(0.5mm) or to create clean lines around your
beard, neck and sideburns.

of the cutting element against your skin and
make strokes against the direction of hair
growth (Fig. 10).
2 For contouring, hold the cutting element
perpendicular to the skin and move it upwards
or downwards with gentle pressure (Fig. 11).
Beard combs
Attach a beard comb to the full-size hair trimmer to
trim your beard and moustache evenly. The
appliance comes with 5 beard combs. The hair
length settings are indicated on the combs. The
settings correspond to the remaining hair length
after trimming.

Attachments for use on body
- Use the green body guards to trim body hair.
- When you trim for the first 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 different
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.
- When too many hairs have accumulated on the
product, blow the hairs out before use, for best
trimming results.
Body combs
Attach a body comb to the full-size hair trimmer to
trim hairs below the neckline. The appliance comes
with 2 body combs. The hair length settings are
indicated on the combs. The settings correspond
