• Charging, recharging, or using the product at temperatures below 40°F (4,5°C) or higher than 95°F (35°C) adversely affects the lifespan of the battery.
• If the product is subjected to a major change in temperature, pressure, or humidity, let the product acclimatize for 30 minutes before use.
• Charge the product fully before you use it for the first time and after a long period of disuse.

1. Make sure the product is switched off.

2. Put the small plug in the product (Fig.2) and put the power plug in the wall outlet.

3. After charging, remove the power plug from the wall outlet and pull the small plug out of the product.

Optimizing The Lifetime Of The Rechargeable Battery

When you have charged the product for the first time, we advise you to use it until the battery is completely empty. Continue to use the product until the motor almost stops running during a session. Then recharge the battery. Follow this procedure at least twice a year.
Note: An adapter plug may be necessary for cord usage in some foreign countries. Use an attachment plug adapter of the proper configuration for a power outlet.

Battery Charge Indicator

• When the product is charging, the battery charge indicator flashes green (Fig.3).

• When the battery is fully charged, the battery charge indicator lights up green continuously.

Using The Product

Always check the product and all accessories before using. Do not use the product or any accessory if it is damaged, as this may cause injury. Always replace a damaged part with one of the original types.
Note: Switch off and clean the product and attachments after each use.
Note: This product can only be used without a cord. Make sure the product is charged before use.

• Use this product for its intended household use as described in this manual.
• For hygienic reasons, the product should only be used by one person.
• Trimming is easier when the skin and hair are dry.
• Always comb your beard and/or mustache 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.

Switching The Product On And Off

• Press the on/off button once to switch the product on or off (Fig.4).

Trimming With Guard

Note: When you trim for the first time, start at the highest length setting to familiarize yourself with the product.
Use the trimming guard attached to the cutting element to trim your beard and mustache 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 guard straight into the guiding groove of the product (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 the product on.

4. To trim most effectively, move the product against the hair growth direction. Make sure that the surface of the guard 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 guard. If a lot of hair has accumulated in the guard, remove it from the product and blow and/or shake out the hair (Fig.7). The selected hair length setting does not change when the guard is removed.
   

6. Switch off and clean the product after each use.

Trimming For “Stubble Look”

1. Be certain the trimming guard is on the product and use setting 0.5mm (1/32in.) to create a ‘stubble look‘ trim (Fig.8).

Trimming Without Guard

Use the trimmer without the trimming guard to trim the edges and single hairs. Be careful when you trim without the guard as the cutting unit will remove every hair it touches.

1. Pull the trimming guard straight off the product (Fig.9).
2. Switch the product on. Make well-controlled movements. Touch the hair lightly with the trimmer (Fig.10).
   

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.

1. Switch the product off and disconnect it from the power outlet.

2. Wipe the housing of the product with a dry cloth.
   Caution: Never immerse the product in water, or rinse it under the tap. Only the cutting unit and guard can be rinsed under the tap.

3. Remove the guard 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 a brush or rinse it under the tap.

5. Carefully shake off excess water and let the air dry completely.

6. Insert the lug of the cutting unit into the guiding slot and push the cutting unit back onto the product (Fig.12).
