INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

TAKING CARE OF YOUR TRIMMER OILING THE BLADES About once a month you should oil the trimmer blades. 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.)
KEEP OIL OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN
IMPORTANT : CHARGING FIRST TIME USE

The stubble trim is so easy to use but before you do anything you must take your time to charge the unit for 16 hours before its first use. Even if you want to use it plugged into your outlet, this initial super-charge ensures optimum power performance to give smooth fast trimming every time. After the first charge, a full charge should take 90 minutes. Maximum battery capacity will only be reached after 3 charging/discharging cycles.
Connect the power adaptor to the socket on the underside of the stubble trim trimmer.
Plug the power adaptor into a suitable bathroom outlet.
Always check that the charging indicator on the LCD comes on when you connect the power lead to the product.

REGULAR CHARGING

A full charge should take 90 minutes and will supply enough power for a minimum of 45 minutes of continuous cordless use. The remaining battery life is shown on the LCD display.
In order to maintain the optimum capacity of the rechargeable batteries, the appliance should be recharged for 16 hours every 3 months approximately.
The stubble trim comes with a quick charge feature. A 5 minute charge will provide enough power for approximately 3 minutes use.

SWITCHING ON
Press the ‘Power on/off’ button and release, the battery indicator on the LCD screen will cycle through a few times before the remaining battery life is displayed.
SWITCHING OFF
To switch off the stubble trim hold down the ‘Power on/off button for 2 seconds then release.
PREPARATION FOR USE
Always inspects the stubble trim before use to ensure the cutting head is free from hair and debris and is running smoothly. USING THE COMB GUIDE The comb guide allows you to change the cutting length of your trimmer. You’ll need to experiment to find your preferred length, but as a guide, 0.4mm will give you very short stubble, whilst 1.6mm will give you a longer stubble look. 2mmi- will give you a short beard.

Ensure the comb guide is correctly positioned by pushing the comb guide gently downwards to secure into place.
Use the digital touch control “up” or “down” buttons to adjust the telescopic comb guide to the required length.
The cutting lengths are displayed on the LCD screen in “mm” — scroll through the available length settings with the digital touch controls. There are 15 length settings available: 0.4mm, 0.6, 0.8, 1.0, 1.2, 1.4, 1.6, 1.8, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, 4.5, 5.0mm.
Select your required length — the length setting will then remain displayed on the LCD screen.
Push the power button to switch the stubble trim on.

USING THE TRIMMER WITHOUT THE COMB GUIDE

Using without the comb guide is ideal for detailing/shaping and general tidying of edges.
To detach the comb guide, gently hold the trimmer in one hand and with your thumb and index finger push up on each side of the comb guide (fig. 1). Flip the comb guide to the back of the unit and lock it into position by clicking it securely onto the fastener on the back of the handle (fig. 2).
Switch the stubble trim on by pushing the “power on” button. The LCD will illuminate and the blades will start to move.
If you are looking for an ultra-close finish, you can use the trimmer without the comb guide. This will give you an extremely shortcut.

IMPORTANT: Please note when using the trimmer without the comb guide, the cutting length will be below 0.4mm. The length setting shown on the LCD screen will no longer be relevant when the comb guide is detached.

STUBBLE TRIM TOP TIPS

Use on clean, dry hair.
If possible, when using for the first time, try and grow your facial hair for a few days before cutting so you can trim it down to a level that is best for you.
Set the cutting length as required.
It is always best to start cutting with a longer length first, then trim again if the length is longer than desired.
Hold the stubble trim against the hair, the teeth of the comb guide should be pointing upwards and should be flat against the face.
Move the trimmer upwards through the hair, a little at a time, against the direction of hair growth. The floating and contouring head will follow the curves of your face to ensure both accuracy and comfort.
The stubble trim will work most effectively when cutting through the hair at its own speed – never force through the hair. You may experience a little resistance when trimming the neck area, where hair is thicker and grows in many different directions. This is completely normal.
Just like shaving, extra time should be given when trimming under the neck area, as again this is where hairs grow in many different directions.
Never
witch the trimmer off while in the hair.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

Regular cleaning will maintain the high performance of your stubble trim.
Switch off and remove the power cord if connected.
Detach the comb guide by gently lifting the front of the comb guide from both sides and flipping it over to the back of the unit and locking it into position by clicking it securely onto the fastener on the back of the handle.
Use the cleaning brush supplied to brush away any hair and debris. Do not use a sharp object to clean the trimmer blade.
The blades can be removed to aid in cleaning.
To remove the blades hold the handle of the tube trim with one hand, place your thumb underneath the blades and push the blades away from the handle.
Gently blow away any hair trapped beneath the blades.
The blades can be rinsed under the tap. After rinsing the blades they may need to be oiled. See the oiling instructions below.
Ensure the blades are dry before reattaching to the trimmer body.
Ensure you clean the blades after each use and before storing them away.
It is highly recommended to oil the blades from time to time with the oil provided. This ensures optimum cutting performance. For the first use, you will need to use the oil
supplied with the product, unscrew the cap, and cut off the very end of the plastic tube with a pair of scissors to release the oil. To oil, the blades ensure the unit is switched
on. Gently squeeze the oil tube and apply 2 drops of oil onto the blades. Leave the unit on for a further few seconds to allow the oil to thoroughly spread the length of the blades. Switch off the unit and remove any excess oil by gently dabbing with a cloth.
