grain (Fig. 7).
- Make long strokes while pressing lightly.
- You can use the appliance dry or wet with gel or
foam. You can even use the appliance in the
shower.

results.

mouth and nose.

the skin (Fig. 9).

Trimming with comb tips and tricks
The click-on stubble combs allow you to trim hair to
different lengths. This appliance comes with 3 click-on
stubble combs: 5mm, 3mm, 1mm. Start with the 5mm
comb to acquire practice with this appliance. The
indication on each comb corresponds to the hair
length in millimeters.
- Always make sure that the tips of the click-on
stubble comb point in the direction in which you
move the appliance.
- Make sure that the flat part of the comb is always
in full contact with the skin to obtain an even
trimming result (Fig. 12).
- Since hair grows in different directions, you need
to move the appliance in different directions as
well (upward, downward or across).
- Trimming is easier when the skin and hair are dry.
Trimming with comb
1 Place the comb onto the blade, with the teeth of
the comb pointing upwards (Fig. 13).
Note: Always trim in the direction of the teeth of
the comb. This will give you the best results.
2 Switch on the appliance.
3 Place the comb onto the skin and move the
appliance in the direction of the teeth of the comb
