Notes

• Be careful not to cut your hand on the blade when attaching and removing the comb attachment.

• Do not use with shaving creams applied or when the beard is wet. Wet beard can stick to the skin or clump making it difﬁcult for the blade to cut.

• Comb beard and sideburns before trimming.

• Hair trimmings may collect inside the comb attachment when a large volume of beard is cut, so discard hair trimmings after each use.

• If the comb attachment is not attached properly, it may become loose during use resulting in excessive cutting.
