OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT: Only use transformer supplied

1. This trimmer is conveniently designed for household use.

It should be allowed to charge overnight before first use.

2. Remove the trimmer, transformer and accessories from packaging material.

3. Connect the transformer to the trimmer.

BE SURE THE TRIMMER IS IN THE OFF POSITION

WHEN CHARGING.

4. Plug the recharging transformer into any convenient electrical outlet at the correct voltage.

5. When trimmer is low in power, it should be connected to the transformer and plugged into an outlet to assure maximum power is available when next used. This transformer is designed to continuously charge the battery without over charging.

6. NiMH battery life may be extended with the following procedure: Once every month, let the trimmer run until the motor stops. Move the switch to the OFF position and recharge fully overnight.

If your trimmer does not seem to take a charge, check the following before returning for repair.

1. Check outlet current by plugging in another appliance.

2. Make sure the outlet supply is not connected to a light switch which turns the power at the outlet off when the lights are turned off.

3. Be sure the trimmer is properly connected to the recharging transformer, all connections are secure and the switch on the trimmer is OFF.

4. If your electricity is connected to a master power switch, we suggest the trimmer be disconnected from the anywhere to define the hair line and clip any stray whiskers.

To remove the attachment, simply pull the edge of the blade away from the body of the unit. To attach, align back tab attachment head to cavity on the inner edge of the trimmer unit.

The following are suggested trimming steps and trimming 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 others.

2. Attach the 5 position guide to trim and taper your beard.

Begin with the guide set at a long trimming length.

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 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 locked solidly into the desired position before you start to trim.

3. To cut the outline of your beard, remove the trimming guide. Starting under your chin and working back toward your jawbone and ears, cut the outer perimeter of your

7 charger anytime the master switch is off. Leaving the unit unplugged into a dead outlet or an unplugged charger may drain the battery.

5. If the trimmer does not run and its completely charged, turn the unit ON and pinch or push the blades manually.

(Oil may have dried out between the blades, so they may be temporarily stuck together).

SPECIAL FEATURES:

A 5 position trimming guide makes achieving a consistent trim every time.

The guide can be removed (providing a sixth cutting position) and reattached without changing the preset cutting length, so once you have found the perfect length, there is no guesswork in achieving it every time. The trimming guide is a two piece assembly, consisting of a base and a comb.

It should not be disassembled. To attach the guide, simply slide it on at a slight angle and press the release tab down to secure in position.

To remove the guide, gently push up on the release tab and slide the assembly away from the trimmer. Adjust the trimming length by pressing on the thumb lever and moving the comb forward or backward to the desired setting.

A detachable blade system enables you to quickly change from a standard width blade for full grooming to a narrow blade for detail trimming around a goatee, moustache or

6 beard underneath the jaw bone. 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 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, replace attachment blade with the detail blade. Use this blade for fine, detail trimming anywhere it is needed, such as the sideburns near the ears and goatees.

Slowly move trimmer downward on desired areas to neatly trim and shape.

TRIMMING ARM AND LEG HAIR

Simply guide the trimmer over your arm or leg until desired hair length is achieved.

Glide the trimmer over your torso region, in an upward motion until desired hair length is achieved. For tight, scratch free trimming, use the #1 guide comb.

Make sure the nasal passages are clean. Slowly move the detailer in and out of each nostril, no more than a 6mm deep.

Make sure the outer areas of ears do not contain any wax.

Hold the ear flat with one hand and carefully insert head no more than 6mm into the outer ear.

Wipe off excess oil with a cloth.
