Charging

The best environmental temperature for charging is between 60 °F to
95 °F / 15 °C to 35 °C. Do not expose the appliance to temperatures higher
than 122 °F / 50 °C for extended periods of time.

• Using the special cord set (8), 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
1 hour (model cruZer5 beard: 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 (5)

The pilot light shows the status of the batteries
Model cruZer6 beard&head:

• The pilot light blinks green when the appliance is being charged. When the

battery is fully charged, the pilot light shines permanently green provided
the appliance is connected to an electrical outlet.

• During cordless use the pilot light blinks green.

• The pilot light flashes red when the battery is running low. You should be

able to finish your current trimming sequence.

Model cruZer5 beard&head:

• The pilot light shines permanently green provided the appliance is

connected to an electrical outlet.

Comb attachments (1a, 1b)

• The combs can be taken off by pressing the release buttons (1c) with your

thumb and forefinger.

• Note, the combs can only be taken off, when the precision trimmer (3) is

not extended.

Beard trimming

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

(a).

• Press length selector (6) 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).

• The precision trimmer (3) (model cruZer6 beard&head only) precisely

defines lines and edges, being ideal for precise contouring. To use the
precision trimmer, press the release button (4) and slide it up (c).

9

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 (d).

• Press the length selector (6) 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.

• 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 (h).

• 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. You can also rinse the opened wide trimmer. 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 (i).

Keeping your appliance in top shape

Preserving the batteries

In order to maintain the optimum capacity of the rechargeable batteries, the

approximately. Then recharge the appliance to full capacity.
