BEARD TRIMMER
Instructions
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS AND SAFEGUARDS BEFORE USING THIS TRIMMER.
GROWING A BEARD
There are three key factors that will determine which beard style is best for you:
1.The shape and dimensions of your face.
2.The natural growth of your beard.
3.The thickness of your beard. If you are unsure about the type of beard that would most suit your face, speak with a professional hair stylist.
TRIMMING AND EDGING YOUR BEARD
The following are suggested trimming steps and trimmer positions. You may find different procedures work better for you.
1.Comb your beard in the direction that it grows to help reveal stray hairs that may be longer than the others.
2.Attach the 6-position trimming guide to trim and taper your beard. With the blades pointing toward you, begin with the trimming guide attachment set at a long trimming length. For best results, start at each
sideburn and stroke downward toward your neck. Trim toward your chin in smooth, overlapping strokes, following the lay of your beard. If you trim against the way your beard naturally lays, the trimmer will cut the hair much
shorter and the result may be patchy.
Adjust the trimming guide to progressively shorter settings until you reach the desired length of beard. You may wish to set the trimming guide attachment to cut closer near the ear and down under the chin, changing to a longer setting toward the front of the face and point of your chin. When the trimming guide is removed, it will remain at its last length setting until you change it.
Always be sure the trimming guide is snapped solidly into the desired position before you start to trim.
3.Remove the trimming guide and cut the outline of your beard. Rotate the trimmer so that the blades are pointing toward you. Starting under your chin and working back toward your jawbone and ears, cut the outer perimeter of your beard underneath the jawbone. Continue the line all the way up to the ears and hairline.
4.Accentuate your beard line by using the trimmer in a downward motion. Start at the line you’ve created and, working from the chin back toward the ears, trim the area right under your beard line.
5.Define the upper part of your beard using the same technique.
6.For a neater finished look, use the close-trim/jawline blending attachment which is also included with your trimmer. To use the attachment, simply insert one side of the attachment over
the front of the blades, and then push the other side back until both sides are locked into position. Then, using the trimmer in an upward motion, start trimming under the chin with short, outward, rolling strokes. Continue trimming until entire jawline is blended.
To remove the attachment, pull tab away from one side to release attachment from trimmer. Use somewhat of a rolling pressure action, with your thumb on top and index finger underneath.
TRIMMING YOUR MUSTACHE
(with Beard Regulator)
1.Comb your mustache.
2.Hold the trimmer in a vertical position with the blades pointing toward you in order to define the line of your mustache.
3.With the attachment set at a fairly long trimming length, begin trimming your mustache, starting at the top and working down to your upper lip. Use progressively closer settings to get the look and length you desire. You may also use the closetrim/jawline blending attachment for finish blending and tapering your mustache.
4.For tapering the mustache, set the 6-position trimming guide at a medium length. Starting in the middle of your mustache, follow the lip line and taper with short upward strokes of the trimmer, working out toward the corners until a gentle shape is created on the bottom of your mustache.
5.As a finishing step, remove the trimming guide and, using only the bare blades, make a definitive line at the bottom of your mustache.
TRIMMING YOUR BEARD WITH ATTACHMENTS
Your Trimmer includes three snap-on attachments, 1/8” and 3/16” and a stubble guide. The attachments are ideal for trimming and defining your beard, as well as for achieving a stubble look. The guides can be used with or against the direction of hair growth
depending on your preference of closeness. For the stubble look, use the stubble
guide every other day. The specially designed rounded guide will give you that few day growth look. Outline your stubble look like you would a beard.
