TROUBLESHOOTING

If your rechargeable trimmer does not seem to be taking a charge, take the following troubleshooting steps before returning it for repair:

1. Be sure the electrical outlet is working by plugging in another appliance to test the outlet.
2. Make sure the electrical plug is not connected to a switch that turns power off when lights are turned off.
3. Be sure you have inserted the adapter properly into the trimmer, that all connections are secure, and that the trimmer switch is in the OFF position.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Before using the trimmer for the first time, charge continuously for 16 hours. Maximum battery capacity will be reached only after 3 charging and discharging cycles.

2. Always check to see if the charging light is on when you firmly connect the unit with the adapter.

3. Plug the adapter into any wall outlet (at the voltage listed on the label affixed to the adapter).
   Unplug adapter when not in use.

4. The adapter may become warm while charging. This is normal.

5. Preserving the batteries: in order to maintain the optimum capacity of the rechargeable batteries, the trimmer should be recharged for 16 hours approximately every 3 months

USER MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

OILING THE BLADE (oil not included)

About once a month you should oil the trimmer blade with a light mineral oil. It is best to do this over a piece of newspaper. Turn the trimmer on and hold it so that the blades are pointed downward. Spread one drop of oil across the blades, then turn the trimmer off and wipe away the excess oil with a soft cloth.

Be careful not to use too much oil and don’t oil your trimmer more than necessary, as this could damage the motor. (Never attempt to oil the motor bearing, as it is permanently lubricated.)

BLADE CARE

Because the trimmer blade is precision-made for a very special use, it should always be handled with care. Each time you finish using the trimmer, brush away any loose hair that has collected in the blade.

Be especially careful when changing or adjusting the blade. When you have your trimmer serviced, be sure that the blade is sharpened or replaced at the same time.

To promote the long life of the trimmer, use it only for the purpose intended by the manufacturer – to trim your beard and mustache.

GROWING A BEARD AND MUSTACHE

There are three key factors that will determine which beard or mustache style is best for you:

1. The shape and dimensions of your face.
2. The natural growth of your beard/mustache.
3. The thickness of your beard/mustache. If you are unsure about the type of beard or mustache that would most suit your face, speak with a professional hair stylist and ask for an opinion on what style would be best. Once your beard or mustache has been styled, it is essential that you maintain its appearance. To do this, use your trimmer to trim your beard/mustache weekly.

For the best trimming results, your beard should be slightly damp (NOT WET) when using your trimmer. This will prevent the trimmer from removing more hair than desired.

TYPES OF BEARDS/MUSTACHES

GETTING STARTED OUTLINING YOUR BEARD

1. It is always best to begin with a clean, slightly damp beard.
2. After you have combed through your beard in the direction it grows naturally, you will want to outline the desired shape, beginning under your jawline.
3. Begin defining your beard’s shape under your chin and work upward on each side of your face toward your ears. Then define the upper outline of your beard across your cheeks, past your sideburns, and toward your hairline.

TRIMMING YOUR BEARD

1. The trimmer includes a 5-position comb for use with the hair trimming blade (2–10mm) which provides lengths of 3/32″ (shortest) to 3/8″ (longest).

2. To use the 5-position comb, slide the unit over the trimmer blade and snap it down into position. At first, until you become familiar with the adjustments, use the longest trim setting. (You can always go back and make your beard a little shorter.)

3. Begin trimming your beard using smooth, even strokes. Start with your sideburns and work downward toward your chin. (Never attempt to trim against the natural growth of your beard because the hair will be cut too short.)

4. If you decide you want a closer trim, you can now adjust the 5-position comb attachment to a shorter setting (such as 3/32″ or 5/32″) and go over your beard again until you achieve the desired length.

BLENDING THE JAWLINE

1. Two all-purpose attachments, AC14, which provides lengths of 3mm (shortest) and AC13, which provides lengths of 5mm (longest), will help you to achieve a neat, finished trim under your chin. To use one of the attachments, press it down over the trimmer blades until it clicks into position.
2. Hold the trimmer in an upright position and begin trimming under your jawline, using short, even strokes.
3. After your beard is blended, turn off the trimmer and remove the attachment by gently pulling up on tab.
   

TRIMMING YOUR MUSTACHE

1. For best results, start with a clean, slightly damp mustache.

2. Comb through your mustache in the direction it grows.

3. Place the 5-position comb over the facial hair blade and snap it into position. It is a good idea to start with the longest trim setting adjustment. (You can always go back and cut your mustache more closely with a shorter setting.) Always trim your mustache from the top down.

4. After your mustache has been trimmed to the desired length, remove the 5-position comb and, using the blade only, define the outline of the bottom of your mustache.

ON/OFF SWITCH

To operate, simply slide switch toward blade; to stop, slide switch away from blade.

CARE OF YOUR TRIMMER

REPLACEMENT (REMOVAL) OF BLADE SET

To remove blade set from your trimmer, make sure the trimmer is in the OFF position. Remove the blade set by placing thumb against the smaller cutter and pushing forward, releasing the cutter assembly from the trimmer housing.
Replace with new cutting system and reverse the removal procedure, only this time place your thumb on the large cutter and snap into place.

BATTERY REMOVAL

1. Using a small Phillips head screwdriver, remove the screws at the back of the trimmer.
2. Remove the bottom housing and cut the battery out. Bring the battery to the nearest collection center for proper disposal. DO NOT throw the battery into the normal municipal waste system.
