The device should be charged for 2 hours before first use.
Before plugging in the trimmer, make sure that the mains voltage agrees with the voltage specified on the rating plate.
It is not possible to “overcharge” the appliance.
NOTE

• Place charging unit 2 on a flat surface.
• Place the device in the charging station. It positions itself and begins to charge. The green charge indicator 1 blinks when the charging current is flowing. Ensure that the on/off switch 4 is set to 0 during charging. The battery is completely charged as soon as the green charge indicator 1 lights up steadily.

3.2 Storing power cord
If you do not need the full length of the cord, a portion of the power cord can be stored in cable storage 9.

• Pull out the mains plug.
• Turn the charging unit upside down.
• Wind the excess cable around the holder in the base, then run the cable through the small recess in the housing to the outside.

• To switch the appliance off, slide the On/Off switch to position 0.

14.1 Comb attachment

• The comb attachment can be adjusted to 4 different cutting lengths (approx. 3 to 6 mm). To do so, push it to the required position on the blade set.

The further you push the comb attachment onto the blade set, the shorter the cutting length.

Cleaning and care

To ensure the proper functioning and full performance from your trimmer, clean and oil the appliance regularly.
Cleaning the blade set
WARNING Damage to the clipper head caused by its removal!
Never remove the clipper head. Once removed it cannot be reattached.
If used regularly, the blade set 5 should be thoroughly cleaned once a day.

• Switch the appliance off.
• Remove the comb attachment if fitted.
• Use the cleaning brush 12 to remove any hairs.

Oiling the blade set
To maintain the high-quality cutting performance of the blade set as long as possible, it must be oiled regularly – every 10 minutes.

• Remove the comb attachment if fitted.
• Lubricate the areas where there is contact between the upper and lower parts of the blade set (see illustration).

Replacing the blade set
The blade set is subject to wear. Even if you look after the appliance properly, the cutting performance will deteri- orate. Replace the blade set when it is worn. The blade
set can be ordered separately as a spare part from Aesculap Customer Service (see addresses at the end of these instructions).
WARNING Damage to the casing when screwing on the clipper head!

• Do not over-tighten the screw.

• Make sure the On/Off switch 4 is in the 0 positions.

• Remove the Allen key 13 from the base of the charging unit and use it to loosen the blade set screw 6.

• Loosen the screw fully and remove it.

• Push the blade set upwards with your thumb.

• Push the new blade set on until it snaps into place and secure it using the screw.

While the blade set is removed, you can use the cleaning brush to remove residual hair from inside the appliance.
Cleaning the appliance

• Clean your appliance occasionally with a damp cloth, then wipe it dry.

Cleaning the charging contacts
If the charging contacts 7 on the appliance or charging contact 3 on the charging unit are dirty, charging may not be possible or may be interrupted.
Clean the contacts using a cloth or wad of cotton wool soaked in alcohol or spirit.
If the battery is run down (the motor stops), be sure to switch the On/Off switch to 0 and place the appliance in the charging unit.

• Make sure you do not leave the appliance switched on when putting it aside if the battery is run down.
• Make sure the appliance is switched off (On/ Off switch to 0) when you place it in the charging unit.

What should I do if …

… the appliance will not switch on?
Is the battery low? Plug in the mains adapter for the charging unit and charge the trimmer.
Is the blade set dry? The blade set must be oiled. Proceed as described on page 17.
… the blade set “sticks”?
The blade set must be oiled. Proceed as described on page 17.
… the charging indicator does not light up when charging?
Clean the charging contacts.
The appliance may not be positioned correctly in the charging unit. Position it correctly.
Is the charging unit properly connected?
… the appliance switches itself off?
The battery is low. Charge the trimmer.
