Optimizing the lifetime of the
rechargeable battery
When you have charged the appliance for the first
time, we advise you to use it until the battery is
completely empty. Continue to use the appliance
until the motor almost stops running during a
session. Then recharge the battery. Follow this
procedure at least twice a year.
- Slide the on/off button up to switch the
product on or off (Fig. 4).
Using the appliance
Note: Switch off and clean the appliance after each
use.
Always comb the beard and/or moustache with a
fine comb before you start trimming.
Be careful when you trim for the first time. Do
not move the trimmer too fast. Make smooth
and gentle movements.
Trimming with comb
Note: When you trim for the first time, start at the
highest length setting to familiarize yourself with
the appliance.
Use the trimming comb attached to the cutting
element to trim your beard and moustache in your
preferred style. Turn the zoom wheel to choose
from 11 length settings ranging from 0.5mm to
10mm (1/32in. to 13/32in.).
1 Slide the trimming comb straight into the
guiding groove of the appliance (Fig. 5).
2 Turn the zoom wheel to the desired setting (Fig.
6). The desired hair length setting is shown in
the center of the zoom wheel.
3 Switch on the appliance.
4 To trim most effectively, move the appliance
against the hair growth direction. Make sure
that the surface of the comb always stays in
contact with the skin.
Note: Since all hairs do not grow in the same
direction, you may want to try different
trimming positions (i.e. upwards, downwards, or
across). Practice is best for optimum results.
5 Regularly remove cut hair from the comb. If a lot
of hair has accumulated in the comb, remove it
from the appliance and blow and/or shake out
the hairs (Fig. 7). The selected hair length setting
does not change when the comb is removed.
6 Switch off and clean the appliance after each
use.
Trimming for 'stubble look'
1 Be certain trimming comb is attached to the
appliance and use setting 0.5mm (1/32in.) to
create a 'stubble look' trim (Fig. 8).
Trimming without comb
Use the trimmer without the trimming comb to trim
the edges and single hairs.
Be careful when you trim without the comb as
the cutting unit will remove every hair it
touches.
1 Pull the trimming guard straight off the
appliance (Fig. 10).
2 Switch the appliance on.
3 Make well-controlled movements. Touch the
hair lightly with the trimmer (Fig. 9).
Cleaning
Never use scouring pads, abrasive cleaning agents
or aggressive liquids such as gasoline or acetone
to clean the product.
Never dry the trimmer teeth with a towel or tissue,
as this may damage the trimmer teeth.
Caution: Never use scouring pads, abrasive
cleaning agents or aggressive liquids such as
petrol or acetone to clean the appliance.
1 Switch off the appliance and disconnect it from
the power outlet.
2 Wipe the housing of the appliance with a dry
cloth.
Caution: Never immerse the appliance in water,
or rinse it under the tap. Only the cutting unit
can be rinsed under the tap.
3 Remove the comb (Fig. 10) and clean it with the
cleaning brush and/or rinse it under the tap.
4 Remove the cutting unit by pushing against the
teeth of the cutting unit (Fig. 11) and clean it with
the brush or rinse it under the tap.
