INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

Charging the Appliance

  • Before using the clipper and trimmer for the first time, charge the batteries continuously for 3 hours. Maximum battery capacity will only be reached after 3 completed charging and discharging cycles.

  • Connect the charging cable into the back of the charging stand. Plug into a suitable mains power socket and switch on. Place the clipper and trimmer into the dual charging stand. The red LED indicator lights will flash when correctly placed in to the stand and will continuously flash until the battery has fully charged. When the batteries are fully charged the LED indicator lights will stop flashing but remain on.
    NOTE: Always place the clipper/trimmer in the base with the ‘I/0’ switch in the OFF position.

  • When the clipper/trimmer is running low on charge, the LED indicator light will flash, warning there is approximately 3 minutes of battery use remaining.

  • Clipper – a 3 hour charge will provide approximately 120 minutes use. A 30 minute quick charge will provide approximately 30 minutes use.

  • Trimmer – a 3 hour charge will provide approximately 85 minutes use. A 30 minute quick charge will provide approximately 30 minutes use.

  • 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 the Conair Customer Care Line. (See ‘UK After Sales Service’ section for further information).

Preserving the Batteries

  • In order to maintain the optimum capacity of the rechargeable batteries, the appliance should be recharged for 3 hours approximately every 3 months.
  • Using the clipper/trimmer on the mains – ensure that the clipper is switched off. Plug into a suitable mains socket. Wait for approximately a minute, and then switch on.

IMPORTANT: Do not use the clipper/trimmer in this mode for more than 20 minutes.

CLIPPING

Taper Control

The taper control lever enables fine cut adjustment for precision clipping.

  • To increase the cutting length, push the lever down.
  • To reduce the cutting length, push the lever up.

Comb Guides

This appliance is supplied with 6 comb guides:

Cutting Length Grade
3mm (1/8’’) #1
6mm (1/4’’) #2
10mm (3/8’’) #3
13mm (1/2’’) #4
16mm (5/8’’) #5
19mm (3/4’’) #6

For an all over even cut

  • Attach a comb guide as required – your clipper is supplied with 6 comb guides (grades 1-6). Each comb guide is labelled.
  • Switch the clipper to the ‘I-ON’ position and the blades will start to move.
  • Starting at the nape of the neck, hold the clipper with the teeth of the comb guide pointing upwards, ensuring that the comb guide is resting flat against the head.
  • Slowly move the clipper upwards and outwards through the hair towards your crown, against the direction of the hair growth. The comb guide will help to lift the hair and the blades will cut the hair at the desired length.
  • Once the desired length is achieved at the back of the hair, start clipping the top and sides.
  • Hold the clipper to the front of your hair with the teeth pointing towards the back of your head, and move the clipper towards your crown. Repeat as necessary, moving in rows from the front and the sides of your head to the back.
  • You should achieve an even length cut all over your head.

For shorter back and sides, with length on the top

  • Attach the longer comb guide as required for the top of your hair – your clipper is supplied with 6 comb guides (grades 1-6). Each comb guide is labelled.
  • Switch the clipper to the ‘I-ON’ position and the blades will start to move.
  • Hold the clipper to the front of your hair with the teeth pointing towards the back of your head and move the clipper towards your crown. Repeat as necessary, moving in rows from the front and the sides of your head to the back.
  • If you then wish to take the back and sides of your hair to a shorter length, switch off the appliance and attach a shorter comb guide.
  • Starting at the nape of the neck, with the comb guide flat against the head, move the clipper upwards and outwards over the area you want to take shorter.
  • Repeat through the sides of the hair, starting with the teeth of the clipper pointing upwards and the comb guide flat against the area above the ear, again moving the clipper upwards and outwards.

Outlining

  • To tidy up the edges around your cut e.g. neckline and sideburns, detach the comb guides.
  • Hold the appliance upside down, so the front of the clipper is facing  towards your head.
  • Hold the clipper straight on your sideburns or neckline and move the clipper downwards. This will give you a clean, smooth finish.

This trimmer is supplied with 2 comb guides.

No.1 – 6mm
