Use
The trimmer can be used without the adapter (for cutting contours) or with the selected adapter B1 – B6 according to the required cut length. Slide the adapters in the guide grooves on the head of the appliance in order to fix it (you will hear a clicking sound).

Hair clipping

• The trimmer can be operated from the outlet with the adaptor connected (in this case, charge the battery at least 5 minutes) or only from the charged battery. In case an blades A3 gets blocked, the appliance must be turned off immediately and the cause of the block removed.

• We recommed oiling the blades with the oil C4 attached before first use.
• Before you start clipping, make sure that the head of the person whose hair you are cutting is at the same level as your chest so that all parts of his/ her head are clearly visible and within easy reach.
• Only use the clipper on dry hair.
• Do not use on freshly washed hair.
• Before you begin, comb the hair in the direction of growth.
• To achieve optimal clipping results, always move the clipper slowly through the hair against the direction of hair growth.
• When the appliance is in operation, the A2 light is blue, when the battery power reaches minimum, the light begins to flash red. It is a signal to charge the battery.

Clipping with hair comb attachment (fig. 2)

You may use 5 kinds of comb attachments B for trimming,

1. Put on the desired comb attachment C. Then you can turn on the appliance.
2. If you are trimming for the first time, begin by trimming with an attachment of max. length to prevent too short of a cut. When you have familiarized yourself with the settings, use attachments B with lower length.
3. You may also use the blade cut length switch A4 for finer cut setting.
4. Make sure that the flat part of the comb is always in full contact with the scalp to obtain an even result.
5. Move the clipper slowly over the crown from different directions to achieve an even result.
6. Always move the clipper against the direction of hair growth.
7. Make overlapping passes over the head to ensure that all hair that should be cut has been cut.
8. Turn the Clipper off and remove the hair comb often to blow and/or shake out hair that has accumulated.

Contouring without the hair clipping comb attachment

1. Remove the hair comb (if it is attached). Be careful when you are clipping without comb attachment as when the clipper is turned on it will trim every hair it touches.
2. Tilt the clipper in such a way that only one edge of the trimming attachment touches the hair ends when you shape the contours around the ears.
3. To contour the nape of the neck or hairline, turn the clipper and hold it with the trimming attachment pointing downwards.
4. To contour the sideburns, turn the clipper and hold it with the trimming attachment pointing downwards.

Note: You may also use the blade cut length switch A4 for finer cut setting.

Trimming facial hair (fig. 3)

1. Wet facial hair slightly and brush it before trimming.
2. Mark a facial hair line with the trimmer and cut off the hairs exceeding this line from the outer perimeter
3. If you want to achieve an even trim of facial hair, use one of the attachments B or trim carefully the ends by small pieces over the brush in such a way that the brush moves through the hair upwards. Repeat the process in the whole facial hair area.
4. After trimming shave the parts around the beard in a usual way.

Trimming a mustache (fig. 4)

Turn off the appliance before each maintenance, or unplug the adapter from the electric socket! Do not use rough and aggressive detergents! Wipe the trimmer surface with a wet soft cloth.

Cleaning blades (fig. 5) Clean the blades with the brush attached. If the blades are very dirty, you can remove the whole cutting attachment and clean it under running water. After drying it thoroughly, put the attachment with the blades back on the trimmer reversely. In order to keep the trimmer in a perfect condition, you have to lubricate the list with blades using one or two drops of oil for sewing machines (figure 5). Do not use hair oil, petroleum jelly or oil mixed with petrol or any other solvent because after evaporation the solid parts of the lubricant could slow down operation of the blades. Insert the trimming head to the trimmer properly, turn on the trimmer and then turn it off and wipe out the excessive oil from the blades.

Storage
Put the trimmer with the accessories back to the original package at a dry and dust free place, out of reach of children and incapacitated people. You can use the accessory stand for this purpose.
