OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
CHARGING UNIT
Please read the following instructions before using your Andis cord/cordless
rechargeable trimmer. Give it the care a fine precision built instrument
deserves and it will give trouble-free service. Before starting your cordless
rechargeable trimmer, it must be pre-charged for 16 hours before using it for
the first time.
To charge your cord/cordless rechargeable trimmer, remove the trimmer and transformer from the packaging. Plug the transformer directly into the trimmer (see Fig. 1). The dual voltage charger will have to be set manually before plugging into an electrical outlet. If plugging into a 120V electrical outlet, make sure the transformer plug switch is set in the 120V setting (as shown in Fig. 2).
Plug the transformer into a 120V or 240V AC outlet, as according to your local power standards. For U.S.A., the transformer must be at 120V setting. You can keep the Rechargeable Trimmer plugged into the charger when not in use. The trimmer has a Ni-Cad battery that cannot be damaged by overcharging. After initial use,the unit should be charged overnight. We do , however, recommend that the trimmer be unplugged if not in use for seven or more days.
USING TRIMMING COMBS
Your cord/cordless rechargeable trimmer comes complete with six trimming guides. They are 1/2”, 3/8”, 1/4”, 7 day, 5 day and 3 day for even closer trimming. (See figure 3)
ATTACHING THE TRIMMING COMBS
Slide front of comb over the teeth of the blade. Snap comb down over back
of blade. (See Figure 4)
USER MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: If unit fails to charge, check to make sure the transformer is
plugged firmly into trimmer. If failure to charge still exists, return the
trimmer to Andis or an Andis Authorized Service Station listed in this manual
for examination and repair or replacement.
ATTENTION: The product you have purchased contains a rechargeable
battery. The battery is recyclable. At the end of its useful life, under
various state and local laws, it may be illegal to dispose of this battery
into the municipal waste stream. Check with your local solid waste officials
(or call 1-800-8-BATTERY) for details in your area for recycling options or
proper disposal.
CAUTION: Dispose of used batteries properly. Do not incinerate. Batteries
may explode if overheated.
BLADES: When trimming is complete, slide on/off switch to off position
and remove the trimming comb (if being used). Lightly brush out blades with
the blade cleaning brush provided. For best results put a drop of Andis
clipper oil on the
blade when necessary. Motor bearings are permanently lubricated– do not
attempt to oil. Blades should be handled carefully and never bumped or used to
cut dirty or abrasive material. Do not use while bathing or in the shower, as
damage to batteries and product may occur.
TRIMMING NECKLINE
Your cord/cordless rechargeable trimmer makes trimming the neckline easier. The results are professional, too. Simply comb hair into a natural position and choose an attachment comb for the length of cut desired. Trim with the natural grain of the hair. You may wish to use a comb to hold the hair in position until you feel comfortable using your trimmer. For a closer trim, you may wish to select one of the closer-cutting comb attachments(Fig. 3).
TRIMMING BEARD
Always begin with a slightly damp beard for more control when shaping. Comb your beard in the direction the hair grows, to give you an indication of what areas you need to trim. To trim the outer edge of your beard and add definition, hold the trimmer horizontally with on/ off switch facing out. Following the line of your jawbone, cut away longer hairs along the outer edge of your beard (Figs. 6 & 7). To trim your beard line, hold the trimmer vertically (on/off switch facing you). Start at the trimmed edge of your beard and, with a downward motion, trim the area right under your beard line. For added definition of your beard line, use the horizontal position to trim any stray hair (Fig. 8).
TRIMMING MUSTACHE
Always begin with a slightly damp moustache. When trimming your mustache the
first few times you may wish to use a comb to hold in place while you trim. As
the hair is held in place, trim the hair ends (on/off switch facing out using
an upward motion). Once you feel comfortable using your cordless rechargeable
trimmer, you may wish to use it without the comb. Simply place a finger on the
upper lip to lift hair away from skin and trim moustache using an upward
motion. When you’ve achieved the desired length, use a downward motion to
blend the hairs of your moustache. Be sure to trim slowly and gently. Too much
pressure too quickly may trim off too much (Fig. 9).
