Attachment Combs
These attachment combs are for use with the 38mm trimmer blade only. To attach, gently slide the comb over the trimmer blade. An arrow on the side of the comb indicates the length which the hair will be cut.
Here's what the length settings mean in inches:
Each comb attachment is marked accordingly on its middle surface.
When first using, you may want to begin with the longest attachment comb to avoid trimming hair too short. Cut the hair gradually using short strokes only to work gradually over the entire head. Always take off a little hair at a time, you can always trim off additional hair later. As you work, comb the hair frequently back into the style that you are cutting.
Best Technique
Here are a few tips for trimming the various parts of your face, head and body (For guide only).
To Thin & Taper The Beard & Mustache
Before you begin, comb your hair in the direction in which it grows so that the hairs are at their maximum height and facing the same direction.
Attach an attachment comb to the 38mm Trimmer Blade.
Place the flat top of the trimmer comb against the skin.
Slowly slide the trimmer through the hair. Repeat from different directions as necessary.
If hair builds up in the trimmer comb during the trimming process, switch the unit off, pull off the comb and brush/rinse off.
To Define The Beard & Mustache Line
Hold trimmer with 20mm Trimmer Blade facing you.
Start with edge of beard/moustache line and gently lower the Trimmer Blade onto your skin. Use motions towards edge of beard/moustache line to trim to desired locations in facial area and away from beard in neck area.
To Cut Short Hair Styles
Hairs should be dry and without any waxes or lotions before using trimmer.
Comb your hair in the direction in which it grows so that the hairs are at their maximum height and facing the same direction.
Place the flat top of the trimmer comb against the skin.
Slowly slide the trimmer through the hair. Repeat from different directions as necessary.
If hair builds up in the trimmer comb during the trimming process, switch the unit off, pull off the comb and brush/rinse off.
To Draw Trim Lines Into Head Hair
Attach the 38mm Trimmer Blade.
With blade facing the area where you
would like to start your trim line, gently lower onto head.
Move the trimmer gently along your head to create the style you require.
! For more precise designs, attach the 20mm trimmer blade.
Trimming Edge Of Sideburns
Using the 20mm trimmer blade hold the trimmer with blade facing you.
Start with edge of sideburn, and with the cutting blades resting lightly against your skin, use motions towards edge of side burn line to trim to desired locations in facial area.
Trimming The Nape Of Your Neck
You will need a hand mirror for this operation if performing it alone - or get your partner to help!
Before you begin, attach the 38mm T-Trimmer Blade.
Use your fingers to lift the hair at the base of your head up off the neck. Your index finger should be covering the roots of the hairs you are lifting to prevent accidental removal by trimmer.
Using your other hand, hold the trimmer to the base of your neck with the cutting unit facing up, and move the trimmer up the length of the neck until the unit touches your finger covering the hair roots at the base of your head. Be sure to move the unit slowly when performing this operation and to keep the hair roots at the base of your head out of the way of the trimmer.
How to Use
Cleaning & Safety
Care For Trimmer
Your Professional Beard & Goatee Groomer is designed to give you years
of comfortable use. To ensure that you get optimal performance from your trim­mer, follow these maintenance tips:
After each use
To clean unit wipe with a damp cloth and dry immediately.
Every six months
At regular intervals the Blade Set should be removed and cleaned. To remove the Blade set, remove the two screws holding the large blade to the trimmer body. The Blade Set will separate from the body and can be cleaned as necessary. Replace the Blade Set and place a few drops of trimmer or sewing machine oil onto the blades.
Cleaning Cautions
Use only trimmer or sewing machine oil as other oils will dry out and become sticky, resulting in poor blade action. Do not use too much oil as it may spray.
Do not use liquid cleaners on the cutters or harsh or corrosive chemicals on the trimmer casing.
Protecting The Environment
The Trimmer contains Nickel-Cadmium batteries and should not be disposed of in household waste at the end of its useful life.
Caution: Do not put in fire or mutilate your battery packs as they may burst or release toxic materials. Do not short circuit as this may cause burns.
Disposal can take place at an appropriate collection site.
