Operation
Cutting with the attachment comb
The appliance can also be operated with attachment combs.
Attachment combs can be used to extend the cutting length
range.
Attaching/removing the attachment comb
1. Fit the attachment comb onto the bottom edge of the
blade set (Fig. 4ⓐ) and push it over the cutting edge of
the bottom blade until it locks (Fig. 4ⓑ).
2. Push the attachment comb towards the cutting edge of the
bottom blade (Fig. 5) and remove it from the blade set.
Changing the blade set
1. Switch off the appliance using the on/off switch (Fig. 3).
2. Press the release button (B) (Fig. 6ⓐ) towards the blade
set and lift the blade set out of the housing (Fig. 6ⓑ).
3. Remove the blade set from the clip (Fig. 6ⓒ).
4. Attach the new blade set onto the clip (Fig. 8ⓐ).
Ensure that the clip is folded out. If this is not the
case, you can fold out the clip with a flat screwdriver
(Fig. 7).
5. Switch the appliance on (Fig. 3), then push the blade set
against the hand-held appliance until it audibly clicks into
place and the blade moves (Fig. 8ⓑ).
Maintenance
Warning! Injuries and material damage due to
incorrect handling.
f Switch off the appliance before cleaning it or
performing any maintenance. Disconnect the
appliance from the power supply.
Cleaning and care
Danger! Electric shock due to penetration of
liquid.
f Do not immerse the appliance in water!
f Do not allow any liquid to get inside the
appliance.
Caution! Danger from aggressive chemicals.
Aggressive chemicals could damage the appliance
and accessories.
f Never use solvents or scouring agents.
f Only use cleaning agents and blade set oil recom-
mended by the manufacturer.
Accessories and spare parts are available from your
dealer or our service centre.
f Remove the attachment comb (Fig. 5) after every use and
lift the blade set out of the casing (Fig. 6). Use the cleaning
brush to remove any cut hairs from the housing opening
and from the blade set (Fig. 9).
Caution! Injuries due to incorrect handling.
f The blade set must not be unscrewed.
f The top blade must not be pushed out
completely!
f Push the top blade to the side (Fig. 9ⓐ) and remove cut
hairs from the top and bottom blade using the cleaning
brush. After cleaning, return the top blade to its initial
position (Fig. 9ⓑ). The top blade should be aligned in the
centre of the bottom blade.
f After cleaning the blade set, we recommend using hygienic
spray. It keeps all blade sets hygienically clean and is effec-
tive against bacteria and viruses.
f Oil the blade set with the blade set oil (Fig. 10).
f We recommend that you clean and care for your blade set
during and after clipping with Blade Ice spray. The Blade
Ice spray ensures instant cooling, oiling and cleaning of the
blade set, while also protecting against corrosion.
f Reattach the blade set after cleaning (Fig. 7/8). Switch the
appliance on briefly (approx. 10 seconds) to ensure the oil
film is evenly distributed.
