Trimming with the precision trimming

With the precision trimming head without trimming
comb, you can trim hairs to a length of 1 mm, the
so-called 'stubble look'.

3 Touch the hairs lightly with the precision
trimming head and move it against the direction
of hair growth (Fig. 11).
Note: You can use the precision trimming head
with the trimmer teeth pointing towards the
skin. You can also use it with the flat part
touching the skin and the teeth pointing in the
direction in which you move the appliance.

Trimming with the precision trimming
comb
1 Put the precision trimming head on the
appliance (see 'Attaching and detaching
attachments').
2 Choose the short, medium or long trimming
comb, depending on the desired hair length.
-
Short trimming comb (S): 1 mm / 0.04 in
-
Medium trimming comb (M): 3 mm / 0.12 in
-
Long trimming comb (L): 5 mm / 0.2 in.

front of the precision trimming head and push it

-
Make sure that the flat part of the comb
always stays in contact with the skin to
obtain an even result (Fig. 13).
-
Do not press the appliance with the comb
onto the skin too hard. This may cause the
appliance to trim the hairs shorter than the
length indicated on the comb.
-
In areas where the hair grows in different
directions, move the appliance upwards,
downwards and sideways.
6 Regularly remove cut hairs from the comb. If a
lot of hairs have accumulated in the comb,
detach the comb from the appliance and blow
and/or shake the hairs out of it (Fig. 14).
