If your rechargeable trimmer does not seem to be
taking a charge, take the following troubleshoot-
ing steps before returning it for repair:
1. Be sure the electrical outlet is working by plug-
ging in another appliance to test the outlet.
2. Make sure the electrical plug is not connected
to a switch which turns power off when lights
are turned off.
3. Be sure you have inserted the adaptor cord
into trimmer, that all connections are secure,
and that the trimmer switch is in the "OFF"
position.
operatIng InStructIonS:
1.Before using the clipper for the first time,
charge continuously for 16 hours. Maximum
battery capacity will only be reached after 3
charging and discharging cycles.
2. Always check to see if the charging light is
on when you connect the trimmer with the
adapter.
3. Plug the adaptor into any wall outlet (at the
voltage listed on the label affixed to the adap-
tor). Unplug adaptor when not in use.
4. The adaptor may become warm while charg-
ing. This is normal.
5. Preserving the batteries: in order to maintain
the optimum capacity of the rechargeable bat-
teries, the clipper should be recharged for 16
hours approximately every 3 months.

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 necessary, as this could
damage the motor. (Never attempt to oil the
motor bearing as it is permanently lubricated.)
After oiling the blades, return the trimmer and oil
packet to the trimmer storage bag.
blade care
Because the trimmer blades are precision-made
for a very special use, they should always be
handled with care. Each time you finish using the
trimmer, take the cleaning brush provided and
brush away any loose hair that has collected in
the blades. Then store the trimmer in its recharg-
ing storage base to protect the blades until the
next use.
Be especially careful when changing or adjusting
blades. When you have your trimmer serviced, be
sure that both blades are sharpened or replaced
at the same time.
To promote the long life of the appliance, use
your trimmer only for the purpose intended by the
manufacturer-to trim your beard and mustache.
