here are several things to look for if your trimmer
fails to operate:
1. Be sure the trimmer is turned ON.
2. Check if trimmer head is properly placed and
aligned.
3. Check the blades to see if they are clogged
with hair clippings; if so, use the cleaning
brush to remove hair.
4. If the trimmer still fails to operate, take or send
it to a Conair Service Centre (see warranty

would be best. Once your beard or mustache has
been styled, it is essential that you maintain its
appearance. To do this, use your shaper to trim your
beard/mustache weekly.
For the best trimming results, your beard should be
slightly damp (not wet) before using the trimmer.
This will prevent the trimmer from removing more
hair than desired.
