Using the appliance

Trimming tips
– When trimming for the first time, start by using the comb with the maximum trimming length setting to familiarize yourself with the appliance.
– Since all hairs do not grow in the same direction, you may want to try different trimming directions (i.e. upwards, downwards, or across). Practice is best for optimum results.
– Always make smooth and gentle movements and be sure the surface of the comb always stays in contact with your skin.
– For best results, use the appliance on clean, dry hair, as wet hair tends to stick to the body.
– When too many hairs have accumulated on the appliance, remove the hairs before and/or during use, for best trimming results.

Detaching and attaching cutting elements

1. To detach a cutting element, place your finger near the teeth of the cutting element and push gently upwards until the cutting element is released from the handle (Fig. 8).
2. To attach a cutting element, insert the plastic notch at the back of the cutting element into the guiding slot in the handle and gently press the teeth of the cutting element downwards until they click into place (Fig. 9).

Attaching and detaching combs

1. To attach any type of comb onto a cutting element, slide the front part of the comb onto the teeth and press the notch at the back of the comb downwards until it clicks into place (Fig. 10).
