Note: If the battery is completely empty, wait a few minutes before you switch on the appliance.

Using The Appliance

Display Indications

The display is activated when you press the on/off button and when you turn the adjustment ring.

• During trimming, the display provides the following information:
• ’-’ when no comb is attached to the appliance.
• The selected hair length (i.e., the remaining hair length after trimming) in millimeters.
• The remaining charge levels.
• Travel lock indicator if the appliance is locked (see section ‘Travel lock’ in this chapter).
• ’E’ if the cutting unit is blocked.

Beard Trimming

Always comb your beard or moustache with a fine comb before you start trimming.

Trimming With Trimming Comb

The hair length settings are indicated in millimeters on the display of the appliance. The settings correspond to the remaining hair length after cutting. The trimming comb cuts hair to a length of 1-18mm.

If you trim for the first time, start with the maximum hair length setting (18mm).

• Slide the trimming comb onto the appliance.
• Turn the adjustment ring (Precision Zoom LockTM) to the desired hair length setting.
• The display shows the selected hair length.
• Switch on the appliance.

Note: During trimming, you can use the turbo function for extra suction power and trimming speed (see section ‘Turbo function’ below).

• To trim most effectively, move the appliance against the direction of hair growth.

Note: Make smooth and gentle movements and make sure the surface of the trimming comb always stays in contact with the skin.

Note: Do not move the appliance too fast.

• Switch off the appliance after use and clean it (see chapter ‘Cleaning’).

Creating A Stubble Look

• Use the trimmer with the trimming comb set to a hair length of 1mm to create a stubble look.
• If you want even shorter stubble of 0.5mm, use the trimmer without the trimming comb attached.

Trimming Without Trimming Comb

Use the trimmer without trimming comb to trim full beards and single hairs.

• Remove the trimming comb.

Note: Never pull at the flexible top of the trimming comb. Always pull at the bottom part.

• Make well-controlled movements and touch the hair lightly with the cutting unit.

Turbo Function

You can use the turbo function for greater suction power and increased cutting speed.

• Switch on the appliance.
• Press the turbo button.

When you switch off the appliance, the turbo function is deactivated automatically.

Absorbing Cut Hairs

The vacuum system is activated automatically as soon as you switch on the appliance. It absorbs cut hairs during every kind of use, i.e., trimming with and without trimming comb and contouring.

We advise you to empty the hair-collection chamber after each trimming session. When you trim long, dense beards, it may also be necessary to empty the hair-collection chamber during the trimming session in order to maintain optimal suction performance (see chapter ‘Cleaning’, section ‘Hair-collection chamber’).

Note: To ensure optimal functioning of the vacuum system, do not cut off more than approx. 7mm of your overall beard length at a time. If you want to cut your beard shorter, repeat the process one or more times.

You can lock the appliance when you are going to travel. The travel lock prevents the appliance from being switched on by accident.

Activating The Travel Lock

Deactivating The Travel Lock

• The display counts down from 3 to 1. Then the travel lock indicator disappears from the display to indicate that the appliance is unlocked. Note: The travel lock is deactivated automatically when you connect the appliance to the mains.
