Attachment Combs

These attachment combs are for use with the 30mm 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).

■ Attach an attachment comb to the 30mm 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 18mm 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.

Trimming Edge Of Sideburns

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 TTrimmer 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.

Cleaning & Safety

Care For Four Trimmer

Your High Precision Mustache & Beard Trimming System 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

■ Place the flat top of the trimmer comb against the skin.

■ 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.
