• The super stubble comes with a quick charge feature. A 5 minute charge will provide enough power for approximately 3 minutes use.

When the LED displays «00», this indicates that the unit needs to be recharged, however it may continue to run for a short while after.

USING THE COMB GUIDE

The comb guide allows you to change the cutting length of your trimmer. You'll need to experiment to find your preferred length, but as a guide, 0.4mm will give you very short stubble, whilst 1.6mm will give you a longer stubble look. 2mm+ will give you a short beard.

• Ensure the comb guide is correctly positioned by pushing the comb guide gently downwards to secure into place.
• Use the digital touch control ''up'' or ''down'' buttons to adjust the telescopic comb guide to the required length.
• The cutting lengths are displayed on the LED screen in ''mm'' – scroll through the available length settings with the digital touch controls. There are 24 length settings available: 0.4mm-5.0mm in 0.2mm increments
• Select your required length – the length setting will then remain displayed on the LED screen.
• Press the power button to switch the super stubble on.

MEMORY FUNCTION

This stubble trimmer has a memory function that stores the last chosen length setting. When the unit is switched off the comb guide returns to 0.4mm position. When the trimmer is switched back on the comb guide automatically moves up to the last chosen length setting.

SUPER STUBBLER^TM TOP TIPS

• Use on clean, dry hair.
• If possible, when using for the first time, try and grow your facial hair for a few days before cutting so you can trim down to a level that is best for you.
• Set the cutting length as required.
• It is always best to start cutting with a longer length first, then trim again if the length is longer than desired.
• Hold the super stubble against the hair, the teeth of the comb guide should be pointing upwards and should be flat against the face.
• Move the trimmer upwards through the hair, a little at a time, against the direction of hair growth. The floating and contouring head will follow the curves of your face to ensure both accuracy and comfort.
• The super stubble will work most effectively when cutting through the hair at its own speed – never force through the hair. You may experience a little resistance when trimming the neck area, where hair is thicker and grows in many different directions. This is completely normal.
• Just like shaving, extra time should be given when trimming under the neck area, as again this is where hairs grow in many different directions.
• Never switch the trimmer off whilst in the hair.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

• Regular cleaning will maintain the high performance of your super stubble.
• Switch off and remove the power cord if connected.
• Detach the comb guide by gently lifting the front of the comb guide from both sides and flipping it over to the back of the unit and locking it into position by clicking it securely onto the fastener on the back of the handle. fig. 4 chemical liquids when cleaning the trimmer.
• Use the cleaning brush supplied to brush away any hair and debris. Do not use a sharp object to clean the trimmer blade.
• The blades can be removed to aid cleaning.
• To remove the blades hold the handle of the i-stubble with one hand, place your thumb underneath the blades and push the blades away from the handle.
• Gently blow away any hair trapped beneath the blades.
• The blades can be rinsed under the tap. After rinsing the blades they may need to be oiled. See oiling instructions below.
• Before re-attaching blade to the trimmer, ensure the blades are dry and moving blade is in the centre. Please refer to fig. 4.
  
• Please do not use any chemical liquids when cleaning the trimmer.
• Ensure you clean the blades after each use and before storing away.
• It is highly recommended to oil the blades from time to time with the oil provided. This ensures optimum cutting performance. For the first use you will need to use the oil supplied with the product, unscrew the cap and cut off the very end of the plastic tube with a pair of scissors to release the oil. To oil the blades ensure the unit is switched on. Gently squeeze the oil tube and apply 2 drops of oil onto the blades. Leave the unit on for a further few seconds to allow the oil to thoroughly spread the length of the blades. Switch off the unit and remove any excess oil by gently dabbing with a cloth.
