After the outline was done, remove the callipers and open the cutter head to the 2.0 position. The cutter head will be retracted. In the 2mm area, push the cutter head close to the scalp. Pay attention to the angle. Don't run down, don't run down, and don't run too high. At the appropriate angle, slowly connect the lower part of the two fingers and make a transition from 3mm to 2mm.
