Using the appliance

Corded trimming

Do not run the appliance from the mains when the battery is fully charged.

If the battery is low, you can also use the appliance from the mains:

1 Switch the trimmer off, connect it to the mains and wait a few

seconds before switching it on.

2 If the battery is completely empty, wait a few minutes before

switching the appliance on.

Absorbing cut hairs

The suction system is activated automatically as soon as you switch the appliance on. It absorbs cut hairs during ever y 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 (also see chapter 'Cleaning', section 'Hair-collection chamber').

ENGLISH8

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

trimming length setting (see table) (fig. 3).

◗ The setting will appear in the window below the adjustment ring

(Precision Zoom Lock`).

If you are trimming for the first time, start with the maximum trimming length setting (9).

2 To trim in the most effective way,move the trimmer against the

direction of hair growth. Do not move the trimmer too fast. Make smooth and gentle movements and make sure the surface of the comb always stays in contact with the skin (fig. 4).
