A fully charged appliance has a cordless clipping

Do not charge the appliance for more than 24
hours.
The ideal charging time is 8 hours.
1 Charge the appliance for 8 hours before
you use it for the first time.
Make sure the appliance is switched off when you
charge it.
2 Insert the appliance plug into the appliance
and insert the adapter into the wall
socket. (Fig. 2)
The charging light goes on to indicate that the
,
appliance is charging.
Note: The charging light does not indicate when the
appliance is fully charged.
Corded clipping
Only run the appliance from the mains when the
battery is empty.
1 Switch off the hair clipper.
2 Connect the hair clipper to the mains and
wait a few seconds before you switch it on.
If the batteries are completely empty, wait a few
minutes before you switch on the appliance.
Using the appliance
Make sure your hair is clean and dry. Do not use
the appliance on freshly washed hair.
1 Comb your hair with a styling comb in the
direction of hair growth (Fig. 3).
Clipping with comb attachment
Use the small or large comb attachment,
,
depending on the desired hair length. The
remaining hair length after cutting is indicated
in mm on the comb attachments. The selected
hair length setting (1-5) is shown in the two
length setting indication windows on both
sides of the length selector (Fig. 4).
See the table below for an overview of the length
settings and the corresponding hair lengths of each
comb attachment.

5 11mm/0.43in 5
1 Attach the comb attachment to the swivel
head ('click') (Fig. 5).
Make sure the comb attachment locks properly
into position.
2 Set the comb attachment to the desired hair
length. To do this, press the release button on
the length selector (1) and slide it to the left
or right (2). (Fig. 6)
Do not slide the length selector beyond the
highest hair length setting (5).
3 Switch on the appliance.
Using the swivel head
From its starting position of 0° (pointing
,
forwards), you can turn the swivel head 45°
or 90° to the left or right. In this way, you
can adjust the position of the cutting element
to the part of your head you are clipping.
This makes it much easier to clip your own
hair. (Fig. 7)
1 Set the cutting element to the desired
position by turning the swivel head ('click'). (
Fig. 8)
Always adjust the position of the cutting element
with the swivel head. Do not turn the cutting
element or the comb attachment.
Do not turn the swivel head more than 90° to
the left or right.
The swivel head allows you to hold and
,
use the appliance like a brush. (Fig. 9)
Tips
- We advise you to start clipping at the highest
setting of the large comb attachment and to
reduce the hair length setting gradually.
- If a lot of hair has accumulated in the comb
attachment, remove it from the clipper
and blow and/or shake the hair out of it. When
you remove the comb attachment, the hair
length setting does not change.
- Write down the hair length settings you use
to create a certain hairstyle as a reminder for
future clipping sessions.
1 Move the clipper through the hair slowly.
The hair on different parts of your head
,
grows in different directions. You may want
to try different clipping directions (upwards,
downwards and across) (Fig. 10).
To clip in the most effective way, move the
,
appliance against the direction of hair growth.
2 Turn the swivel head to the position that is
most comfortable for your arm when clipping
the different parts of your head.
3 Make sure that the flat part of the comb
attachment is fully in contact with the scalp to
obtain an even cutting result.
Clipping without comb attachment
You can use the clipper without comb attachment
to clip your hair very close to the skin (0.8mm) or
to contour the neckline and the area around the
ears.
Note: When you use the hair clipper without a comb
hair length attachment, the clipper cuts the hair very close to the
skin.
13mm/0.51in
1 Remove the comb attachment by pulling it off
15mm/0.59in
the swivel head (Fig. 11).
17mm/0.67in
Never pull at the flexible top of the comb
attachment. Always pull at the bottom part.
19mm/0.75in
21mm/0.83in 2 When you contour the hair around the ears,
only cut the hair ends. The hairline should be
close to the ear (Fig. 12).
3 To contour the neckline and the sideburns,
turn the clipper and make downward
strokes (Fig. 13).
4 Move slowly and smoothly. Just follow the
natural hairline.
5 Adjust the position of the swivel head to
make contouring easier.
Using the precision trimmer
You can use the appliance with the precision
trimmer to contour the neckline and the area
around the ears more easily and more precisely.
