INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

TAKING CARE OF YOUR TRIMMER OILING THE BLADES

1. Oil the trimmer before first use and once a month.
2. Over a piece of newspaper, turn the trimmer on.
3. Hold and point the blades downward.
4. Spread one drop of oil across the blades.
5. Turn the trimmer off and wipe away any excess oil.

NOTE:

1. Do not over-oil the blades, as this can damage the motor.
2. Do not oil the motor bearing, as it is permanently lubricated.
3. KEEP OIL AWAY FROM CHILDREN.

IMPORTANT: CHARGING FIRST-TIME USE

The Close Trim Precision Trimmer is very easy to use, but before you do anything, you must take the time to charge the unit for 16 hours prior to its first use. Even if you want to use it plugged into your outlet, this initial supercharge ensures optimum power performance to ive smooth, fast trimming every time. After the first charge, a full charge should take 90 minutes. Maximum battery capacity will be  reached only after 3 charging/discharging cycles. To charge:

• Connect the power adapter to the socket on the underside of the trimmer.
• Plug the power adapter into a suitable outlet.
• Always check that the charging indicator on the LCD comes on when you connect the power lead into the product.

REGULAR CHARGING

• A full charge should take 90 minutes and will supply enough power for a minimum of 60 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 battery, the appliance should be recharged for 16 hours approximately every 3 months.
• The trimmer comes with a quick-charge feature. A 5-minute charge will provide enough power for approximately 3 minutes of use.

OPERATION WITH POWER CORD (NOT CORDLESS)

• Connect the adapter to the base of the appliance, plug the adapter into a suitable electrical outlet and the appliance is now ready for use.
• Always ensure the trimmer is switched off and unplugged after use unless you intend to charge the trimmer.

SWITCHING ON/OFF

To switch the trimmer on press the power ON/OFF button and release. The selected length will appear on the LCD display. To switch the trimmer OFF, press the power ON/OFF button and release. This will display the battery time remaining in minutes before it disappears.

TRAVEL LOCK

To ensure the trimmer does not accidentally turn on when traveling, it features a travel lock:

To lock the trimmer, hold the ON/OFF button for 3 seconds, the comb guide will return to start position and power will shut off. A countdown of an additional 3 seconds will appear on the LCD display. After the 3 second countdown, a pad lock will appear on the screen.

To unlock the travel lock, hold the ON/OFF button. A 3 second countdown will appear on the LCD screen. After 3 seconds the trimmer will turn on.

When charging the unit, the travel lock is automatically deactivated.

PREPARATION FOR USE

Always inspect the trimmer before use to ensure the cutting head is free of 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, and 1.6mm will give you a longer stubble look. 2mm+ will give you a short beard.

• Ensure the comb guide is correctly positioned by pushing the comb guide gently downward to secure in place.
• Use the digital touch control UP or DOWN button to adjust the telescopic comb guide to the required length.
• The cutting lengths are displayed on the LCD screen in millimeters (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 desired length – the length setting will then remain displayed on the LCD screen.
• Push the power button to switch the trimmer on.

USING THE TRIMMER WITHOUT THE COMB GUIDE

Using the trimmer 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 trimmer 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 fi nish, you can use the trimmer without the comb guide.
  This will give you an extremely short cut.

IMPORTANT: Please note that 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 BEST TIPS

• Use on clean, dry hair.

• If possible, when using for the fi rst time, try to grow your facial hair for a few days before cutting so you can trim down to a level that is best for you.

• Set the cutting length as desired.

• It is always best to start cutting with a longer length fi rst, then trim again if the length is longer than desired.

• Hold the trimmer against the hair. The teeth of the comb guide should be pointing upward and should be fl at against the face.

• Move the trimmer upward through the hair, a little at a time, against the direction of hair growth. The fl oating and contouring head will follow the curves of your face to ensure both accuracy and comfort.

• The trimmer will work most effectively when cutting through the hair at its own speed – never force it 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 when shaving, extra time should be given when trimming under the neck area.

• Never switch the trimmer off while inthe hair.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

• Regular cleaning will maintain the high performance of your trimmer.

• Before cleaning or maintenance, 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. Lock 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 cleaning.

• To remove the blades, hold the handle of the trimmer 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 may need to be oiled.
  See oiling instructions that follow.

• Be sure the blades are dry before reattaching to the trimmer body.

• Be sure to clean the blades after each use and before storing.

• It is highly recommended to oil the blades once a month. This ensures optimum cutting performance. Also, oil the blades before you use the trimmer for the fi rst time. To oil the blades, make sure the unit is switched on. Gently squeeze the oil tube and apply 1 or 2 drops of oil onto the blades. Leave the unit on for a few seconds more to allow the oil to thoroughly spread along the length of the blades. Switch the unit off and remove any excess oil by gently dabbing with a cloth.
