Beard trimming

Trimming with comb
Note: When you trim for the first time, start at a
length setting that is longer than what you are
used to, to familiarize yourself with the appliance.
- The appliance comes with two combs: a long
beard comb and a short beard comb.
- Use the trimming comb attached to the cutting
element to trim your beard and moustache in your
preferred style. Turn the zoom wheel to choose
from 20 length settings ranging from 10.4 mm to
20 mm (Fig. 9) (for the long beard comb) and
0.4 mm to 10 mm (Fig. 9) (for the short beard
comb). The length settings are mentioned at the
back of the combs.
1 Make sure the appliance is switched off.
2 Slide the comb into the guiding grooves on both
sides of the appliance ('click') (Fig. 7).
3 Turn the zoom wheel to select the desired length
setting (Fig. 9). The selected length setting is
shown on the front of the appliance. The blue
color refers to length settings ranging from
10.4 mm to 20 mm (Fig. 12) and the silver refers to
length settings ranging from 0.4 to 10 mm (Fig.
11).
4 Switch on the appliance (Fig. 10).
5 To trim most effectively, move the appliance
against the hair growth direction. Make sure that
the surface of the comb always stays in contact
with the skin (Fig. 13).
Since all hairs do not grow in the same direction,
you may want to try different trimming directions
(i.e. upwards, downwards, or across). Practice is
best for optimum results.
6 If a lot of hair has accumulated in the comb,
remove it from the appliance and blow and/or
shake out the hairs. Regularly remove cut hair
from the comb. The selected hair length setting
does not change when the comb is removed.
7 Switch off and clean the appliance and
attachments after each use.
Trimming without comb
If you trim without the comb, your hair is cut off close
to the skin (0.4mm). You can use the trimming head
without the comb to:
- Define hair line
- Trim nape of neck
- Remove single unwanted hairs
1 Make sure the product is switched off.
2 Pull the comb off the product (Fig. 15).
- Never pull at the flexible top of the comb.
Always pull at the sides.
3 Turn on the product.
4 Make well-controlled movements. Touch the hair
lightly with the trimmer.
- For a comfortable trim close to your skin, place
the flat side of the trimming head against your
skin and make strokes in the desired direction
(Fig. 16).
- For contouring, hold the trimming head
perpendicular to the skin and move the
trimming head upwards or downwards with
gentle pressure (Fig. 17).
5 Turn off and clean the product after each use (see
'Cleaning').
Precision trimmer
Use the precision trimmer to create fine lines and
contours around your facial style, close to the skin (to
a length of 1/32 in./0.5 mm).
1 Hold the precision trimming head perpendicular to
the skin and move the trimming head upwards or
downwards with gentle pressure (Fig. 14).
Cleaning
Never use scouring pads, abrasive cleaning agents
or aggressive liquids such as petrol or acetone to
clean the appliance.
Clean the appliance after each use.
1 Switch off the appliance and disconnect it from
the wall socket.
2 Wipe the housing of the appliance with a dry
cloth.
3 Remove the comb (Fig. 15) and clean it with the
cleaning brush and/or rinse it under the tap (Fig.
18).
4 Clean the cutting unit with the cleaning brush
and/or rinse it under the tap (Fig. 19).
5 Carefully shake off excess water and let the
appliance air dry completely.
Caution: Never dry the trimmer teeth with a
towel or tissue, as this may damage the trimmer
teeth.
6 After cleaning, reattach the comb (Fig. 7) to the
appliance.
