PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS
● A grooming set includes a rechargeable trimmer with a main blade for hair cutting.
● The smallest cutting length without any guard is 0.5 mm.
● The smallest plastic guard available in the set is 1 mm. 😊
● The set also includes multiple guards in lengths from 3 mm to 16 mm.
● A separate attachment exists for nose and ear trimming.
● The device uses a 1.2 V 600 mAh rechargeable battery.
CUTTING LENGTH DIFFERENCES
● A 0.5 mm cut leaves a very short stubble that is still visible.
● A 1 mm cut leaves slightly longer hair that is still close-cropped.
● A 0 mm cut is only possible with a foil shaver or razor. 🛠️
● The main blade is designed to leave a safe distance from the skin.
● This distance prevents skin irritation and accidental cuts.
● A dedicated head for hair is the same as for beard in most models.
ADJUSTING TO INTERMEDIATE LENGTHS
● An intermediate cut between 0.5 mm and 1 mm requires modification.
● Slight tilting of the 1 mm guard reduces the cutting distance.
● Removing material from the base of the guard shortens it permanently. ✂️
● Using universal guards of 0.7 mm or 0.8 mm achieves the same effect.
● Universal snap-on guards can fit multiple trimmer models.
● Manual measurement with a caliper confirms the effective cutting length.
GUARD SIZE AVAILABILITY
● Guards shorter than 1 mm are not common in standard kits.
● Aftermarket accessories can provide 0.8 mm guard options.
● Compatibility depends on blade width and clip style. 📏
● Pallet-style adjustable blades allow 0.8 mm without a guard.
● Some professional clippers have built-in blade adjustment levers.
● Guard sizes affect both length and uniformity of the cut.
FUNCTIONAL DIFFERENCES BETWEEN HEAD TYPES
● The main cutting head is larger for faster coverage.
● The nose and ear head is smaller with a rounded tip.
● Both heads have fixed blade gaps specific to their function. 🔋
● Hair cutting blades use straight comb teeth alignment.
● Nose trimming blades use circular cutting action.
● Battery capacity influences run-time but not cutting length.
PURPOSE OF LENGTH VARIATION
● Different lengths allow personal style customization.
● Short lengths are common for close-cropped hairstyles.
● Medium and long guards are used for blending and layering. 💡
● Cutting without a guard is used for fading near the neck.
● Guard selection impacts maintenance frequency.
● Shorter cuts require more frequent touch-ups.
OBJECTIVE OF LEARNING
● The central learning objective is to understand hair trimmer cutting lengths and how to achieve precise intermediate sizes between available guard options.
