2 To trim the most eective way, move

the guard against the direction of hair
growth (Fig. 11). Make sure the surface
of the guard always stays in contact
with the skin.

Attachments for use on body

- Use the green body guards to trim
body hair.

- When you trim for the rst time, use the
5mm/3/16in. body guard to familiarize
yourself with the product.

- Make sure hair is clean and dry as wet
hair tends to stick to the body and,
when trimming sensitive areas, always
use a body guard.

- 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.

- Always make smooth and gentle
movements and be sure the surface of
the guard always stays in contact with
your skin.

on the product, blow the hairs out
before use, for best trimming results.

trimmer to trim hairs below the neckline.
