[. . . ] 2 Comb the hair ends over the ears before you start to contour the hairline. 10 ENGLISH 4 Tilt the appliance in such a way that only one edge of the cutting element touches the hair ends. 6 To contour the neckline and the sideburns, turn the appliance and make downward strokes. Clipping with the thinning comb (THINNING) Make sure you use the right comb. If you use the hair clipping comb (REGULAR) instead of the hair thinning comb (THINNING), the appliance will clip all hair to the same length. It also allows you to create a smooth transition between two different hair lengths. -- The thinning comb cuts only half of the hair that enters the comb, which results in a natural look. Thinning an entire haircut We advise you not to use the thinning comb for very short haircuts. 1 Slide the hair-thinning comb into the guiding grooves of the appliance (‘click’). Make sure that you slide the arms of the comb properly into the grooves on both sides. 2 Set the thinning comb to a lower setting than the one you just used for the regular hair clipping comb to create the haircut. Note: How much lower the setting for the thinning comb should be depends on your hairstyle and hair length. Never use the thinning comb at a setting that is lower than half the setting you used to create the haircut. For example,  if you used the large clipping comb at 30mm to create the haircut, do not use the thinning comb at a setting lower than 15mm. ENGLISH 3 Slide the on/off slide upwards to switch on the appliance. Make sure that the thinning comb only touches each spot once, otherwise it cuts all the hair to the set hair length. 11 Creating a smooth transition between two hair lengths If you have cut your hair to two different lengths, you can use the thinning comb to create a smooth transition between these two lengths. 1 Slide the hair-thinning comb into the guiding grooves of the appliance (‘click’). Make sure that you slide the arms of the comb properly into the grooves on both sides. 2 Set the thinning comb to a hair length setting that is halfway between the two hair length settings you used to create the haircut. For instance, set the thinning comb to 15mm if you have cut the top part of the haircut to a length of 20mm and the bottom part of the haircut to a length of 10mm. 3 Move the thinning comb upwards through the transition between the two lengths.
