INSTRUCTIONS
Your New Trimmer
Before Using Your Trimmer
■Beard, mustache, or sideburn hairs should be dry. Avoid using lotions before using your trimmer.
■Be certain trimmer guard is at the desired setting. When first using, you may want to begin on a higher setting (#9- longest hair) to prevent trimming off too much hair initially.
■For first-time use, or if the trimmer has not been used for a long period of time, for the MB-30,35,40, 45 and 50, you will need to charge the batteries
for 14-16 hours to enjoy the full capacity of cordless operation. After first use, the MB-50 can be recharged in 1 to 3 hours.
■Use only the adapter provided with unit.
■Comb hairs outward so they are at their maximum height and facing in the same direction.
■Clean cutter blades regularly (see Maintenance section).
■Never use trimmer with a damaged or broken cutter unit.

Operating Your Trimmer
Charging/Recharging
(MB-30, MB-35, MB-40, MB-45, MB-50)
To recharge these models, use only the charging adapter provided.
■Turn the trimmer off. Insert the adapter plug into the bottom of the trimmer, then plug the adapter into an electric wall outlet. The charging indicator will glow green, indicating unit is charging.
A full charge will take approx. 14-16 hours for MB-30, MB-35 MB40, MB-45 and three hours for the MB-50.
■Your trimmer cannot be overcharged. You may leave it plugged in between uses. However, if the trimmer is not going to be used for an extended period (2 weeks), unplug the unit and recharge when resuming use.
■Charge the trimmer at temperatures between 40 – 90°F,
to avoid adversely affecting battery life.
Corded Rechargeable Operation
(MB-30, MB-35)
The MB-30 and Mb-35 are designed for cordless operation only. Plugging in the adapter cord will not provide power to the trimmer, but only recharge the batteries.
Batteries (MB-10 only)
Your trimmer requires 2 “AA” alkaline batteries.
■Be sure the trimmer is turned off.
■Hold the trimmer with the bottom end slightly above the top end. Depress the two locking tabs on the
front and back covers and pull the battery cover off the bottom of the unit.
■ Insert batteries so that the (+) and (-) marks on the batteries face the same
marks in the battery compartment.
■ Replace the battery cover by sliding it back on the end of the trimmer until it seats with an audible “click.”
NOTE: trimmer will not operate if batteries are inserted incorrectly.
NOTE: Battery cover only fits one way. If the cover does not go on correctly, turn it around.
Hair Length Selector and Removable Trimmer Guard Attachment
NOTE: trimmer guard must be attached to the trimmer in order to use the hair length selector.
The hair length selector and trimmer guard
attachment ensures precise trimming and has nine adjustable positions:

■ To adjust, roll the “Zoom Wheel” toward the top of |
||
|
the trimmer to adjust for longer length, and toward |
||
|
the bottom of the trimmer for shorter length. |
||
|
The wheel will click into one of nine positions. |
||
■ Begin trimming at one of the longest settings |
|
|
|
(#8 or #9 to avoid accidentally trimming hair too short). As you become |
|||
familiar with the settings, you can then select your desired length setting.
Trimmer Guard Attachment
Remove trimmer guard attachment if you are: defining hairline edges such as sideburns, trimming the nape of your neck, trimming your beard line on front of neck, or if you want to clean cutter assembly.
To remove:
■Be sure the trimmer is in OFF position.
■While holding trimmer in one hand, and holding
the “Zoom Wheel” to prevent it from turning, gently pull the trimmer guard attachment away from the trimmer. The guard can be removed and replaced on any setting.
To replace:
■Be certain trimmer is in OFF position.
■While holding the trimmer in one hand, and holding the “Zoom Wheel” to prevent it from turning, slide the guard over the top of the trimmer until it “clicks” into position.
NOTE: the trimmer guard attachment can only be placed on the trimmer one way; if it does not fit properly, remove and reverse it.
Trimming Beards
■Before you begin, comb your hair in the direction that it grows so that the hairs are at their maximum height and facing in the same direction.
■Determine how much hair you want to cut and position the hair
length selector accordingly. Remember, until you are familiar with using the trimmer, it’s always better to select a longer hair setting initially in order not to trim too much hair.
■Turn the unit’s power switch to ON, and begin trimming.
■When finished trimming, turn the unit’s power switch to OFF.
To Trim the Beard’s Hair Length
■ Trimmer guard attachment is on.
■Turn the trimmer so the front of the cutting unit (“Zoom Wheel” side) is facing away from you.
■Start trimming under your chin and, following your jaw-
bone line, work toward your ear and upper beard line using an upward motion. Allow the hair length selector attachment to follow the contours of your face. You may trim either against or with the direction of beard growth, whichever is preferred.
To Define the Beard Line
■Remove trimmer guard attachment.
■Hold trimmer vertically with trimmer cutting blades
facing you.
■ Start with edge of beard line, and with the cutting blades resting lightly against your skin, use motions towards edge of beard line to trim the beard line to desired location in facial area and away from beard in neck area.
To Thin and Taper the Beard
■ Trimmer guard attachment is off.
■ Use the unit’s styling comb or a small comb to comb and hold the beard hairs in place while trimming. ■ Holding the trimmer horizontally with the cutting unit facing away from you, move the trimmer along the length of the comb.
Creating the “Stubble Look”
■ Trimmer guard attachment should be
on and set to position 1 (1.5 mm) or 2 (2.5 mm). ■ Hold trimmer horizontally with the cutting unit facing either up or down.
■ Trim hairs using an upward or downward motion against or with the direction of hair growth, whichever is preferred.
■ For an even closer “stubble look,” remove the hair length selector attachment and repeat the previous two steps. However, caution must be taken not to remove too much hair, creating a “blotchy” look.
To Trim Mustache and Sideburns
with the Pop-Up Trimmer (MB-40, 45 & 50) The small size of this trimmer makes edging and defining mustaches and cutting stray hairs quick and easy.
■ Comb hairs outward so they are at their maximum height.
■ Open the pop-up trimmer by sliding the trimmer switch upward.
■Hold trimmer perpendicular, as shown, to achieve desired line above the lip.
■Trim any stray hairs.
Attention: Main cutter is still operating while pop-up trimmer is in use.
■ Close trimmer by sliding trimmer switch down. ■ Turn trimmer OFF.
Without trimmer guard attachment
■Remove trimmer guard attachment.
■Place a finger on upper lip only to lift hair up, away from skin.
■Trim hairs using an upward motion.
■After achieving desired length, use a downward motion to blend mustache hairs.
NOTE: Use slow and light pressure. Too much pressure may trim off more hair than desired.
■ Turn trimmer off.
To trim sideburns
■Comb sideburns following the direction of your hair growth.
■Be certain trimmer guard attachment is ON.
■Hold trimmer vertically with front of trimmer facing you.
■Trim sideburns using a downward motion.
■Turn trimmer OFF.
Trimming the Nape of Your Neck
■You will need a hand mirror for this operation if performing it alone. The mirror is not necessary if trimming is performed by a second person.
■Remove the hair length selector attachment.
■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 horizontally to the base of your neck with the cutting unit facing up, and move the trimmer along the length of
the neck until the unit touches your finger covering the hair roots at the base of your head. Repeat this procedure for the entire area of the neck. 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.
■ Use the hand mirror to inspect the results of the operation and ensure all hairs along the nape of the neck have been trimmed.
Cleaning & Maintenance
