What exactly is this precision comb?
The precision comb is the short comb of the QC5500 series home hair clipper. It is designed for the shortest haircuts – a range of 0.5-3 mm in fine steps of 0.5 mm. This results in a uniform “buzz” haircut along the entire length of the head, even in hard-to-reach areas.
This is a separate comb from the standard comb that covers a longer range. This hair clipper works with two combs: the precision comb for short lengths, and a regular comb for longer lengths. Together they complete the entire hair cutting range of the device.
The comb itself is a snap-on accessory – it doesn’t require disassembly or replacing any internal components. You slide it onto the cutting head until it clicks, and that’s it.

✂️ How to use the precision comb correctly?
Sliding the comb onto the cutting head is simple – line it up against your head and press until you hear a locking click. Then select the desired length using the machine’s adjustment wheel.
For a short “buzz” haircut: 0.5-1 mm setting. Suitable for a short military haircut and a very uniform look.
For a regular short haircut: 1.5-3 mm setting. The fine steps of 0.5 mm allow you to adjust the length with great precision.
For self-haircuts at home: The machine's 180° rotating head also reaches the back of the head. The comb maintains the same length at any angle, so no help is needed to get a uniform haircut.
For maintenance and precision: Rinse the comb under running water after each use and dry it before the next attachment. Dry hair residue between the teeth is the number one cause of the comb “jumping” and creating uneven length.
💡 Tip from the experts
💡 Tip from Daniel, our grooming expert: For a successful self-haircut at home, always start with a length setting higher than you think you need – you can always cut it shorter, but you can’t regrow hair. Another point that many people miss: A cracked or bent precision comb creates streaks in the haircut that look like a barber’s mistake, even if the blades are perfectly sharp. If the plastic cracks – it’s time to replace it.
