INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

BEFORE STARTING THE CUT

Inspect the clipper making sure that it is free from hair and dirt.
Seat the person so that their head is approximately at your eye level.
Before cutting, always comb the hair so it is tangle-free and dry.

TO ATTACH A COMB

Hold the comb with its teeth upward.
Align the legs of the comb with the holes in the top of the clipper on each side of the
blade and slide the legs into the trimmer until they click (Fig B).
To remove, firmly pull the comb straight up away from the clipper.

SETTING THE LENGTH OF CUT

Your clipper comes with three adjustable combs 3 to 13 mm, 14 to 24 mm, and 25 to 35 mm.
These provide a length of cut that can be adjusted between 3 and 35 mm in increments of 1 mm.

Select the comb that fits the range of cut you want to achieve.
Fit the comb then rotate the length adjustment dial until the length you want appears in the length selection window for that comb.
The length setting color on the wheel matches the length marker color on the comb.
For example, if you want a cut length of 20 mm, fit the 14 to 24 mm comb then turn the dial until 20 appears in the length setting window for the 14 – 24 mm comb.
Use the clipper without any fixed combs for trimming hair close to the skin.
This will trim hair to 1mm, holding the clipper so the blades are perpendicular to the skin will trim hair to 0.5mm.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR CUTTING HAIR

Turn the product on using the on/off switch.
For even cutting, allow the comb attachment/blade to cut its way through the hair. Do not force it through quickly. If you are cutting for the first time, start with the maximum comb attachment.

STEP 1 – NAPE OF THE NECK

Set the comb to 3 mm or 6 mm.
Hold the clipper with the blade teeth pointing upwards. Begin starting at the center of the head at the base of the neck.
Slowly lift the clipper, working upwards and outwards through the hair, trimming just a little at a time.

STEP 2 – BACK OF THE HEAD

With the comb set at 12 mm or 18 mm, cut the hair at the back of the head.

STEP 3 – SIDE OF THE HEAD

With the comb set at 3 mm or 6 mm, trim sideburns. Then change to the longer 9 mm guide comb and continue to cut the top of the head.

STEP 4 – TOP OF THE HEAD

Use the longer-length comb attachment and set it to 25 mm or 27 mm then cut hair on top of the head against the direction in which the hair normally grows.
For longer hair on top, use the longer-length comb attachment (24 – 35 mm) to achieve the desired style.
Always work from the back of the head.

STEP 5 – THE FINISHING TOUCHES

Use the clipper without an attachment comb for close trimming around the base and sides of the neck.
To produce a clean straight line at the sideburns, reverse the hair clipper.
Place the reversed clipper at right angles to the head, tips of the blades lightly touching the skin, and then work downwards.

CARE FOR YOUR HAIRCLIPPER

Your clipper is fitted with high-quality blades.
To ensure the long-lasting performance of your clipper, clean the blades and unit regularly.
Always keep the attachment guide comb on the trimmer blade.

AFTER EACH USE

Ensure the appliance is switched off and unplugged from the charging adapter before cleaning.
Brush the accumulated hair from the blades and body of the clipper. Do not submerge the clipper in water.
To clean the unit, wipe with a damp cloth and dry immediately.
Place a few drops of cutter or sewing machine oil onto the blades. Wipe off excess oil.

WASHABLE BLADE CLEANING

The blades are washable under a running tap. Do not rinse the main body of the unit under a running tap.
To remove the blades ensure the unit is switched off. Push the blade set away from the clipper body using your thumb (Fig A).
To reattach once the blades are cleaned and dry, align the bottom of the blade with the bottom blade housing tab and slide the cartridge back into place until you hear a click.

CLEANING CAUTIONS

Do not use harsh or corrosive cleaners on the units or their blades.
Ensure the appliance is switched off and unplug from the main outlet before cleaning.

REMOVING THE RECHARGEABLE BATTERY

We strongly recommend that a professional remove the rechargeable battery. Parts of the shaver case and tools have sharp edges and may cause injury if not handled correctly.

The rechargeable battery must be removed from the appliance before it is scrapped.
Disconnect the charging adapter before removing the battery.
1. Ensure that the battery is fully discharged. To do this, operate the device until it stops.
2. Pry off and remove the top housing.
3. Unscrew the 3 screws from the inner bracket.
4. Take out the battery bracket assembly.
5. Cut off the battery tabs and wires and remove the battery from the bracket.
The battery must be disposed of at an appropriate official recycling/collection point.
Do not attempt to operate the trimmer once you have opened it.
