Description

1a Beard comb for trimming beard and short hair 1b Hair comb for cutting hair 1c Release buttons for comb 2 Wide trimmer (32 mm) 3 Pilot light 4 Length selector 5 On/off switch 6 Special cord set

Charging

Recommended ambient temperature for charging is 41 °F to 95 °F / 5 °C to 35 °C. The battery may not charge properly or at all under extreme low or high temperatures. Recommended ambient temperature for shaving is 60 °F to 95 °F / 15 °C to 35 °C. Do not expose the shaver to temperatures higher than 122 °F / 50 °C for extended periods of time.

• Using the special cord set (6), connect the appliance to an electrical outlet

with the motor switched off.

• When charging for the first time or when the appliance is not used for a

few months, leave the appliance to charge continuously for 4 hours.

• Once the appliance is completely charged, discharge it through normal

use. Then recharge to full capacity. Subsequent charges will take about 8 hours.

• A full charge provides up to 40 minutes of cordless operating time.

This may vary according to your beard growth.

• Maximum battery capacity will only be reached after several charging/

discharging cycles.

Pilot light (3) The pilot light shows the status of the batteries. It shines permanently green provided the appliance is connected to an electrical outlet. When the battery is fully charged, the pilot light turns off.

Comb attachments (1a, 1b)

The combs can be taken off by pressing the release buttons (1c) with your thumb and forefinger.

Beard trimming

• Place the beard comb (1a) on the appliance with the appliance turned off (a).

• Press length selector (4) and slide the beard comb up to your desired

beard length (possible length settings: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11mm).

• It is advisable to begin with the highest setting and then reduce the setting

until you reach the desired beard length.

• Press the on/off switch. Hold the beard comb with the angled edge

against your beard and guide the trimmer against the direction of the hair growth (a).

• To avoid clogging the beard comb with hair, clean it from time to time with

the brush.

Contour Trimming / Styling

The wide trimmer (2) evenly cuts and trims large areas. It is ideal for shaping sideburns, moustaches and partial short beards. Take off the comb. While stretching the skin, guide the wide trimmer against the direction of hair growth (b).

Hair cutting

The hair should be clean, well combed, tangle-free and dry.

• Place the hair comb (1b) on the appliance with the appliance turned off (c).

• Press the length selector (4) and slide the distance comb up to your

desired hair length (possible length settings: 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20 mm). If you are not used to clipping hair, begin with a higher setting and then reduce the setting to avoid cutting more hair than desired. If you want to cut your hair shorter than 10mm, we advise to first cut it with the hair comb (1b) down to 10mm and then use the beard comb for the desired length.

• Use a slow and controlled movement. Do not force the appliance through

the hair faster than it can be cut (d).

• In between, shake or blow off the hair. If too much hair is caught in the

comb, remove and clean it.

Cleaning

The appliance is suitable for cleaning under running tap water. Warning: Detach the appliance from the power supply before cleaning it with water.

Regular cleaning ensures better trimming performance.

Cleaning with the brush

• Switch off the appliance. Open the wide trimmer by pressing with the

thumb against the trimmer from the front side. It opens by ca. 45° and can also be taken off (e).

• Using the brush clean the trimmers and the space behind the wide

trimmer (inside the housing).

Cleaning with water

• Switch off the appliance and rinse the head and trimmers under warm

running water (f). You can also rinse the opened wide trimmer (g). You may use liquid soap without abrasive substances. Rinse off all foam.

• Leave the appliance with opened wide trimmer to dry.

• If you regularly clean the trimmers under water, apply a few drops of light

machine oil onto the trimmers as indicated in the drawing (h).
