Philips HC3100/13 - Mode d'emploi

Tips & tricks

- To clip in the most effective way, move the

appliance against the direction of hair growth.

- Since hair grows in different directions, you

need to move the appliance in different
directions (upwards, downwards or across).

- Make overlapping passes over the head to

ensure that the appliance catches all hairs that
need to be cut.

- Make sure that the flat part of the hair clipping

comb is fully in contact with the scalp to obtain
an even clipping result.

- If you wish to shape contours, tilt the appliance.

- Regularly remove cut hair from the hair clipping

comb. If a lot of hair has accumulated in the
comb, remove it from the appliance and blow
and/or shake the hair out of it.

Detaching and attaching click-on combs

1 To detach a comb from the cutting element,

push the hook at the back of the comb
upwards, then unhook it at the

front (Fig. 4)

.

2 To attach a comb onto the cutting element,

hook it onto the front of the cutting element
and push it down at the back

(‚click‘) (Fig. 5)

.

Preparing for use

Use the adjustment lever on the left side of the
appliance to set the desired hair length. Move the
adjustment lever upwards to reduce the cutting
length and move it downwards to increase the
cutting length. When you hear a click, you have
reached the next length

setting (Fig. 6)

.

Fine adjustment

You can reduce the cutting length manually to
clip even closer to the skin, but make sure that
the cutter does not emerge above the guard to
avoid cutting yourself.

1 To reduce the cutting length manually, loosen

the screws by turning the screwdriver a quarter

turn (Fig. 7)

.

Make sure that you only loosen the screws
instead of completely unscrewing them.

2 Push the guard upwards until it is at the

required length

setting (Fig. 8)

.

3 Tighten the screws.

Note: When you loosen or tighten the screws,
the guard can move. To keep it in position, hold
the sides of the guard in place while you tighten
the

screws (Fig. 9)

.

4 The cutter should not emerge above the guard.

To check this, switch on the appliance and
study the cutter and guard closely, preferably
from the back. If the cutter emerges above the
guard, adjust it as described above.

Switching the appliance on and off

1 To switch on the appliance, push the on/off-

slide

upwards (Fig. 10)

.

2 To switch off the appliance, push the on/off-

slide

downwards (Fig. 10)

.

Clipping with click-on comb

1 Place the desired comb onto the appliance

(‘click’) (Fig. 5)

.

2 Switch on the

appliance (Fig. 10)

.

3 Place the comb on the scalp and move the

appliance through the hair slowly.
