·· It should take around 10 hours for the appliance to charge to full capacity.
Battery operation
1. Switch on the appliance using the on/off switch and switch off after use (Fig. 3ⓑ/ⓑ).
·· When the battery is fully charged, the appliance can be used for up to 100 minutes without mains connection. This capacity is attained after approx.
5 - 10 charging cycles.
·· In case of insufficient maintenance of the blade set, the operating time can be reduced considerably.

Operation
Cutting with the attachment combs
The appliance can also be operated with attachment combs.
The following attachment combs are included as standard:
·· Attachment comb small = cutting lengths 3 mm and 6 mm
·· Attachment comb large = cutting lengths 9 mm and 12 mm
·· The cutting length (in mm) is shown on the attachment comb.
·· One attachment comb can be used for two different cutting lengths. For the second cutting length, all you need to do is remove the attachment
comb, rotate and replace.
·· The advantage of these attachment combs is that no matter the angle at which you approach the hair, you always achieve the same cutting length.
Attaching/removing the attachment comb

housing until it clicks into position (Fig. 4ⓑ).
2. The attachment comb can be removed by pushing it in towards the cutting edge (Fig. 4ⓑ).
