Beard trimming

Trimming with guard
Note: When you trim for the first time, start at a
length setting that is longer than what you are
used to, to familiarize yourself with the product.
This product comes with one beard and stubble
guard.
- Use the trimming guard attached to the cutting
element to trim your beard, stubble and
mustache in your preferred style. Turn the zoom
wheel to choose from 10 length settings ranging
from 0.4mm (1/64 in.) to 10mm (25/64 in.) (Fig.
8). The length settings are mentioned at the
back of the guards.
1 Make sure the product is turned off.
2 Slide the guard into the guiding grooves on
both sides of the product ('click') (Fig. 7).
3 Turn the zoom wheel to select the desired
length setting (Fig. 8). The selected length
setting is shown on the front of the handle. For
the beard and stubble guard: the silver color
refers to length settings ranging from 0.4mm
(1/64 in.) to 10mm (25/64 in) (Fig. 8).
4 Turn on the product (Fig. 9).
5 To trim most effectively, move the product
against the hair growth direction. Make sure
that the surface of the guard always stays in
contact with the skin (Fig. 10).
Since all hairs do not grow in the same
direction, you may want to try different
trimming directions (i.e. upwards, downwards,
or across). Practice is best for optimum results.
6 If a lot of hair has accumulated in the guard,
remove it from the product and blow and/or
shake out the hairs. Regularly remove cut hair
from the guard. The selected hair length setting
does not change when the guard is removed.
7 Turn off and clean the product after each use
(see 'Cleaning').
Trimming without guard
If you trim without the guard (0.4mm or 1/64 in.),
your hair is cut close to the skin. You can use the
trimming head without the guard to:
- Define hair line
- Trim nape of neck
- Remove single unwanted hairs
1 Make sure the product is turned off.
2 Pull the comb off the product (Fig. 11).
- Never pull at the flexible top of the comb.
Always pull at the sides.
3 Turn on the product.
4 Make well-controlled movements. Touch the
hair lightly with the trimmer.
- For a comfortable trim close to your skin,
place the flat side of the trimming head
against your skin and make strokes in the
desired direction (Fig. 12).
- For contouring, hold the trimming head
perpendicular to the skin and move the
trimming head upwards or downwards with
gentle pressure (Fig. 13).
5 Turn off and clean the product after each use
(see 'Cleaning').

Hair clipping

- For best results, use the product on clean, dry
hair. Do not use it on freshly washed hair.
- Before you start clipping, comb the hair in the
direction of hair growth.
- When you trim for the first time, start at the
highest length setting to familiarize yourself
with the product.
- To achieve optimal clipping results, always
move the product slowly through the hair
against the direction of hair growth.
1 Make sure the product is turned off.
2 Slide the comb into the guiding grooves on
both sides of the product ('click') (Fig. 7).
