NOTE: Never pull on the clipper cord.
Never twist or wrap the cord around the
clipper; lay it flat with the cord coiled up
when not in use.
TO OPERATE TRIMMER
1. Make sure unit is "off". Remove clip-
per blade by simply placing your
thumb in front of the blade and push-
ing back until the blade detaches.
Use cleaning brush to remove any
loose hair before attaching the trim-
mer blade. Attach blade from the back,
(lining it up with the small tab) and
then push forward until the blade snaps
into place. Be sure that the taper con-
trol is set to the lowest setting (switch
will be away from the blade) before
replacing the blade.
2. To trim your mustache, comb hair in
the direction of growth. Push the
taper control button to its highest
setting. Trimming only works in this
setting. Hold trimmer in an upright
position and bring the tip of the blade
straight into the mustache to trim.
3. To clean the trimmer, turn unit to
"OFF" position. Using your thumb,
press upwards against the blade. This
will make it easy to clean. Brush
or blow hair clippings from the cutter
blade.
4. Again, snap in the blade set until you
hear a click. For trimming a beard,
goatee and neck, the fine trimming
blade head is recommended. This
trimmer attachment also works well
on sideburns, short beard styles and
mustaches. For thick, full beards we
recommend using the clipper blade.
TAKING CARE OF YOUR TRIMMER
Oiling the Blades
About once a month you should oil the
trimmer blades with the oil provided in
your kit. It is best to do this over a piece
of newspaper. Turn the trimmer on and
hold it so that the blades are pointed
downward. Spread one drop of oil across
the blades, then turn the trimmer off
and wipe away the excess oil with a soft
cloth.
Be careful not to use too much oil and
don't oil your trimmer more than neces-
sary, as this could damage the motor.
(Never attempt to oil the motor bearing,
as it is permanently lubricated.) Keep oil
away from children.
BLADE CARE
Because the trimmer blades are preci-
sion-made for a very special use, they
should always be handled with care.
