Using the product

Always check the product and all accessories
before using. Do not use the product or any
accessory if it is damaged, as this may cause
injury. Always replace a damaged part with
one of the original type.
Note: Switch off and clean the product and
attachments after each use.
- Use this product for its intended household use
as described in this manual.
- For hygienic reasons, the product should only
be used by one person.
- Trimming is easier when the skin and hair are
dry.
Always comb the beard and/or moustache with a
fine comb before you start trimming.
Be careful when you trim for the first time. Do
not move the trimmer too fast. Make smooth
and gentle movements.
Switching the product on and off
- Slide the on/off button up to switch the
product on or off (Fig. 3).
Trimming with guard
Note: When you trim for the first time, start at the
highest length setting to familiarize yourself with
the product.
Use the trimming guard attached to the cutting
element to trim your beard and moustache in your
preferred style. Turn the zoom wheel to choose
from 11 length settings ranging from 0.5mm to
10mm (1/32in. to 13/32in.).
1 Slide the trimming guard straight into the
guiding groove of the product (Fig. 4).
2 Turn the zoom wheel to the desired setting (Fig.
5). The desired hair length setting is shown in
the center of the zoom wheel.
3 Switch the product on.
4 To trim most effectively, move the product
against the hair growth direction. Make sure
that the surface of the guard always stays in
contact with the skin.
Note: Since all hairs do not grow in the same
direction, you may want to try different
trimming positions (i.e., upwards, downwards, or
across). Practice is best for optimum results.
5 Regularly remove cut hair from the guard. If a
lot of hair has accumulated in the guard,
remove it from the product and blow and/or
shake out the hairs (Fig. 6).The selected hair
length setting does not change when the guard
is removed.
6 Switch off and clean the product after each use.
Trimming for 'stubble look'
1 Be certain trimming guard is on product and
use setting 0.5mm (1/32in.) to create a 'stubble
look' trim (Fig. 7).
Trimming without guard
Use the trimmer without the trimming guard to trim
the edges and single hairs.
Be careful when you trim without the guard as
the cutting unit will remove every hair it
touches.
1 Pull the trimming guard straight off the product
(Fig. 9).
2 Switch the product on.
3 Make well-controlled movements. Touch the
hair lightly with the trimmer (Fig. 8).
