Charging

Charge the Trimmer fully before you start using it
for the first time or after a long period of disuse.

Charge Indications
Low Battery

◗ When the battery capacity drops below its

minimum level, the red low-battery
indicator light starts blinking when you
switch the trimmer on or during trimming
to indicate that the appliance needs to be
charged (fig. 2).

◗ When this happens, there is still enough

energy in the battery for one more
trimming session. When the battery is
completely empty, neither the motor or
the lights will go on. In this case you
can still trim using the cord provided.

Charging

◗ When you start charging, the green

charging light starts blinking (fig. 3).

◗ During charging the blinking green charging

light indicates the level at which the battery
is currently charging. The battery capacity
that is already available is indicated by the
green battery lights that burn continuously
(fig. 4).

Battery Full Indicator

When the battery is fully charged, the bottom
three green lights burn continuously and the
top green light blinks at a very quick rate.

Battery Capacity Indication

Your AccuVac beard trimmer is equipped with
a battery capacity indication. This indication
becomes visible for 5 seconds every time the
Trimmer is switched on or off. The number of
burning green lights indicates the amount of
battery capacity that is available.

To Charge / Recharge

◗ (Re)charging requires one full hour.
◗ Use only the cord provided.
◗ Battery performance is best if you recharge

only when the battery is (almost)
completely empty.

◗ Charging or recharging at temperatures

below 40°F or higher than 95°F adversely
affects lifetime of battery.

◗ Continuously recharging or continuously

using as a corded Trimmer will reduce life
of battery.

◗ You may also trim using the cord provided.

This Trimmer will not recharge while being
used corded.

1 Be certain Trimmer is OFF.
2 Connect cord to Trimmer. Plug into any

120V AC outlet only. Use only the
cord provided.

◗ An adaptor plug may be necessary for cord

usage in some foreign countries. Use an
attachment plug adaptor of the proper
configuration for power outlet.

Do not charge Trimmer in a pouch or for more
than 24 hours.

◗ It requires 1 hour to fully charge the

battery, if the battery capacity is completely
empty. If there is still battery capacity
available, fully charging the battery will take
less time.

◗ A fully charged Trimmer has a cordless

trimming time of up to 40 minutes.

3 Disconnect the cord and unplug from

electrical outlet unless you are using the
Trimmer corded.

Optimize The Working Life
Of The Battery

◗ After Trimmer has been charged for the

first time, do not recharge Trimmer
between trimming sessions. Continue using
until the battery is completely empty.

◗ Discharge the battery completely twice a

year by letting the motor run until it stops.

◗ Do not charge for more than 24 hours.
◗ Do not keep cord permanently plugged in.
◗ If Trimmer hasn’t been used for a long

period of time, Trimmer must be recharged
for one full hour.

Corded Trimming

1 Connect cord provided to Trimmer.
2 Plug Trimmer into electrical outlet.
3 If battery is completely empty, wait a few

minutes before switching Trimmer on.

4 Turn Trimmer ON and begin trimming.
5 Turn Trimmer OFF and unplug.
6 Do not use Trimmer corded when battery

is fully charged.

NOTE: Trimmer does not recharge
during cord trimming.
