OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

CHARGING THE BATTERY

This cordless clipper is supplied with two battery packs.
While the appliance is in use, the second battery pack can be
recharged on the charging stand. This means that the clipper
is always ready for use. Before the appliance is used for the

rst time, each battery pack should be charged for approx 120

minutes.

1. Connect the appliance plug (Fig. 1L) on the plug-in
transformer to the charging stand socket (Fig. 1H)

2. Connect the plug-in transformer to the mains
socket (Fig. 2b).

3. Insert the battery pack into the recess of the charging
stand (Fig. 4). The charging process starts. During

charging, the charging indicator (D) ashes red. It should

take around 120 minutes for the XXL BATTERY pack to
charge to full capacity. The second battery can remain

in the charging stand so that a charged battery pack is
always available.

4. Once charging is complete, the charging indicator (D)
lights up green.

The cutting length can be adjusted to between 0.7mm and
3mm (5 possible positions) using the cutting length adjustment
integrated into the blade set (Fig. 6).

Cutting with attachment combs

The appliance can also be operated with attachment combs. In
order to achieve the indicated cutting length, the cutting length
adjustment lever should be set to position 1 (Fig. 6).

Attaching/removing the attachment comb

1. Slide the attachment comb on to the blade set in the
direction of the arrow until it reaches the limit (Fig. 7a).

direction of the arrow (Fig. 7b).

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

• Remove the attachment comb (Fig. 7b) after every use
and lift the blade set out of the housing (Fig. 8a).

• Use the cleaning brush to remove any cut hairs from the
housing opening and from the blade set (Fig. 9).

• The cleaning lever (Fig. 9a) can also be pressed. This
allows the cut hairs that accumulate between the bottom
blade and the top blade to be easily removed using the
cleaning brush.

• Only wipe the appliance with a soft, slightly damp cloth.

• The charging contacts on the charging stand and on the
battery pack should always be kept clean.

• Clean the blade set regularly using hygienic spray.

• Oil the blade set with the blade set oil (Fig. 10)

• For long-lasting cutting performance, it is important to oil
the blade set frequently.

• If the cutting performance deteriorates after long use
despite regular cleaning and oiling, the blade set should
be replaced.
