Charging
The best environmental temperature for charging is between 15 °C and 35 °C.
Do not expose the appliance to temperatures higher than 50 °C for extended
periods of time.
• Using the special cord set (6), connect the appliance to an electrical outlet
with the motor switched off.
• When charging for the first time or when the appliance is not used for
a few months, leave the appliance to charge continuously for at least
8 hours.
• Once the appliance is completely charged, discharge it (until empty)
through normal use. Then recharge to full capacity. Maximum capacity
will only be reached after several charging/discharging cycles.
• A full charge provides at least 40 minutes of cordless operating time.
This may vary depending on the hair you are trimming.
• If the rechargeable batteries are discharged, you may also use the
appliance by connecting to an electrical outlet via the special cord set.
Charge indicator
The charge indicator integrated in the on/off switch (4) shows the charging
status of the batteries. During charging the symbol in the on/off switch
lights up permanently green. When the battery is fully charged, the charge
indicator turns off.
General hair cutting information
• The hair should be clean, well combed, tangle-free and dry.
• If you are not used to clipping hair, begin with a higher setting and then
reduce the setting to avoid cutting more hair than desired.
• Use a slow and controlled movement. Do not force the clipper through
the hair faster than the clipper can cut it.
