INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

IMPORTANT! Only use the adaptor and attachments supplied with this appliance.

General

• Always inspect the appliance for noticeable signs of damage. Do not use if damaged.
• Always inspect the appliance before use to ensure the clipper blades are free from hair, debris etc.

Oiling Instructions

• For optimum cutting performance, it is highly recommended to oil the blades after every use.
• When using the oil for the first time, unscrew the cap and cut off the very end of the plastic tube with a pair of scissors.
• Switch the appliance on.
• Holding the clipper gently squeeze the oil tube and apply 2 drops directly onto the blades.
• Leave the unit on for a further few seconds to allow the oil to thoroughly spread along the blades.
•  Switch off the unit and remove any excess oil by gently dabbing with a cloth before using on hair.

Charging the appliance

• This clipper is equipped with lithium ion batteries.

• Before using for the first time, the appliance should be fully charged continuously for 3 hours. This initial super-charge ensures optimum power performance to ensure smooth fast cutting every time. Maximum battery capacity will only be reached after 3 charging and discharging cycles.

• Plug the charging adapter into a suitable mains power socket and switch on at the wall. A red LED light will continuously flash indicating the clipper is charging. When the battery is fully charged the LED light will remain on.
  Note: Always charge the clipper with the ‘I/0’ switch in the OFF position.

• When the clipper is running low on charge, the charging indicator will flash to indicate that there is less than 15% battery capacity remaining. A full charge will provide approximately 75 minutes use. A 30 minute quick charge will provide approximately 15 minutes use.

• If the charging light suddenly 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 fully discharged and then recharged for 3 hours every 6 months approximately.

Comb Guides
This appliance is supplied with 5 comb guides.
Note: The trimmer can be used without any comb guides and will cut to a length of 0.5mm.

• The appliance is also supplied with an ear taper guide. This can be used above the ear to get a clean line.

• To attach a comb guide, ensure the appliance is switched off. Position the comb guide over the blades and slide the sides into the slots either side of the blades until it clicks (Fig. 1).

• To remove the comb guide, place your fingers each side of the comb guide and gently pull down and away from the unit (Fig. 2).

Preparation for Use

• For best performance, use on clean, dry hair that has been combed until tangle-free.
• Prior to use always inspect the head for warts, moles, spots and broken skin. Special care should be taken to avoid injury and cuts.
• Remove any head jewellery such as earrings and necklaces before use.
  Note: The appliance should not be used for longer than 20 minutes when operated from the mains.

WARNING! The clipper is for use only on the head. Never use the clipper on the face or any other area of the body.

Clipping

• Attach the comb guide length of your choice. Grade 1 = 3mm, Grade 2 = 6mm, Grade 3 = 9.5mm, Grade 4 = 13 mm.
• Switch on the clipper using the on/off sliding switch located on top of the clipper. The blades will start to move and the green LED will illuminate.
• Starting at the nape of the neck, hold the clipper with the teeth of the clipper pointing upwards and the comb guide flat on the head. Slowly move the clipper upwards, through the hair, and towards the front of the head in a forward sweeping motion. Once at the front of the head, engage the opposite blade in a backward sweeping motion to move from the front of the head, back to the nape of the neck.
• Continue with this sweeping motion, running from the nape of the neck to the front of the head until you reach an even length all over.
• To tidy longer hairs around the ears and neckline, simply remove the comb guide and use the blade for neatening edges and shaping sideburns.
• Only apply gentle pressure. Never force the clipper, if resistance is experienced lift clipper away from the head, empty hair from the clipper and resume clipping.
• If using on areas where there are folds of skin, ensure the skin is stretched taught prior to cutting hair in this area.
• If you experience any discomfort stop using immediately.
• If you require a grade 0 (0.5mm) cut, the clipper can be used without a comb guide attached.
  Please Note : When you first begin cutting your hair, you may notice that some hair is being cut, while others are left long. This is perfectly normal, especially if cutting slightly longer hair because hair grows in many different directions. Continue cutting in a back and forth sweeping motion until all the hair is cut to an even length.

Removing the blades

• The blades can be removed to aid cleaning.
• To remove the blades, hold the handle with two hands. Place your two thumbs underneath the blades and push the blades away from the handle (Fig. 3).
• 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’.
• Be sure the blades are dry before reattaching to the clipper body.
• To reattach the blades, put the position rib of the blades into the slot on the clipper body (Fig. 4). Then hold the handle with two hands and press downward with both thumbs (Fig. 5). There will be a clicking noise when the blades are securely attached when attaching the blades.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

To maintain optimum performance, the appliance should be cleaned after each use:

•  Remove the comb guide after use. Rinse the comb guide under running water and dry thoroughly before storage or use.
• Never place the clipper under running water.
• After each use ensure hair is emptied from the blade area and use the cleaning brush to clean thoroughly.
• It is highly recommended to apply a small amount of oil to the blades before each use.
• Wipe the outside with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly before use or storage.
