When charging for the first time or when the appliance is not used for a few months, leave the appliance to charge continuously for at least 4 hours (Type 5427: 8 hours).
Once the appliance is completely charged, discharge it (until empty) through normal use. Then recharge to full capacity. Maximum capacity will only be reached after several charging/discharging cycles.

General hair cutting information

The hair should be clean, well combed, tangle-free and dry.
If you are not used to clipping hair, begin with a higher setting and then reduce the setting to avoid cutting more hair than desired.
Use a slow and controlled movement. Do not force the clipper through the hair faster than the clipper can cut it.
In between, shake or blow off the hair from the clipper. If too much hair is caught in the distance comb, remove it.
To control your progress during clipping, regularly comb the hair in the style desired.
