The technical specifications for the REMINGTON HC70AU are as follows:

The blades of the REMINGTON HC70AU must be manually lubricated to prevent deterioration over time. Blades should never be rinsed under water. Correct alignment is essential for effective cutting and can be adjusted using these steps:

Step 1. Ensure the end of the top blade is closer to the body of the hair clipper than the bottom blade. This prevents the clipper from cutting too close or allowing the moving blade to touch the skin.

Step 2. The bottom blade should be aligned as closely as possible to the center of the top blade.

Step 3. If the blades are not correctly aligned, turn the clipper on for a few moments, then turn it off and unplug it. Loosen the two screws slightly and manually adjust the bottom blade until it is aligned. Re-tighten the screws.

Step 4. Ensure the hair clipper is running smoothly with a slight vibration before attempting to cut any hair.

Follow these procedures to prepare for a haircut with the REMINGTON HC70AU:

1. Make sure your clipper is operating correctly.

2. Place a towel around the neck of the person whose hair is being trimmed. The person should be seated so the top of their head is at your eye level.

3. Comb the hair as it is normally styled, ensuring all knots and tangles are removed.

4. Hold the hair clipper in the palm of one hand with your thumb resting firmly on the top for comfortable control. While it can be used left or right-handed, right-handed use allows for easier access to the taper lever.

5. Ensure the hair is dry. Hair clippers perform best on dry hair, making it easier to see how much hair is being cut.

To attach a guide: Select an appropriate length (marked with 3mm, 6mm, 9mm, 12mm, or 16mm). Hold the comb with the teeth up and slide the attachment firmly onto the bottom clipper blade.

To remove a guide: Use the latch at the back of the comb to lever it away from the back of the hair clipper. Do not grasp the comb from the front, as this may cause the guides to bend or break.

Follow these tips for the best results with your REMINGTON HC70AU:

Allow the clipper to cut through the hair without forcing it at a fast rate to avoid a pulling sensation.

Use short strokes when cutting and start with a long trimming guide. You can switch to a closer guide later if needed.

Start at the back and around the ears to define length, then work up to the crown of the head in layers.

To cut the top of the head, hold hair between your fingers and cut small amounts with scissors or a long trimming guide, moving from front to back.

Remove trimming guides to carefully trim around the ears and the nape of the neck. Angle the clipper around each ear and avoid pressing too hard.

Use the taper lever to adjust the closeness of the cut when not using trimming guides, or use it to blend between hair layers when guides are attached.

When not in use, unplug the REMINGTON HC70AU and store it out of reach of children in a safe, dry location. Never wrap the cord around the appliance, as this causes the cord to wear prematurely and break. Handle the cord carefully to ensure a long life, avoiding any jerking, twisting, or straining, especially at the plug connections. Do not store the appliance in temperatures exceeding 60 degrees Celsius (140 degrees Fahrenheit).
