occur. Caution: Do not insert tip more than 1/4" into nostril.

CHARGING THE BATTERIES

The batteries are not fully charged and must be charged before using the trimmer
for the first time. Charge the batteries at an atmospheric temperature of between

4 and 40°C.

1. Plug the charging adapter into the receptacle on the back of the charging stand.

Place trimmer in the charging stand. The blue light on the trimmer will turn ON.

2. Approximately 8 to 10 hours are needed for a complete charge of the batteries.

We recommend charging the battery for 10 hours during the first charge. Never
attempt to over-charge the batteries.

3. When the batteries are fully charged, the blue charging light will turn OFF. Disconnect

the charging adapter. NOTE: For longer battery life, charge the batteries only when

they have run out completely.

CORDED OPERATION

If the trimmer powers OFF in the middle of a trimming job, the
charging adapter can be attached directly to the bottom of
trimmer to continue use in corded operation.

USING ATTACHMENTS

Service Station. Contact our customer service department: 1-800-558-9441 (U.S.) or

CLEANING

Disconnect the trimmer from the charging adapter (if being used) and allow it to cool
before cleaning. Remove attachment from the trimmer. Use the cleaning brush to remove
hair from the inside of the trimmer and attachments. For a more thorough cleaning, clean
attachment with damp cloth and mild dishwashing detergent, run under water, then dry.
Do not use solvents or products with an acid or base pH such as bleach, or abrasive
products, for cleaning the trimmer. Never submerge the trimmer in water or any other

liquid or place it under running water. During cleaning, be careful, as the blades are
very sharp.

Batteries may contain heavy metals such as mercury, lead, cadmium, nickel and lithium,
which can be harmful to the environment when improperly disposed of. Remove dead
batteries from the trimmer and dispose of properly. Some communities offer recycling or
