Charging Your Trimmer

Before using this trimmer for the first time, charge it for 14-16 hours.

n Insert cord into product, then plug

the charger adapter unit into a power outlet. Switch the power on and the red light will glow to indicate that it is charging. Unit has a 40 minute run-time when fully charged.

n The batteries cannot be

overcharged, but we recommend that charging be discontinued if the trimmer will not be used for a long period of time. The trimmer will be fully charged in 14 hours.

n If the trimmer has not been

used for a month or longer, it is advisable to recharge it for 14-16 hours.

n To preserve the life of the batteries,

discharge them by running the trimmer until the blades move slowly. Switch off and recharge for 14-16 hours. Do this every six months.

Before Using Your Trimmer

Detail Beard Groomer is washable for easier cleaning. Therefore to maintain the performance of the cutters, oil before each use and after rinsing. Turn the trimmer on to distribute the oil evenly. Prior to trimming hair, wipe off any excess oil. Be sure that the trimmer is turned off when applying the oil.

Attachment Combs

These attachment combs are for use with the Wide 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.

How to Use

To Thin & Taper The Beard & Mustache

n 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.

n Attach an attachment comb to the

Wide Trimmer Blade.

n Place the flat top of the trimmer

comb against the skin.

n Slowly slide the trimmer through

the hair. Repeat from different directions as necessary.

n 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

n Hold trimmer with Detail Trimmer

Blade facing you.

n 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.

Best Technique

Here are a few tips for trimming the

(C)

various parts of your face, head and body (For guide only).

Cleaning & Safety

Performance Guarantee

To Cut Short Hair Styles

n Hairs should be dry and without

any waxes or lotions before using trimmer.

n Comb your hair in the direction in

which it grows so that the hairs are at their maximum height and facing the same direction.

n Place the flat top of the trimmer

comb against the skin.

n Slowly slide the trimmer through

the hair. Repeat from different directions as necessary.

n 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

n Attach the Wide Trimmer. n With blade facing the area where

you would like to start your trim line, gently lower onto head.

n Move the trimmer gently along

your head to create the style you require.

For more precise designs, attach the Detail Trimmer Blade.

Trimming Edge Of Sideburns

n Using the Detail Trimmer Blade

hold the trimmer with blade facing you.

n 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

n You will need a hand mirror for this

operation if performing it alone - or get your partner to help!

n Before you begin, attach the Wide

Trimmer Blade.

n 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.

n 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.

To Remove Hair From Eyebrows

n Attach fine trimmer attachment. n Gently guide cutting unit to stray,

unwanted hairs along the eyebrow line or protruding from the eyebrow itself.

n To remove the hairs completely

lower onto the skin and move over desired area.

n Use slow and well-controlled

movements.

Care For Trimmer

Your Detail Beard 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

n To clean unit wipe with a damp

cloth and dry immediately.

Every six months

n 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

n 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.

n Do not use liquid cleaners on the

cutters or harsh or corrosive chemicals on the trimmer casing.

Protecting The Environment

The Trimmer contains NickelCadmium cells and should not be disposed of in household waste at the end of its useful life.

program provides a con-

RBRC venient alternative to placing used Ni-Cd batteries into the trash or the municipal waste stream, which may be illegal in your area. Please call 800-8-BATTERY on Ni-Cd battery recycling and disposal bans/restriction in your area. Spectrum Brands, Inc. involvement in this program is part of our commitment to preserving our environment and conserving our natural resources.
