- Only use hair clippers to cut human hair.
- Only use animal clippers to cut animal hair and animal fur.
- Only use the appliance for its proper use as described in the operating instructions.
- Keep packaging away from children because it can pose a danger (danger of suffocation).
- This appliance can be used by children aged 8 years and above and by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or a lack of experience and/or knowledge, if they have been given supervision or instructions concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved. Children must not play with the appliance. Children may not clean the appliance or perform any user maintenance unless supervised.
- The operating instructions should be retained so that they can be referred to at a later date and should be passed on to all subsequent owners or users of the appliance.
- Only operate the appliance with an alternating current and with the voltage stated on the nameplate.
Warning:
- Do not use the appliance near bath tubs, showers or other water-filled containers. It should also not be used in areas of high humidity. Always disconnect from the mains power supply after use, as water can pose a hazard even when the appliance is switched off.
- Never touch electrical equipment that has fallen into water or reach into water to retrieve it. Disconnect from the mains immediately.
- If the appliance is dropped into water, it may not be used again subsequently.
- It is essential to PREVENT electrical equipment from coming into contact with water or other liquids.
- As an additional safety measure, it is recommended that a tested residual current appliance (RCD) with a residual operating current of not more than 30mA be installed in the bathroom circuit.
- Ask your electrician for advice.
- Disconnect from the mains before cleaning or servicing the appliance.
- Never use the appliance if it is defective, if it has fallen onto the floor or if the mains cable is damaged. A damaged mains cable may only be replaced with an original replacement cable by an authorised service centre or another similarly qualified person in order to avoid hazards.
- Repairs may only be performed at an authorised service centre using original parts. Only specialists properly trained in the handling of electrotechnical appliances may repair electrical equipment.
- Only use accessories recommended by the manufacturer.
- When disconnecting the appliance from the mains, never pull on the mains cable or on the appliance itself.
- Do not hold the appliance by the mains cable to carry it and do not use the cable as a handle.
- Do not wind the mains cable around the appliance.
- Keep the mains cable and appliance away from hot surfaces.
- Make sure that the mains cable is not twisted or kinked when used or stored.
- Never use the appliance in places where aerosol (spray) products are being used or where oxygen is released.
- The blade set can heat up if the appliance is used over a prolonged period. Take regular breaks when using the appliance so that the blade set can cool down.
- Do not expose the appliance to temperatures below 0°C or above +40°C for any length of time. Avoid direct exposure to sunlight.
- The appliance is not intended for commercial use.
- The appliance is safety-insulated and radio-screened. It meets the requirements of the EU Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive 2014/30/EC and Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EC.

Mains operation
-
Oil the blade set (Fig. 6).
-

-
Using the on/off switch, switch off the appliance after use (Fig. 1ⓑ) and disconnect from the mains.
Note for types 1170 and 1400
The audible click that can sometimes be heard when switching on the appliance is a result of the torque of the alternating current drive unit. This is normal and no failure of the appliance. If a continuous noise occurs the appliance is not defective but should be readjusted using the adjusting screw (E) for the available supply voltage (see following section).
Adjusting the blade amplitude (types 1170 and 1400)
The blade amplitude is set at the optimum setting ex-factory. However, the blade amplitude can change as a result of voltage fluctuations. For lower voltage the blade amplitude can be smaller and for higher voltage bigger. If necessary, by changing the setting of the adjusting screw (E), you can adjust the blade amplitude yourself. Use a screw driver to do this.
- Using the on/off switch, switch on the appliance (Fig. 1ⓐ).
- Turn the adjusting screw (E) in a clockwise direction until you hear a loud noise (Fig. 2ⓐ).
- Then turn the adjusting screw anti-clockwise until the loud noise stops (Fig. 2ⓑ).
Cutting length adjustment (types 1170 and 1400)
-
Without the attachment comb, the normal cutting length of the appliance is approx. 0.7 mm.
-
The cutting length can be adjusted between 0.7 and 3 mm, even when the appliance is in use.
-
Slide down the locking switch (Fig. 3ⓑ).
-
By moving the adjustment lever at the side (Fig. 4ⓐ), it is possible to set the cutting length at various pre-set positions (MultiClick).
-
Sliding the locking switch upward (Fig. 3ⓐ) unlocks the setting and restores the normal cutting length of approx. 0.7 mm.
Attaching/removing the attachment comb
- Slide the attachment comb on to the blade set in the direction of the arrow until it reaches the limit stop (Fig. 5ⓐ).
- The attachment comb can be removed by pushing it in the direction of the arrow (Fig. 5ⓑ).
Cutting with attachment combs (types 1170 and 1400)
Depending on the model, various attachment combs are included in the scope of supply. Attachment combs #1 (4.5 mm), #2 (6 mm), #3 (9 mm), #4 (14 mm), #5 (19 mm) and an adjustable attachment comb (4 – 18 mm) are also optionally available as accessories.
- To achieve the desired cutting lengths, the adjustment lever should not be locked (Fig. 4ⓑ) ; to this end, slide the locking switch upward (Fig. 3ⓐ).
Cleaning and care
- Do not immerse the appliance in water!
- After each use, remove the hair clippings from the blade set with the cleaning brush.
- Only wipe the appliance with a soft cloth, which may be dampened slightly.
- Do not use solvents or abrasives!
- For a long-lasting, good cutting performance, it is important to oil the blade set frequently (Fig. 6).
- If the cutting performance deteriorates after long use despite regular cleaning and oiling, the blade set should be replaced.
- Use the blade guard when the appliance is not in use.
- Always store the appliance with the blade guard in place.
Changing the bottom blade and the top blade
-
Switch off the appliance using the on/off switch (Fig. 1ⓑ).
-
Disconnect from the mains power supply.
-
Undo both screws on the blade set; remove the bottom blade and the top blade (Fig. 8).
-
Assembly types 1170 and 1400:
-
Attention! The adjustment lever (B) must not be locked. It will be unlocked by moving the locking switch (E) upward ( Fig. 3ⓐ).
-
Place the top blade on the drive pin.
-
Before assembly, the bottom blade and the top blade should be oiled (Fig. 6).
-
Position bottom blade and reinsert both screws.
-
When assembling, the bottom blade and the top blade should be aligned as follows (Fig. 7):
-
The top blade must be parallel with the bottom blade with a gap of 0.5 – 1.0 mm before tightening the screws.
-
This gap should also be maintained when screwing the bottom blade back into place after thorough cleaning; failure to do so could result in injury.
-
Tighten both screws (Fig. 8).
-
-
Assembly type 1411:
-
Position the top blade on the cam (Fig. 8).
-
Before assembly, the bottom blade and the top blade should be oiled (Fig. 6).
-
For easier assembly, secure the spring ends. To do this, press spring ends down with a pair of tweezers and secure them in the recess of the housing (Fig. 9).
-
Position the top blade with the cam on the housing.
-
Position bottom blade and reinsert both screws.
-
When assembling, the bottom blade and the top blade should be aligned as follows (Fig. 7):
-
The top blade must be parallel with the bottom blade with a gap of 0.1 – 0.5 mm before tightening the screws.
-
This gap should also be maintained when screwing the bottom blade back into place after thorough cleaning; failure to do so could result in injury.
-
Tighten both screws (Fig. 8).
-
Undo the fixing of the spring. With a screwdriver, press both spring ends inwards (Fig. 10).
