OPERATION
________________________________________
Special features
The appliance has a ceramic/stain­less steel cutting head . You can adjust the steel blade while trimming using the lever . This allows you to finely adjust the trim­ming length.
Trimming hair
1 Put on a comb for the cutting
grade you need (see the table below).
C
D
2 To do this, put the teeth of the
cutting head in the central grove of the comb and gently press on the bottom of the blade head until it catches (1 and 2).
3 Place a towel around the neck
and shoulder of the person whose hair you are trimming. Make sure the person is seated so that their head is roughly at your eye level. Before trimming, comb the hair so that it falls nat­urally and you can see the direc­tion in which it grows.
4 Switch on the appliance using
the switch and start trimming.
5 Turn off the appliance using
the switch when you have finished trimming.
6 Take off the comb. Gently pull
the bottom catch away from the cutting head until it comes loose. Then lift off the comb.

OPERATION
________________________________________
Using the lever
You can continuously adjust the lever while trimming. This adjusts the trimming length without you having to attach a comb.
When the lever is at the top, the cutting length is shortest. The further you push down the lever, the greater the cutting length.
With the lever right down, the cutting length is the same as with a 3 mm comb attachment.
Using the lever extends the life of the blades, because the cutting angle changes with each adjust­ment.
If the blades are blocked by very thick hair, you can unblock them by moving the lever without having to remove the lower steel blade.
C
When you have finished trimming, clean the blades of hair clippings by quickly moving the lever from maximum to minimum with the appliance still on.

Useful tips
7
Hold the appliance with a relaxed and comfortable grip.
7
Always cut against the natural direction of the hair.
7
As you cut, take a break at regu­lar intervals. You can always make a correction, but not once the hair has been cut.
7
Only cut a small amount the first time you use the trimmer. This is the only way to get used to the variable grades.
7
Do not force the comb through the hair. Let it guide you.
7
Keep combing the hair. Only look for hair which is too long and comb out clippings.
7
To ensure good results, the hair should be dry.

CLEANING AND CARE

Cleaning and care
1 Switch off the appliance and
unplug it if you are running it from the mains.

Adjusting the blades
When new, the blades are optimally aligned. However, you need to readjust the blades if you replace them or if you have removed the lower blade for cleaning.
1 Loosen the screws. 2 Align the teeth of upper blade
(ceramic) and the lower blade (stainless steel). The points of the teeth on the upper blade should be roughly 1.2 mm behind those of the lower blade.
3 If the blades are not correctly
aligned, switch off the appliance, loosen the screws again and readjust the blades.
4 Tighten the screws once you
have aligned the blades.

CLEANING AND CARE

ENGLISH
Note
7
Normally you do not need to oil the blades, because they are made of two different materials (ceramic and steel). If you want to maintain the original condition of the blades for as long as possible, it is worth oiling the cut­ting head at regular intervals.

If you do not want to use the appli­ance for a long period of time, please store it carefully.
1 Ensure that it is unplugged and
is completely dry.
2 Store the parts in the original
packaging in a cool, dry place. To prevent damage to the cutting head, put on the protective cover supplied.
