3. To refit the comb, slide the comb into the guides and press it all the way down until it clicks.

ADJUSTING THE CUTTING LENGTH OF YOUR TRIMMER

Your trimmer can be adjusted manually in 0.1 mm increments. It can also store and recall the last four trimming lengths used (Profiles).

Adjusting manually

1. Use the up and down buttons to manually adjust the cutting length. Tap the appropriate button to move the comb up or down in 0.1 mm increments.
2. Hold your finger on the button to move the comb quickly.
3. The display will show the selected length setting.

Note: The length settings cannot be changed while the trimmer is running.

Using profiles

When you adjust the comb length and then operate your trimmer the length setting will automatically be stored in profile one. Your trimmer will store the four most recently used settings in the order of the most recently used. This allows you to recall the settings you use most often.

If all four profile locations have a setting stored and then you make a new cutting length adjustment (one that has not been previously stored) the oldest profile will be deleted and the new setting will be stored.

To recall a profile:

1. Ensure that the trimmer is stopped. Tap the profiles button .

3. Tap the profile button again to select that profile.
4. The comb will then move to the position stored in the selected profile.

To exit profile mode:
To exit without selecting a profile, either press the on/off button, or don't press any button for 5 seconds. Profile mode will be exited without any changes being made to the comb length setting.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

During use, your trimmer will automatically adapt its speed and cutting rate according to the hair thickness being cut.

Trimming your beard

For even cutting, allow your trimmer to cut its way through the beard hair.
Do not force it through quickly. If you are cutting for the first time, start with the maximum comb length setting.

Thinning or tapering the beard or moustache

1. Use the controls to set the trimmer comb to the desired length setting.
2. Place the flat top of the trimmer comb against the skin.
3. Slowly slide the trimmer through the hair. Repeat from different directions as required.
4. If hair builds up in the trimmer comb during the trimming process, switch the unit off, pull off the comb and brush the hair off.

Trimming your sideburns

1. Hold your trimmer with blade facing you.
2. Start with edge of your sideburns. With the trimmer blade resting lightly against your skin, move your trimmer carefully towards your sideburn until the desired shape is achieved.

Trimming the nape of your neck

1. Remove the adjustable comb.
2. Use the fingers of one hand to lift the hair at the base of your head up off your neck.
3. Your index finger should be covering the roots of the hairs you are lifting to prevent them from being accidentally cut.
4. Hold the trimmer to the base of your neck with the blade facing up. Move the trimmer up the neck until it touches your index finger which is protecting the hair roots.
5. Move your trimmer slowly and keep the hair roots at the base of your head out of the way of the trimmer.

TIPS FOR BEST RESULTS

• Your beard, moustache or sideburn hair should be dry.
• Avoid applying lotions before use.
• If you are trimming for the first time, start with the adjustable comb set to its maximum length position.
