Trimming eyebrows with the eyebrow guard

Comb your eyebrows in the direction of hair growth (Fig. 12).

Note: Make sure the guard clicks into place.
Switch on the product (Fig. 8).
Place the trimmer in a position perpendicular to your face. Make sure that the back of the guard lies flat on the skin (Fig. 14).
Slowly move the trimmer against the hair growth direction (Fig. 15). Press lightly and make sure that the surface of the guard always stays in contact with the skin. Repeat until all the hairs that should be cut have been cut.
Clean thoroughly after each use (see ‘Cleaning’).

Trimming ear hair

Make sure your outer ear channels are clean and free from wax.

Note: If there is an eyebrow guard attached to the cutting element, remove it before trimming nose or ear hair. (Fig. 16)

Switch on the product (Fig. 8).
Slowly move the trimming head along the rim of the ear to remove hairs that stick out beyond the rim.
Carefully insert the trimming head into the outer ear channel.
Do not insert the cutting element too deep into your ear channel, as this could damage the eardrum (max. 15/32 in./12 mm).
Move the tip in and out of the outer ear channel in a firm, rotary motion to cut the hairs to a shorter length (Fig. 17).
Clean thoroughly after each use (see ‘Cleaning’).

Tip: You can also trim hairs in the outer ear channel using the rotary trimmer (see ‘Using the rotary trimmer’).

Using the rotary trimmer

The rotary trimmer attachment can also be used to trim hairs in the nostrils or ears.

Attach the rotary trimmer to the product (see ‘Detaching and attaching the attachments’).
Gently insert the rotary trimmer into your nostril or outer ear channel.
Do not insert the trimming head too deep into your nostrils or ear channels (max. 3/16 in. / 5 mm).
When trimming both nose and ear hair, make firm, rotary movements to ensure that the trimming head reaches all the hairs.
Clean the attachment thoroughly after each use.
