Put It To The Test

Like many new products, your Philips Norelco Stubble Trimmer may take a little getting used to. If you are using an electric Trimmer for the first time, or if you’ve been using a different brand, take the time to acquaint yourself with your new Trimmer.

Your Trimmer features an unique stubble look setting combined with an adjustable Zoom Lock to make beard trimming goof-proof.

Throw your scissors away and put your new Trimmer to the test. We guarantee precise, professional results or Philips Norelco will refund you the full purchase price as long as the request is received within 45 days of purchase.

3 If the charge runs out while trimming, simply

connect cord provided to Trimmer and outlet to continue trimming.

Trimming

w Use this Trimmer for its intended household

use as described in this manual.

w Always comb the beard and/or moustache with

a fine comb before you start trimming.

w If you are trimming for the first time, be

careful. Do not move the Trimmer too fast. Make smooth and gentle movements.

Trimming with the Guide Comb Attachment

w Guide Comb Attachment must be on Trimmer in order to use the Zoom Lock.

1 Turn the Zoom Lock to the desired trimming

length setting (see table). The setting will appear in the window below the Zoom Lock (fig. 3).

w If you are trimming for the first time, start by using the maximum trimming length setting (#9) to prevent accidentally trimming hairs too short. As you become familiar with the settings, adjust Zoom Lock to desired trimming length. Zoom Lock will “click” into position at each setting.

2 Switch the Trimmer ON.

After Each Use:

3 To trim in the most effective way, move the

Trimmer against the direction of hair growth. Make sure the surface of the comb always stays in contact with the skin (fig. 4).

NOTE: 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.

4 If cut hairs have accumulated in the Guide

Comb, turn Trimmer off, remove the Comb Attachment and blow and/or shake the hair out of the comb (fig. 5). The selected trimming length setting will not change when you do this.

Never pull off the Guide Comb Attachment by grasping the flexible top portion. Always pull off by the bottom part of attachment.
