Never drop or insert any object into any opening on the appliance.
Do not place the appliance on any surface while it is operating.
Do not use this appliance with a damaged or broken comb or with teeth missing from the blades, as it has the potential to result in facial injury. Before each use, make certain the blades are aligned properly and oiled.
Do not use the appliance outdoors or operate where aerosol (spray) products are being used or where oxygen is being administered.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Before using the trimmer for the frst time, charge continuously for 3 hours. Maximum battery capacity will only be reached after 3 charging and discharging cycles.
Make sure the switch on the trimmer is in the “0” position.
Apply a drop of the provided lubricating oil across the blades; wipe off any excess
oil with a dry cloth.
Connect the charging jack into the receptacle on the bottom of the trimmer. Plug the adapter into any electrical outlet (at the voltage listed on the label affixed to the adapter). The charging indicator will light up to indicate that the charging has begun. Charging is complete after 3 hours. The user will see LED light has stopped blinking and is now steady lit.
The adapter may become warm while charging. This is normal.
Preserving the batteries: In order to maintain the optimum capacity of the rechargeable batteries, the trimmer should be recharged for 3 hours approximately every 6 months.
Slide the switch to the “I” position.
Make sure the switch is in the “0” position when the trimmer is not operating.
Remove hair trimmings and debris from the blades using the provided cleaning brush. Wipe the housing clean with a dry cloth.
Apply a few drops of lubricating oil to the blades, and wipe off any excess oil with a dry cloth. This last procedure is important for the proper maintenance of the blades.
If the charging light starts to flash rapidly (more than 4 flashes per second) then the appliance is faulty. If this happens then please stop charging and remove the adapter from the mains and contact an authorized Service Center.

WARNING: Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Caution: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by Conair Corporation, the manufacturer of this product, and the party responsible for the compliance, could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
FOR DIRECT PLUG-IN OPERATION
Make sure the trimmer is off. Connect the charging jack into the receptacle at the end of the trimmer and plug the adapter into a power outlet.
ON/OFF SWITCH
To operate, simply slide switch to “I” position. To stop operation, set to the “0” position.
VERY IMPORTANT: Blades must be cleaned and oiled on a regular basis for proper functioning. Failure to regularly clean and oil the blades will void the warranty.
REPLACING (REMOVING) BLADE SET
To remove the blade set, turn the trimmer to the OFF position and unplug it from the electrical outlet. Turn the trimmer upside down so that the teeth of the trimmer are facing down. Place the trimmer on a fat surface and using the screwdriver, loosen the fastening screws from the blade set. Remove the blade set from the trimmer (see Fig. 1).

To install or replace your trimmer blade set, reverse the procedure, aligning the blade cushion shaft into the moving blade cushion (see Fig. 2). With the blade held in place, replace blade screws and tighten loosely. Turn the trimmer over and align the blade set parallel to the trimmer’s upper housing.

BLADE CARE
Because the trimmer blades are precision-made for very special use, they should always be handled with care and cleaned regularly to ensure maximum performance. Each time you finish using the trimmer, take the cleaning brush provided and brush away any loose hair that has collected in the blades. Use a clean cloth to dry the attachment, reattach and then store the trimmer to protect the blades until the next use. Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative since the appliance has no other user- serviceable parts. This product is for commercial use.
DO NOT RINSE BLADE OR TRIMMER HANDLE OR ADAPTER. ZERO GAP ADJUSTMENT TOOL
IMPORTANT! Only ever attempt to zero gap the blades using the adjustment tool, following the instructions very precisely. The adjustment tool is required to adjust the blades to zero gap, to achieve a closer, more precise cut.
Step 1 Using the screwdriver included, gently loosen the two small screws on each side of the blade.
Step 2 Slide the zero-gap tool over the gold fixed blade until it is tight against the back portion of the moving cutting blade. Step 3 Using your fingers on each side of the zero-gap tool, push up until the black cutting blade is even with “or” slightly below the gold fixed blade.
Be sure that the blades are aligned properly. The teeth of the smaller blade (cutter) should rest slightly below the upper edge of the larger blade (comb) approximately 1/64″ to 1/32″ apart (see Fig. 3). If the blades are not correctly aligned, they may cut or scratch your skin when trimming. Once the blades have been aligned, tighten the screws frmly.

Step 4 MAKE SURE THE MOVING CUTTING BLADE DOES NOT EXTEND PAST THE FIXED GOLD BLADE. WARNING: IF THE CUTTING BLADE EXTENDS PAST THE FIXED BLADE YOU CAN POTENTIALLY CUT A CLIENT.

Step 5 Once the blade is adjusted to zero gap or your liking, gently tighten the two screws on each side of the blade while holding the zero-gap tool in place. If the blade is not adjusted to satisfaction after testing, repeat the adjusting process.

WARNING: IF YOU THINK THE POWER IS OFF WHEN THE SWITCH IS OFF, YOU’RE WRONG.
Everyone knows that electricity and water are a dangerous combination. But did you know that an electrical appliance is still electrically live even if the switch is off? If the plug is in, the power is on. So when you are not using the appliances, keep them unplugged.
