It also causes the difference in fade or blend guide lines lengths to be smaller. Caution should be taken using zero gapped clippers due to less room for error. You should never allow the moving blade and the fixed blade to be even(true zero gap). This will cause abrasions and cuts due to the moving blade rubbing the skin. Novice or people who are self groomers should start with the manufacturer's settings. If factory settings aren't satisfactory only then should you zero gap your clippers. 0.2 mm is the minimum gap between blade tips I would recommend. see less Zero gap is the adjusting of the two blade tips for the purpose of quicker and sharper lines when edging (lining).

Do you? | Report I am not a expert, the machine comes with a bunch of different attachments that cut at various lenghts. without those there is no adjustment of the blades that I am aware of. G.
