The patented Acu•Control System puts you in
complete control while trimming your facial
hairs with no prior experience needed. The
flexing Guide Comb adjusts automatically to
hug the contours of your face for a trim that is
both even and accurate. And, it's easy to
maneuver over those hard-to-reach areas such
as the throat and chin. The patented Zoom
Lock Hair Length Selector allows you to choose 2
among 9 preset hair lengths and locks into
position so you can control the exact hair
length you desire or vary the length of your
facial hair. The Patented Acu•Control System

AccuVac System
1
The AccuVac System is activated automatically
as soon as you switch the trimmer on. It
collects cut hairs during every kind of use, i.e.
trimming with or without comb attachment and
contouring. The flexible hair guide follows the 5 8
contours of the face and the Flexi-Guard Hair
Deflector directs cut hairs towards the nozzle
of the vacuum mechanism.
It is recommended that you empty the Hair-
Collection Chamber after each trimming
session. When trimming long, dense beards it
may also be necessary to empty the Hair-
11
Collection Chamber during the trimming
session in order to maintain optimal suction
performance (also see 'Cleaning' section, 'Hair-
Collection Chamber').
◗
To ensure optimal functioning of the
AccuVac System, do not cut off more than
14
approx. 7mm of your overall beard length
at a time. If you want to cut your beard
shorter, repeat the process one or more
times.

◗ Use this Trimmer for its intended
household use as described in this manual.
◗ Always comb your beard and/or moustache
with a fine comb before you start trimming.
◗ If you are trimming for the first time, be
careful. Do not move the Trimmer too fast.

Trimmer against the direction of hair
growth. Do not move the trimmer too fast.
Make smooth and gentle movements and
make sure the surface of the Guide Comb
always stays in contact with the skin (fig. 6).
NOTE: Since all hairs do not grow in the same direction,
you may want to try different trimming positions (i.e.,
upwards, downwards, or across). Practice is best for
optimum results.
