15cC and 35cC.

◗ This appliance is only designed for trimming the human beard.

Do not use the appliance for any other purpose.

◗ Do not use the appliance if the cutting unit is damaged or

broken, as this may cause injury.

◗ If the powerplug is damaged, always have it replaced by one of

the original type in order to avoid a hazard.

◗ If the appliance is subjected to a major change in temperature,

pressure or humidity, let the appliance acclimatise for 30 minutes before you use it.

Charging

Do not charge the appliance for more than 24 hours.

Charge the appliance for 10 hours before using it for the first time or after a long period of disuse.

Make sure the appliance is switched off before you start charging it. The appliance cannot be run directly from the mains.

Using the appliance

Absorbing cut hairs

The suction system is activated automatically as soon as you switch the appliance on. It absorbs cut hairs during every kind of use, i.e. trimming with and without comb attachment and contouring. The flexible hair guide follows the contours of the face and directs cut hairs towards the nozzle of the vacuum mechanism. We advise you to empty the hair-collection chamber after each trimming session. When trimming long, dense beards it may also be necessary to empty the hair-collection chamber during the trimming session in order to maintain optimal suction performance (see chapter 'Cleaning', section 'Hair-collection chamber').

To ensure optimal functioning of the vacuum system, do not cut off more than approx. 7mm of your overall beard length at a time. If you want to cut your beard shorter, repeat the process one or more times.

Trimming with comb attachment

1 Turn the adjustment ring (Precision Zoom Lock`) to the desired

direction of hair growth. Do not move the trimmer too fast. Make smooth and gentle movements and make sure the surface of the comb attachment always stays in contact with the skin (fig. 5).

4 Switch the appliance off

Trimming at the unique 'stubble look' setting

◗ Use the trimmer with the comb attachment set to hair length

setting 1. This allows you to create a 'stubble look' (fig. 6).

Trimming without comb attachment

Use the trimmer without comb attachment to trim full beards and single hairs.

1 Remove the comb attachment (fig. 7).

Never pull at the flexible top of the comb attachment. Always pull at the bottom part.

2 Make well-controlled movements and touch the hair lightly with

the trimmer.
