cut  
without an additional attachment comb.  
At the top position, the blades will give the closest cut and leave the hair the  
shortest. Pushing the lever downward increases the cutting length.  
If hair jams the blades, switch the Blade Lever up and down rapidly to clear the  
blades.  
For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353.

Before turning the Clipper off, rapidly move the Blade Lever from close cut to  
longer cut twice. This will clear trimmings from the Clipper.  
cutting hair  
Attachment Comb #1 leaves 3mm (1/8 inch) hair length.  
Attachment Comb #2 leaves 6mm (1/4 inch) hair length.  
Attachment Comb #3 leaves 9mm (3/8 inch) hair length.  
Attachment Comb #4 leaves 12mm (1/2 inch) hair length.  
The Comb’s sizes are marked on the outside middle surface. To apply a Comb,  
hold it with the teeth upwards and slide it onto and along the Clipper blade until  
the front of the comb is seated firmly against the clipper blade.  
1. Inspect the Clipper, making sure it is free of oil between the cutting blade teeth.  
Turn the unit on to distribute the oil and to make sure it runs smoothly. Wipe off  
any excess oil. This should be done after each use. Untwist the power cord to  
avoid tangling.  
2. For good visibility and easy access, seat the person getting their hair cut with their  
head at eye level of the person cutting the hair.  
3. Comb hair so it is tangle free and arrange in style desired.  
4. Place a towel around the neck and shoulders of the person getting the haircut.  
5. Attach Comb #1 or #2  
Leave hair dry to more easily control the amount of hair being cut.  
Cut hair slowly and in short strokes.  
Only cut a little hair at a time, more can be trimmed later if necessary.  
Comb hair frequently back into the intended style.  
6. Hold the Clipper, cutting edge up, and begin the haircut starting at the middle of  
the base of the neck (see diagram 1).  
7. With the Comb teeth pointed upwards, lift the Clipper upwards and outwards  
through the hair, trimming a small amount at a time.  
8. As you cut, lift the Clipper head towards you while continuing to cut the back area  
from the bottom of the neck to the top of the ears.  
For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353.

8. Change to Comb #3 or #4 and, working upwards, cut the hair on the back and top  
of the head (see diagram 2 & diagram 3).  
9. Using Comb #3 or #4, cut hair on top of head from back to front, against the  
direction in which the hair normally grows. In some cases, this may require  
changing direction (see diagram 4).  
10. Comb #1 or #2 can be used to achieve very close “crew” cuts.  
11. For longer hair, use the provided comb to lift the hair away from the top of the  
head. Cut over the comb with the hair lifted to desired length (see diagram 5 &  
diagram 6).  
12. Use the taper level without an attachment comb for close trimming around the  
base and side of the neck, and around the ears.  
For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353.

13. To cut the sideburns, change Comb to #1 or #2. To produce a clean, straight line  
for the sideburns, reverse the Clipper by turning the bottom side upwards (see  
diagram 7).  
14. Press the Clipper at a right angle to the head, with the tips of the blades lightly  
touching the skin and work downwards to obtain a clean, razor-like cut.  
15. Comb through hair to check for uneven strands and ensure an even cut.  
Short tapered styles  
1. Starting with Comb #4, cut from the back of the head to the top of the head. Hold  
the attachment comb flat against the head and slowly move the Clippers through  
the hair (see diagram 8).  
2. Use the same procedure from the lower side of the head to the upper side of the  
head (as illustrated).  
3. Cut the hair against the direction in which it grows, from the front to the top of the  
head, and then level the cut with the sides.  
4. To create a “flat top” look, the hair must be cut over the top of a flat comb rather  
than with an attachment Comb.  
5. Use the closer cutting attachments to taper the hair down to the neckline, as  
desired.  
inSpectiOn, Maintenance, and cleaning  
Make sure the power Switch of the clipper is in its “OFF”  
position and that the clipper is unplugged from its electrical  
outlet before performing any inspection, maintenance, or cleaning  
procedures.  
BEFORE EACH USE, inspect the general condition of the clipper. Check for loose  
screws, misalignment or binding of moving parts, cracked or broken parts, dam-  
aged electrical wiring, and any other condition that may affect its safe operation. If  
abnormal noise or vibration occurs, have the problem corrected before further use.  
do not use damaged equipment.
