Instructions for Use  
To reduce the risk of electric shock:  
1. Do not reach for a clipper that has fallen  
into water. Unplug immediately.  
Like many new products, your Norelco Hair Clipper  
may take a little getting used to. If you are using a hair  
clipper for the first time, or if youve used a different  
brand, take a moment to familiarize yourself with your  
new Norelco Hair Clipper.  
2. Do not use while bathing or in a shower.  
3. Do not place or store clipper where it can  
fall or be pulled into a tub or sink. Do not  
place in or drop into water or other liquid.  
4. Always unplug clipper from the electrical  
outlet immediately after using, except when  
clipper is (re)charging.  
10. To prevent possible damage to the cord, do not  
wrap cord around clipper.  
11. Never put clipper in direct sunlight or store at a  
temperature above 140°F.  
12. Do not use in the presence of infectious disease.  
The comfort-hold design allows for ease of use making  
the Norelco Hair Clipper perfect for quick trims or a  
more thorough hair cut.When you first use your Hair  
Clipper, you may want to begin at the highest (longest)  
setting (#7) to prevent trimming off too much hair. For  
best results, comb hair often as you trim–this will help  
to keep sides, bangs and neckline even.As you become  
more familiar with your Norelco Hair Clipper, you will  
want to try the different hair length settings... for pre-  
cise, even trims and cuts.  
5. Unplug clipper before cleaning.
