Switch on the product.
Slowly move the rotary trimmer along the rim of the ear to remove hairs that stick out beyond the rim.
Do not insert the rotary trimmer more than 5 mm (13/64 in) into your ear channel, as this could damage the eardrum.
Carefully insert the rotary trimmer into the outer ear channel. (Fig. 9)
Slowly turn the rotary trimmer around to remove all unwanted hairs from your outer ear channel.
