4 To trim most eectively, move the

product against the hair growth direction.
Make sure that the surface of the guard
always stays in contact with the skin.

Note: Since all hairs do not grow in
the same direction, you may want to
try dierent trimming positions (i.e.,
upwards, downwards, or across). Practice
is best for optimum results.

5 Regularly remove cut hair from the

guard. If a lot of hair has accumulated
in the guard, remove it from the product
and blow and/or shake out the hairs (Fig.

7).The selected hair length setting does
not change when the guard is removed.

each use.

1 Be certain trimming guard is on product

and use setting 0.5mm (1/32in.) to create
a ‘stubble look‘ trim (Fig. 8).

Be careful when you trim for the rst time.
Do not move the trimmer too fast. Make
smooth and gentle movements.
