INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
IMPORTANT : CHARGING
First time use
• The i-Stubble3 is so easy to use, but before you do anything you
must take your time to charge the unit for 16 hours before its rst use.
Even if you want to use it plugged in to your shaver socket, this initial
super-charge ensures optimum power performance to give smooth
fast trimming every time.
After the rst charge a full charge will only take 90 minutes. Maximum
battery capacity will only be reached after 3 charging/discharging
cycles.
• Connect the power adaptor to the socket on the underside of the
i-Stubble3 trimmer.
• Plug the power adaptor into a suitable bathroom shaver socket. If
you don’t have a bathroom shaver socket, you can use the 3-pin plug
adaptor supplied with this product. Place the 2-pin adaptor into the
back of the supplied 3-pin plug adaptor and plug into an electrical
socket as normal.
• 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 will take 90 minutes and will supply enough power for
minimum 60 minutes continuous cordless use. The remaining battery
charge time is shown on the LCD display.
• In order to maintain the optimum capacity of the rechargeable
batteries, the appliance should be recharged for 16 hours every 3
months approximately.
• The i-Stubble3 comes with a quick charge feature.
• Charging takes approx. 90 minutes.
• When the unit is charging the clock symbol will ash until it reaches
maximum capacity.

Operation with power cord (not cordless)
• Plug the power cord directly into the i-Stubble3.
• Plug the power adaptor into a suitable bathroom shaver socket
supply, or use the 3-pin plug adaptor and plug into a electrical socket
as normal.
• Always ensure the i-Stubble3 is switched off and unplugged after
use, unless you intend to keep the i-Stubble3 on charge.

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 i-Stubble3 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 count down
of a further 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 you place the unit in the charger, the travel lock is automatically
deactivated.
Preparation for Use
Always inspect the i-Stubble3 before use to ensure the cutting head is
free from 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 nd your preferred length, but as
a guide, 0.4mm will give you very short stubble, whilst 1.6mm will give
you a longer stubble look. 2mm+ will give you a short beard.
Page 7
• Ensure the comb guide is correctly positioned by pushing the comb
guide gently downwards to secure into place.
• Use the digital touch control ‘‘up’’ or ‘‘down’’ buttons to adjust the
telescopic comb guide to the required length.
• The cutting lengths are displayed on the LCD screen in ‘‘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 required length – the length setting will then remain
displayed on the LCD screen.
• Push the power button to switch the i-Stubble3 on.
Using the trimmer without the comb guide
• Using 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 nger push up on each side of the comb
guide (g. 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 (g. 2).
• Switch the i-Stubble3 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 nish, you can use the trimmer
without the comb guide. This will give you an extremely short cut.
Fig. 1 Fig. 2

IMPORTANT: please note 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.
i-Stubble3 Top Tips
• Use on clean, dry hair.
• If possible, when using for the rst time, try and 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 required.
• It is always best to start cutting with a longer length rst, then trim
again if the length is longer than desired.
• Hold the i-Stubble3 against the hair, the teeth of the comb guide
should be pointing upwards and should be at against the face.
• Move the trimmer upwards through the hair, a little at a time, against
the direction of hair growth. The oating and contouring head will
follow the curves of your face to ensure both accuracy and comfort.
• The i-Stubble3 will work most effectively when cutting through the hair
at its own speed – never force 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 shaving, extra time should be given when trimming under
the neck area, as again this is where hairs grow in many different
directions.
• Never switch the trimmer off whilst in the hair.
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
• Regular cleaning will maintain the high performance of your i-Stubble3.
• 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 ipping it over to the back of the unit and locking
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.
Page 9
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 i-Stubble3 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 they
will need to be oiled. See oiling instructions below.
• Ensure the blades are dry before re-attaching to the trimmer body.
• Ensure you clean the blades after each use and before storing
away.
• It is highly recommended to oil the blades from time to time with
the oil provided. This ensures optimum cutting performance. For
the rst use you will need to use the oil supplied with the product,
unscrew the cap and cut off the very end of the plastic tube with a
pair of scissors to release the oil. To oil the blades ensure the unit
is switched on. Gently squeeze the oil tube and apply 2 drops of oil
onto the blades. Leave the unit on for a further few seconds to allow
the oil to thoroughly spread the length of the blades. Switch off the
unit and remove any excess oil by gently dabbing with a cloth.
