How to Use

Inserting Batteries into

the PG-165

The PG-165 requires 2 AAA batteries.

■Turn the groomer off.

■Twist the battery cap so the open arrow aligns with the open circle, and pull it off.

■Insert batteries

side by side, as
shown, making
sure the (+) and
(-) markings on
the batteries
match those
inside the battery	+-
compartment.	+-
This is important
because the
groomer will not

operate if batteries are inserted incorrectly.

■Replace the battery compartment cap and turn it so that the solid arrow aligns with the solid circle.

Battery Cautions

■Batteries should not be left in the unit if the unit is not in use for long periods.

■To prevent battery corrosion, the unit should be kept in a dry environment.

■Dead batteries should be removed immediately and disposed of properly.

■Do not use recharged batteries with this appliance. The lower voltage in recharged batteries impairs the performance of the cutting unit.

Attachments

■To attach: Set the attachment onto the open end of the groomer, and turn it so the solid arrow aligns with the solid circle.

■To remove: Turn the attachment so the open arrow aligns with the open circle, and pull it off.

Hair Length Combs

LOCK UNLOCK

The hair length combs attach onto the wide trimmer head to control the length of the cut. There are four posi-

tions for each attachment:
Hair length comb 1	2
	1
1- Extra close
2- Close
3- Short
4- Medium short

■To attach: Place the front hooks of the hair length attachment over the front of the wide trimmer head, and pivot it onto the backside of the trimmer head until it locks into place.

■To remove: Push up on the tab on back of hair length attachment.

Usage Tips

Grooming

■Hairs should be dry and free of lotions when using your groomer.

■Comb hairs outward so they are at their maximum height and facing in the same direction.

■Make sure the groomer does not have damaged or broken cutter units, which could cause injury if used.

Beard

What to use: wide trimmer head + comb attachment

■ Attach the desired hair length comb to the groomer head as descirbed on the previous page.

■ Set the comb to

the desired trim length. It’s usually a good idea to

use a longer setting until you are familiar with the groomer, to avoid trimming too much hair.

■Turn the groomer on.

■Start under your chin and, following your jaw line, trim toward your ear and upper beard line using an upward motion. Allow the comb attachment to follow the contours of your face.

Thinning and tapering

What to use: wide trimmer

■Turn the groomer on.

■Use small comb to hold the beard hairs in place while trimming.

■ Holding the groomer with the cutting unit facing away from

you, move the groomer along the length of the

comb.

Beard line

What to use: wide trimmer head + comb attachment

■Turn the groomer on.

■Hold the groomer with the trimmer cutting blades facing you.

■Lightly touch the cutting blades to your face and draw the groomer toward your beard line. For your neck, draw the groomer away from desired beard line.

Ear

Ear canal

What to use: nose/ear trimmer head

■Turn the groomer on.

■Gently insert groomer’s cutting

unit into the outer ear canal. For safe trimming, avoid inserting the groomer more than 1/4 inch into the ear canal.

■Rotate the groomer in a circular

motion, gently moving it in and out as your rotate.

Outer ear

What to use: nose/ear trimmer head

■Turn the groomer on.

■Carefully guide the groomer around surfaces of the ear where there are unwanted hairs.

Mustache

What to use: wide trimmer

■Use a small comb to straighten hairs for trimming.

■Turn the groomer on.

■ Lightly touch the cutting blades to the mustache. Too much pressure may trim more hair than desired.

■ Since all hairs do not grow in the

same direction,

you may want to try trimming upwards, downwards, or across.

■Practice will produce optimum results.

Nape of Neck

What to use: wide trimmer

■Use a hand mirror if you are trimming the nape of your neck yourself. A mirror is unnecessary if someone else is trimming it for you.

■Lift the hair up off the neck, and use your index finger to cover the roots of any hair you DON’T want to trim. This will serve as a bumper to prevent accidentally trimming too much hair.

■Turn the groomer

on and hold it base-side up, as shown.

■Touch the cutting edges to your

neck, and move

the groomer slowly up your neck until it touches the finger that’s covering the roots of your hair.

Nose

What to use: nose/ear trimmer head

■Turn the groomer on.

■Insert the groomer’s cutting unit gently into the nostril. For safe

trimming, avoid inserting the groomer more than 1/4 inch into your nostril.

■ Rotate the groomer

in a circular motion around the opening of the nostril, gently moving it in and out

as your rotate.
