Trimming tips
- Always comb your beard or moustache with a ne
comb before you start trimming.
- When trimming for the rst time, start by using the
comb with the maximum trimming length setting to
familiarize yourself with the appliance.
- Since hairs do not all grow in the same direction,
you may want to try dierent trimming positions (i.e.
upwards, downwards, or across). Practice is best for
optimum results.
- Always make smooth and gentle movements and be
sure the surface of the comb always stays in contact
with your skin.
- When too many hairs have accumulated on the
appliance, remove the hairs before and/or during
use, for best trimming results (see 'Cleaning').

to trim your beard and mustache in your preferred style.

'Attaching and detaching the trimming comb').

desired hair length setting (Fig. 11). The settings on
the wheel correspond to the remaining hair length
after trimming. The selected hair length setting in
millimeters is shown in the center of the wheel.
3 Switch the appliance on (see 'Switching the
appliance on and o').
4 To trim in the most eective way, move the comb
against the direction of hair growth (Fig. 12). Make
sure that the surface of the comb always stays in
contact with the skin.
5 Shake o cut hair from the comb every few strokes.
If a lot of hair has accumulated in the comb, switch
o the appliance, remove the comb and blow and/
or shake o the hairs. The selected hair length
setting does not change when the comb is removed.
