HOW TO USE

This compact, cordless, battery-operated beard and moustache trimmer offers greater
precision and maneuverability than either scissors or razors. The small, angled blades
allow the flexibility to trim small areas that might be difficult to reach with scissors.

BATTERY INSTALLATION

With thumb, press grooves on battery compartment on back of unit. Slide downward
then lift to open. Insert two "AA" alkaline batteries into battery well with the terminals
lined up as illustrated inside the well. Once batteries are in position, replace cover.
If batteries are not correctly installed, trimmer will not operate. Always close battery
cover before attempting to operate trimmer.

BEFORE USING: Beard and/or moustache should always be slightly damp before
trimming.

A. Using a barber-style comb: Comb beard in an upward

motion; hold the hair ends in place using the comb. With the
other hand, hold the trimmer with the switch away from
face, and trim the hair ends in an upward motion (Fig. 4).

2. Before beginning, use the hair and beard trimmer to cut
beard outline and accentuate beard line. Begin at the chin
and work back toward jawline and ears. Trim outer line of
beard by holding the trimmer in a horizontal position with
On/Off switch away from face. Remove all stray hair from
the beard line by shaving normally (Fig. 2).

1. Comb beard using a barber-style comb. Comb in the
direction of beard growth (Fig. 1).

To accentuate beard line, hold the trimmer with the On/Off
switch toward the face. Using a downward motion, work
from chin back toward the ears, trimming the area right
under beard line. This downward motion will define beard
line (Fig. 3).

3. To thin and taper beard, there are three options: using the cordless trimmer with the aid
of a barber-style comb, the trimmer attachment or the cordless trimmer by itself.

4. To trim edge of moustache around upper lip, hold the
trimmer with the switch toward the face. Force upper lip
down, causing a taut line between upper lip and the bottom
of moustache. Trim moustache around upper lip in
downward strokes (Fig. 9).

3. To use the 5-position trimmer attachment with the trimmer,

simply slide the attachment over the blades. Set attachment
at desired level, and comb through moustache with smooth,
overlapping strokes (Fig. 8).

1.Comb through moustache using the fine-toothed end of
a barber-style or moustache comb.

2.Use a comb to position the whiskers of your moustache.
With the free hand, hold the trimmer with the switch facing
outward, and trim moustache in an upward motion (Fig. 7).

B. Slide the trimmer attachment over the blades, and push

down to position desired. With the switch toward the face,
start at each sideburn and trim toward the chin in smooth,
overlapping strokes, as if combing the beard (Fig. 5).

C. Using the hair and beard trimmer itself: Hold the trimmer

with the switch toward the face. With smooth strokes,
simply graze the top layer of hair in a downward motion.
Be certain to use a VERY LIGHT TOUCH to avoid cutting
“holes” in the beard or taking off more hair than necessary
(Fig. 6).

Once you have completed trimming the beard, comb through the beard to comb out any
remaining trimmed hair.

5. To taper and trim the length of moustache, be sure to use a VERY, VERY LIGHT
TOUCH in a downward motion. REMEMBER: applying too much pressure when
trimming can cut “holes” in moustache or remove more hair than desired.

NOTE: Be sure On/Off switch is in the Off position before attaching or removing the
5-position trimmer attachment.

To use trimmer with the 5-position attachment, simply slide attachment over trimmer
blades and snap it into position. (Check to see that it is firmly attached.) There are five
settings indicated on the guide track; the first setting (1) will give the shortest trim length.
However, to gauge its operation accurately, it is advisable to begin trimming with the
attachment positioned at the setting that is farthest away from the blade (5).

Trim with the grain, using smooth, overlapping strokes. If trimming against the grain,
length of trim will be much shorter. If a shorter trim is desired, adjust the trimmer
attachment by pushing it closer to the blades. To remove attachment, switch trimmer off.
Place thumb over guide track adjustment switch, and pull attachment off.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

1. It is important to clean the trimmer regularly. After each use, brush away loose hair with
the cleaning brush. The cleaning brush may also be used to remove any loose hair
on the attachment.

2. The trimmer blades have precisely hardened, ground and lapped cutting teeth. Blades
should be handled carefully and never bumped or used to cut dirty or abrasive
material.

3. Blades require occasional lubrication (oil provided).
