USING ATTACHMENT COMBS
(Some models do not have combs and sizes will vary by kit)
You can set the blades for a longer cut by attaching any of the snap-on attachment
combs made for your clipper.The attachment combs mount easily–they snap on and
off (Figures A& B).These attachment combs guide hair into the clipper blades and
give you precise control of hair lengths.The length of trim is indicated on the comb.
Different blade angles in relation to the skin,thickness and texture of the hair will
vary the cutting length.Use the chart to find the approximate lengths of cut.
CLIPPER BLADE ADJUSTMENT
Your Andis adjustable clipper blade set is easy to adjust.From coarse to fine cuts,all
that is needed is a flick of the adjustment lever with your thumb. In the upright
position, the blades are set for the finest, or shortest cuts (Figure C).
