The taper lever allows you to change the closeness of your cut between guide comb lengths. Move the lever up for the closest cut, and down for a longer cut.

If your blades ever become jammed with hair, simply move the lever up and down several times. This action will help free the blades.

Then brush the blades with the small brush accessory to remove hair.
