Using the product

- 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 moustache 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 moustache 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.).
-
Slide the trimming guard straight into the guiding groove of the product (Fig. 5).
-
Turn the zoom wheel to the desired setting (Fig. 6). The desired hair length setting is shown in the center of the zoom wheel.
-
Switch the product on.
-
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. -
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 hairs (Fig. 7).The selected hair length setting does not change when the guard is removed.
-
Switch off and clean the product after each use.
Trimming for ‘stubble look’ -
Be certain 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.
- Pull the trimming guard straight off the product (Fig. 9).
- 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.
