TRIMMING AND EDGING YOUR BEARD
The following are suggested trimming steps and trimmer
positions. You may find different procedures work better for
you.
1. Comb your beard in the direction that it grows to help reveal
stray hairs that may be longer than the others.
2. Attach the multi-position trimming guide to trim and taper
your beard. Begin with the guide set at a long trimming length.
Trim toward your chin in smooth,
overlapping strokes, following the
lay of your beard to avoid patchy
results. If you trim against the way
your beard naturally lays, the
trimmer will cut the hair much
shorter. Adjust the trimming guide to
progressively shorter settings until
you reach the desired length of
beard. You may wish to set the
trimming guide attachment to cut
closer near the ear and down under
the chin, changing to a longer setting
toward the front of the face and point
of your chin. When the trimming
guide is removed, it will remain at its
last length setting until you change it.
Always be sure the trimming guide is
locked solidly into the desired
position before you start to trim.
3. To cut the outline of your beard, remove the trimming guide.
Starting under your chin and working back toward your
jawbone and ears, cut the outer
perimeter of your beard underneath
the jawbone. Continue the line all the
way up to the ears and hairline.
4. Accentuate your beard line by
using the trimmer in a downward
motion. Start at the line you've
created and, working from the chin
back toward the ears, trim the area
right under your beard line.
5. Define the upper part of your beard
using the same technique.
6. For a neater finished look, replace
attachment blade with the detail
blade. Use this blade for fine, detail
trimming anywhere it is needed, such
as at the sideburns near the ears,
goatees, etc.
TRIMMING YOUR MUSTACHE
1. Comb your mustache.
2. To define the line of your mustache, begin with the trimmer
blade.
3. Now attach the 6-position trimming guide. Adjust it to a
fairly long trimming length and begin trimming your mustache,
starting at the top and working down to your upper lip, using
slow, methodical strokes. Use progres-
sively closer settings to get the look and
length you desire.
4. For tapering the mustache, hold the
trimmer with the blades pointing
upward. Set the trimming guide at a
medium length. Starting in the middle of
your mustache, taper with short upward
strokes, working out toward the corners

until a gentle shape is created on the
bottom of your mustache.
