Moser Haircut Machine
Hair clipper Moser It is very popular among consumers due to the fact that any of its models have a number of advantages in terms of durability and reliability. Many people prefer to buy a good thing for a higher price once and use it for a long time than to buy a cheap product that can quickly go out of order and become unusable.
The advantages of the company's products
The German firm Moser has long established itself in the market as the official manufacturer of hair clippers. Founded in 1946, it still manufactures products of impeccable quality with the best technical characteristics. Devices are simple and clear in operation.
They can be used by amateurs, who can cut their own households themselves, or by professional hairdressers.
Varieties
For simple haircuts at home, you can use a simplified mini-version of the vibrating type machine. Its engine works with a special electromagnetic coil. At the start, a characteristic click is always heard, setting the lever of the motor in motion, which means that it is ready to start operation.
The power of such a device is small, a maximum of 15 watts with the possibility of continuous operation for 10-20 minutes, then automatic shutdown occurs. In addition, the machines of this type often have an increased level of noise and vibration, but the price is the smallest. Therefore, they are willingly purchased for use at home, and some models even have the function of replacing knives - for example, the Moser 1234, which is also used by specialists in beauty salons.
Rechargeable
In everyday life, these models are often called wireless, but contrary to popular belief, most of them work both on battery and on mains using the principle of mixed power. Advantages of such machines - in their compactness, low weight and the fact that they are almost silent when used. Their power is also small (12 W), so they are used by hairdressers, mainly for edging ready-made haircuts.
If it is a question of long continuous work with this device, it is important to take care that there is always a spare battery on hand. As a rule, such machines have a built-in charge amount indicator, which makes it possible to control the remaining time of their work.
The main disadvantage of battery packs is that if the battery is discharged, cutting becomes impossible in full force: power and speed fall even in the event that the device will work from the network. This is due to a certain feature in the form of the so-called "power memory", which the battery device has - the indicators do not change for some time.
Therefore, at the beginning of the use of the new machine it is strongly recommended to charge and discharge the battery completely several times to maintain the optimum speed level.
There are two ways to charge the battery:
- network and using a cord with a plug into the outlet;
- The battery is installed on a special base in the form of a stand.
Modern models of such machines are equipped with powerful nickel-based batteries in the form of nickel-metal hydride and nickel-cadmium cells, which allows the instruments to operate continuously for much longer.
Rotary
Thanks to the rotary AC motor, these cars are the most reliable and powerful (from 20 to 55 W).Withstand heavy loads, designed for long term use. However, the rotary engine has the ability to heat up so there is equipment in the form of a special cooling device.
Of course, due to the use of such mechanisms, the model weighs much more battery, but this is its only and small drawback. With the help of the latching-clamping mechanism, the knives can also be changed here, while it is necessary that the device be in the switched-on state during the process of changing them.
Equipment
Usually the package includes:
- one universal or several standard attachments;
- stainless steel knives, with or without sputtering;
- cap to protect the knives;
- branded scissors and comb;
- adapter;
- stand;
- bag for nozzles;

Instructions for use
How to cut?
With a great desire and a minimum of necessary skills, you can learn how to make uncomplicated male haircuts using a typewriter at home.
Classic men's haircut
Before clipping you need to wash and dry the hair, then choose a nozzle of the desired length. To create a classic haircut is usually chosen nozzle 4 mm. The haircut begins at the bottom of the head, then the machine is fed by the teeth to the hairline and moves upward to the crown with smooth movements. The device should be moved along a flat line up, not “rounding”. Each zone is worked out against the growth of hair to cut a neat haircut.
Then the area around the ears is treated. Whiskey must be clipped also against the growth of hair with smooth movements from the bottom up. The extreme line is drawn as follows with the help of the blades: the nozzle is removed and the knives are rearranged to their original position.
Edging: the machine made out the whiskey and the contours of the haircut.After that, you can go to the hair on the top of the head, choosing a control strand and focusing on the previously trimmed length. Helping the comb, you should cut the hair at a slight angle with a slight lengthening. By the same principle, the entire remaining zone is processed.
You can give a hairstyle any desired shape using wax or light styling.
"Polubox"
Strands on top are trimmed with scissors, then with the help of a large nozzle (most often it is No. 9) you need to walk along the edges of the machine and the back of your head. "Remove" the hair should be gradually, with smooth movements of the device from the bottom up, passing in a circle.
The edges should be negated, that is, almost to zero, with the observance of smooth transitions. To create them, you need to change the nozzles on a simple principle for beginners: first 9, then 3 and again 9 and 3 - and so continue from the bottom up from the nape towards the crown. It is important to ensure that there are no stairs and unnecessary roughness.
The edges in any case should be shorter, so the old attachment (No. 3) is removed. Then you need to continue processing without attachments, by pressing on the “foot” of the machine, so that the lower blades come forward. This is the easiest version of the "halfbox".
It is important to take into account every millimeter so that at the end everything looks as short and neat as possible.
The top is trimmed according to this principle: a comb is taken in the left hand, “pushed” into the hair with advance, and the hair is cut further with scissors. It is important to always remember that all movements must be carried out exclusively against hair growth.
Raise the hair should be perpendicular, always helping yourself comb. Thus, smoothly and gradually move towards the bang, removing the angularity of the comb and scissors along the way and moving all the time in a circle.
It is better not to take the hair on your fingers, but immediately grab them with a comb, so that everything will work as smoothly as possible. Toward the end trim the protruding hairs, “tailored” haircut to the perfect level.
In conclusion, smooth the edges of the head with the side parts, using a machine with a minimum extension of the blades and trim the finished haircut with thinning scissors.
Grooming cats at home
A domestic cat should be cut if, for one reason or another, mats have formed in its wool, causing pain and discomfort to the animal. It happens that the owners can not always find an approach to their pets to brush them regularly. This is also one of the reasons to turn to a good animal grooming specialist or to master the technique of grooming yourself.
Since the company Moser in the range of its products and offers machines designed specifically for grooming pets, you can choose a good device with a minimum level of vibration and noise, with which you can spend the most gentle haircut, without damaging the skin.
The main thing is to master certain simple skills of using the device and be patient: for the first time at least two or even three hours can be spent on wool processing.
You can cut a cat even if it sheds heavily at a certain time of the year. Also, haircut does not hurt in the summer, in the heat, especially if the animal is fluffy or has very thick hair. If a cat walks freely on the street, there is always the risk that it may get dirty with fuel oil, paint or dirt. In this case, not exactly do without a haircut.
It is important to remember that in no case should cats cut off mustache and hair on their heads. An animal may lose its spatial orientation, and the presence of hair in the ears protects them from excessive dust.
It is better to have a haircut with someone's help, especially for the first time. Before starting the procedure, it is recommended to cut the pet's claws so that it does not scratch the owner, and also put a fixing plastic collar around his neck.
If there are a lot of mats in the cat's fur, they should first be cut off with scissors and only then start cutting with the machine, starting from the back and sides.It is desirable that the device was not too noisy, so as not to frighten the animal. Before starting the process, you can even show it to the cat by turning it away from her so that she gets a little used to the sound.
It is necessary to cut the pet with the nozzle in order not to injure it. The best option in this case - the nozzle 3 mm. In the armpit area, the nozzle changes from 3 mm to 2 mm due to the fact that the wool in these areas is especially soft. In order to reduce the stress of the animal, it is possible to carry out all manipulations intermittently, giving it a rest.
On the belly, wool is clipped last and very slowly. The main thing - do not hurt the nipples and delicate skin. If you wish, you can not remove the hair on the tail, remembering that for the first time a cat may not recognize its tail after shearing and even pounce on it. It is better to leave some hair on the tail in the form of a brush.
Cutting an animal without special need is recommended no more than 2-3 times a year, and two or three days before the haircut it is better to wash it with a special soft shampoo.
How to care?
The main thing in caring for a hair clipper is caring for the knife block. This must be done regularly so that he continues to work as long as possible and does not fail at the most inopportune moment. It is believed that the machine should be cleaned after every 5-6 haircuts, but experienced hairdressers strongly recommend taking care of it after each procedure: the knives will heat up less and wear less. Before starting the process, make sure that the blade unit is sufficiently cold.
As you know, there are cars with removable and non-removable knife blocks. If the unit is not removable, do not try to disassemble it. In this case, cleaning is the easiest. Any knife is cleaned either with a brush included in the instrument package or with an ordinary toothbrush with quick, jerky, but neat movements. The unit should be thoroughly cleaned on all sides so that there is no hair or dust left before moving on to lubrication.
A few words about removable knife blocks. In principle, the technique of cleaning them is also simple, but with the difference that there are models of machines, the processing of which will have to use a screwdriver. Cleaning is carried out in the direction from the base of the upper knife to the edge, then the lower blade alternately shifts one way or the other and is brushed in the same way.
After cleaning the knife block, be sure to lubricate with oil intended specifically for machines and scissors. Another type of oil is not recommended, so as not to damage the metal. The manufacturer in this case is unprincipled, it is the purpose of the liquid used that plays the decisive role.
You need to start greasing the knives from the teeth, then walk along the sides.
Before lubrication, it is important to consider one important point: the blades are set so that the bottom comes out from under the top at a distance of 0.5 mm. This is especially true for edging knives, so the lubricant is made most carefully in order to avoid minor traumatization of the skin during further work.
When lubricating a removable knife block, the same technique is used as when cleaning it. When choosing machines of this type it will be better if the blades are removed as simply and easily as possible to avoid breakage.
