NB - ENSURE THE POWER HANDLE IS COMPLETELY DRY BEFORE RECHARGING.

IMPORTANT: Before using the appliance for the rst time, charge

for a full 16 hour continuous charge. Maximum battery capacity

will only be reached after 3 charging and discharging cycles. After 3

cycles, the trimmer must still be charged for 16 hours. In order to maintain optimum capacity of the rechargeable batteries, every 3 months the trimmer should be recharged for 16 hours.

The charging cord can be placed into the recharging/storage stand (as assembled) or removed and placed directly into the base of the

trimmer.

1. Plug the AC power adaptor into a 100v - 240v power supply.

2. When the appliance is switched off, place the appliance onto the

recharging/storage stand or plug the adaptor directly into the

base of the trimmer.

3. Switch the adaptor on and the green LED charging light on the

trimmer will illuminate to indicate that the adaptor is correctly inserted into the trimmer and connected to the mains power supply.

4. A 16 hour full charge will provide 30 minutes usage time.

INSERTING THE ADAPTOR CORD INTO THE STAND

1. Remove the trimmer, attachments and accessories from the

stand.

2. Hold the recharging/storage stand upside down.

3. Insert the adaptor plug into the hole on the base of the stand

and push rmly into position.

4. Route the cord through the channel on the base of the stand.

5. Place your thumb on the hinged back cover and push the cover

over the adaptor plug (to the right) to secure the cord and plug

in place.

CORDED USE – OPERATION WITH POWER CORD

1. Remove the AC power adaptor from the recharging/storage

stand. To do this, turn the base over to the underside with the

cord facing you. Using your thumb, push the hinged back cover

to the left until it pivots clear of the inserted plug adaptor. Pull the plug upwards and remove from the base.

2. Plug the AC power adaptor directly into the base of the

trimmer.

3. Plug the AC power adaptor into a 100v – 240v power supply.

Switch the power on, and the trimmer can now be used in cored operation.

NOTE: If battery power is weak, wait about 2 minutes before

switching the trimmer on.

NB – NEVER USE THE TRIMMER IN CORDED OPERATION IF YOU INTEND TO USE THE TRIMMER IN THE SHOWER OR UNDER RUNNING WATER, AS THIS WILL CAUSE INJURY.

CHANGING THE ATTACHMENTS

USING THE ATTACHMENTS AND COMB GUIDES Hypoallergenic Foil Shaver

The hypoallergenic foil shaver has been specially designed for

shaving all bodyzones - chest and stomach area, back and shoulders, underarms, legs and the groin area. It will leave the skin feeling

clean, smooth and refreshed. The dual independent trimmers on either side of the foil shaver are designed to shorten long hair and allow you to easily achieve precise shaving.

The 100% waterproof design makes it ideal for shaving body hair

in the shower, for no mess grooming or as a dry shave. You can use shaving aids such as foam or gel with this product to achieve a cleaner, more refreshing shave.

1. Ensure the trimmer is switched off.

2. Attach the hypoallergenic foil shaver attachment.

3. For optimum results, it is recommended to trim the hair rst if it

is quite long (refer to ‘32mm Trimmer Blade and Bodygroomer

Comb Guide’ for further information).

NB – Always inspect the foil whilst shaving for signs of damage. Never shave with a damaged foil as this may result in injury.

Wet Shaving:

1. Thoroughly wet the body with warm water and apply foam or

gel. This will help to lubricate the body and enable the shaver to glide across then skin for increased closeness and reduced irritation.

2. Move the shaver over the skin, applying minimal pressure only as

this allows the hairs to be shaved much more quickly and cleanly. Do not press.

3. For the closest shave, shave against the direction of hair growth,

or with the hair growth, whichever is preferred, but remember that hair grows in different directions.

4. Tilt the shaver up and down whilst shaving for best results.

5. Rinse the shaver regularly whilst shaving, keeping the appliance

running whilst rinsing the head for faster cleaning.

Dry Shaving:

1. Ensure the hair is damp or dry.

2. Use your free hand to stretch the skin and make the hairs stand

out.

3. Move the shaver slowly over the skin, applying minimal pressure

and allow the shaver to fully shave tough areas of hair. Do not press.

4. For the closest shave, shave against the direction of hair growth,

or with the hair growth, whichever is preferred, but remember that hair grows in different directions.

32mm Trimmer Blade

The 32mm trimmer blade is a universal blade that has been

specially designed for precise trimming of body hair and facial hair

styles. It features ‘Hard Like Diamond’ (HLD) carbon coated blades

5. To remove the comb guide, simply press in the middle section

of the comb guide and push all the way to the top until you can remove it from the trimmer.

Tramliner Blade

The tramliner blade is ideal for tidying sideburns, precision detailing

and creating detailed hair/facial hair effects.

1. Ensure the trimmer is switched off.

2. Attach the rotary blade attachment and switch the trimmer on.

3. Gently insert the trimmer into your nostril or ear canal to trim

unwanted hair.

4. Move the trimmer in and out of the opening of the nostril or ear

the hair growth, whichever is preferred), holding the skin and allowing the hairs to stand out.

BEST CUTTING PERFORMANCE

1. Always inspect the appliance before use for noticeable signs of

damage. Do not us if damaged.

2. Ensure the attachment heads are free from hair, etc.

3. Ensure the trimmer is sufciently charged.

4. Use on clean, hair that has been combed until tangle-free.

5. The trimmer will work most efciently when cutting through hair

at its own speed. Never force the trimmer.

6. Never switch the trimmer off whilst in the hair.

To Trim:

1. Ensure the trimmer is switched off.

2. Attach the required attachment and comb guide, if required. If

using more than one cutting length, start with the longest length

rst to avoid cutting hair shorter than required, until you are

familiar with the cutting length setting.

3. Switch the trimmer on.

4. Hold the trimmer with the teeth of the trimmer pointing upwards,

yet ﬂat against the skin.

5. Trim the hairs using a downward motion, following the direction of

hair growth, or against the hair growth, whichever is preferred.

6. Since all hair grows in different directions, you may want to try

different trimming methods (i.e upwards, downwards or across).

7. After achieving the desired length, use a downward motion to

blend and smooth the moustache hairs.

8. After trimming, lightly go over the trimmed area with the foil

shaver to remove any short hairs remaining. You can also use the foil shaver to create a clean, sharp edge to your stubble, moustache or sideburns.

To Outline:

1. Ensure the trimmer is switched off.

2. Attach the tramliner blade attachment and do not attach a comb

guide.

3. Hold the trimmer upside down, gently at against the skin.

4. Move the trimmer in a downward direction.

5. Having dened the outline, hold the trimmer with the teeth

pointing upwards, yet ﬂat against the skin and move the trimmer upwards against the direction of hair growth. This will then trim

the unwanted hair adjacent to the outline.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

To ensure long lasting performance of your trimmer, it is important to clean the blades regularly.

1. Ensure the trimmer is switched off before cleaning.

2. Thoroughly brush or gently blow away any loose hair and debris

that has built up on the blades.

NB - ENSURE THE POWER HANDLE IS COMPLETELY DRY BEFORE RECHARGING.

Cleaning and Oiling the Attachments:

After each use, the attachments can be cleaned under cool running water. Simply attach the attachments one at a time to the trimmer handle and switch the unit on. Position the attachment head under cool running water and let the water remove any excess hair or debris that may have built up on the attachment. Do this for each of the attachments.

• Do not use hot water to clean the attachments.

• Dry immediately and shake off excess water, then dry with a

cloth.

• Whilst the power handle is waterproof, it is recommended not to

immerse unduly in hot soapy water.

NB – If the attachment heads are rinsed under water, the blades

must be lubricated again using the lubricating oil provided. To oil the blades:

1. Attach a trimmer head to the handle.

2. Add a few drops of the oil supplied over the blades.

3. Switch the trimmer on for a minute and then turn off.

4. Wipe away any excess oil with a soft cloth.

5. Be careful not to use too much oil, and don’t oil your trimmer

more than necessary.

6. Oil the blades regularly to main optimum performance.

7. DO THIS FOR THE 32MM TRIMMER BLADE, TRAMLINER AND

ROTARY BLADE ATTACHMENTS.

8. This light, natural oil is similar to oil used in sewing machines,

which can be purchased from your local art and crafts store.

Comb Guides:

1. Remove comb guides after use.

2. Use the cleaning brush to remove any hair from the guides.

3. The guides may be rinsed under running water, but must be

completely dry before storage or use.

Hypoallergenic Foil Shaver and Facial Shaver: NB – DO NOT RINSE OR OIL THE FOIL SHAVERS AS THEY ARE PERMANETLY LUBRICATED
