Using the appliance
You can use the appliance to trim facial hair (beard,
moustache and sideburns). This appliance is not
intended for trimming lower body parts or scalp hair.
Trimming with the laser guide
You can use the laser guide to dene the edges
of your beard, sideburns and moustache. The laser
guide can be used with the 32mm (1.25in) side as
well as the 15mm (0.6in) side of the trimming head.
Note: The laser guide can only be used when you trim
without comb.
Note: Although the light from the laser guide is not
harmful to the eyes, we advise you not to stare into
the light and to avoid shining the light into your
eyes (Fig. 6).
1 Press the on/off button to switch on the
appliance (Fig. 12).
2 To trim with the laser guide, press the top of
the laser guide to switch it on (Fig. 13).
, The laser guide pops up and its light shines
over the top of the trimming head.
Note: If you trim with the laser guide, make sure you
push the laser guide to ‘off ’ position before you turn
the trimming head. You may damage the laser guide
if you try to turn the trimming head while the laser
guide is still popped up (Fig. 14).
3 Start trimming where you want to dene the
edges of your beard and use the laser guide
to guide you during trimming (Fig. 15).
Tip: Hold the appliance so that the laser light shines
exactly on the edge you want to trim and then place
the trimming head on your skin.
4 When you are nished, press the on/off
button to switch off the appliance (Fig. 12).
Tip: When the motor of the appliance is not
operating, the laser guide switches off automatically
within 3 minutes. In the 3 minutes before the
automatic switch-off of the laser guide, you can use
the laser guide to check if the contours of your beard
are symmetrical or straight.
5 Push down the top of the laser guide to lock
it in ‘off’ position (‘click’) (Fig. 16).
Trimming without comb
If you trim without comb, your hair is cut off close
to the skin. The trimming head has a 32mm (1.25in)
side and a 15mm (0.6in) side. The 15mm (0.6in) side
of the trimming head allows more precise styling
and contouring than the 32mm (1.25in) side.
1 If one of the combs is still on the trimming
head, pull it off (Fig. 17).
Never pull at the exible top of the comb. Always
pull at the sides.
2 Turn the trimming head until the side you
want to use points to the front of the
appliance (Fig. 14).
3 Press the on/off button to switch on the
appliance (Fig. 12).
4 Hold the appliance in the position that is
most convenient for the area you want
to trim and make strokes in the desired
direction.
Tip: For a comfortable trim close to your skin, place
the at side of the trimming head against your skin
and make strokes in the desired direction.
5 When you are nished, press the on/off
button to switch off the appliance.
Trimming with comb
The appliance comes with two combs: a standard
comb and a precision comb. These combs keep the
trimming head at a certain distance from your skin.
This distance determines the remaining hair length
and can be adjusted by turning the zoom wheel.
-Use the standard comb to trim your
beard (Fig. 18).
-Use the precision comb to trim hard-to-reach
areas, for instance under your nose (Fig. 19).
1 Slide the comb into the guiding grooves on
both sides of the appliance (‘click’) (Fig. 20).
Note: The comb does not t on the trimming head
when the 15mm (0.6in) side is pointing towards the
front of the appliance. If this is the case, turn the
trimming head before you slide the comb onto the
trimming head.
2 Turn the zoom wheel to select a length
setting (Fig. 21).
-The length setting selected lights up on the
front of the appliance.
-You can select a length from 0.4mm to 7mm
(see table in section ‘Length settings’ below).
3 Press the on/off button to switch on the
appliance (Fig. 12).
4 To trim your beard, move the trimming
comb through the hair slowly.
5 When you are nished, press the on/off
button to switch off the appliance (Fig. 12).
Tips
-Always make sure that the tips of the trimming
comb point in the direction in which you move
the appliance.
-Make sure that the at part of the trimming
comb is always in full contact with the skin to
obtain an even hair length result.
-Since hair grows in different directions, you
need to move the appliance in different
directions (upward, downward or across).
-Trimming is easier when skin and hair are dr y.

the front of the appliance. If the
comb does not t:
QuestionAnswer
1) you may have tried to t
it onto the trimming head
when the narrow side of the
trimming head points towards
the front of the appliance. Turn
the trimming head to normal
trimming position and then
slide the comb onto it.
2) The laser guide is still on. To
trim with one of the combs,
you rst have to push the laser
guide to ‘off ’ position.
What is the
difference
between the
combs?
The standard comb is most
suitable for trimming your
beard to an even length. The
precision comb is especially
suitable for trimming hardto-reach areas, for instance
beneath your nose.
Why can’t I
see the laser
light?
The laser guide is in ‘off ’
position. Switch on the laser
guide by pressing the top of
the laser guide.
You switched off the appliance
with the laser guide still
popped up. After 3 minutes,
the laser guide switches off
automatically. Switch on the
laser guide by pressing the top
of the laser guide.
You are using the appliance in a
room or area where the light is
very bright. Move to a room or
area where the light is less bright.
Why can’t I
see the hairs
when I use the
laser guide?
You are probably using the
appliance in a room or area that
is too dark. Switch on the light
in the room or go to a room or
area where there is more light.
How long
does it take
to charge
the appliance
for just one
trimming
session?
This appliance has a quickcharge function. When the
appliance starts charging, the
bottom light ashes orange
and white alternately.
After 3 minutes the bottom
light stops ashing orange and
only ashes white. At this point,
the battery contains enough
energy for one trimming session.
QuestionAnswer
Why don’t I
see a straight
uninterrupted
laser line?
The laser light from the laser
guide may be interrupted
because the laser window of
the laser guide is dirty. Pop up
the laser guide and wipe the
laser window clean with a cloth.
There is condensation behind
the laser window. Pop up the
laser guide and let it dry in a
well-ventilated room. The laser
guide switches off automatically
after 3min.
You did not assemble the
trimming head correctly. Push
down the trimming head to
make sure it is assembled
