Charging

Charge the appliance fully before you use it for the first time and after a long period of disuse. It takes approximately 10 hours to fully charge the appliance. When it is fully charged, the appliance has a cordless operating time of up to 45 minutes.

1. Make sure the appliance is switched off.
2. Insert the small plug into the appliance (Fig. 3).
   
3. Put the supply unit in the wall socket.
   • The charging light on the supply unit lights up green to indicate that the product is charging.
     Note: The charging light on the supply unit does not change color and does not go out when the product is fully charged.
4. After charging, remove the supply unit from the wall socket and pull the small plug out of the appliance.

Optimizing the lifetime of the rechargeable battery

When you have charged the appliance for the first time, we advise you to use it until the battery is completely empty. Continue to use the appliance until the motor almost stops running during a session. Then recharge the battery. Follow this procedure at least twice a year.

• Slide the on/off button up to switch the product on or off (Fig. 4).
  

Using the appliance

Note: Switch off and clean the appliance after each use.

Always comb the beard and/or mustache with a fine comb before you start trimming.

Be careful when you trim for the first time. Do not move the trimmer too fast. Make smooth and gentle movements.

Trimming with comb

Note: When you trim for the first time, start at the highest length setting to familiarize yourself with the appliance.

Use the trimming comb attached to the cutting element to trim your beard and mustache in your preferred style. Turn the zoom wheel to choose from 11 length settings ranging from 0.5 mm to 10 mm (1/32 in. to 13/32 in.).

1. Slide the trimming comb straight into the guiding groove of the appliance (Fig. 5).
   
2. Turn the zoom wheel to the desired setting (Fig. 6). The desired hair length setting is shown in the center of the zoom wheel.
   
3. Switch on the appliance.
4. To trim most effectively, move the appliance against the hair growth direction. Make sure that the surface of the comb always stays in contact with the skin.
   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.
5. Regularly remove cut hair from the comb. If a lot of hair has accumulated in the comb, remove it from the appliance and blow and/or shake out the hairs (Fig. 7). The selected hair length setting does not change when the comb is removed.
6. Switch off and clean the appliance after each use.
   

Trimming for 'stubble look'

1. Be certain trimming comb is attached to the appliance and use setting 0.5mm (1/32in.) to create a 'stubble look' trim (Fig. 8).
   

Trimming without comb

Use the trimmer without the trimming comb to trim the edges and single hairs.

Be careful when you trim without the comb as the cutting unit will remove every hair it touches.

1. Pull the trimming guard straight off the appliance (Fig. 10).
   
2. Switch the appliance on.
3. Make well-controlled movements. Touch the hair lightly with the trimmer (Fig. 9).
   

Cleaning

Never use scouring pads, abrasive cleaning agents or aggressive liquids such as gasoline or acetone to clean the product.
Never dry the trimmer teeth with a towel or tissue, as this may damage the trimmer teeth.
Caution: Never use scouring pads, abrasive cleaning agents or aggressive liquids such as petrol or acetone to clean the appliance.

1. Switch off the appliance and disconnect it from the power outlet.
2. Wipe the housing of the appliance with a dry cloth.
   
   Never immerse the appliance in water, or rinse it under the tap. Only the cutting unit can be rinsed under the tap.
3. Remove the comb (Fig. 10) and clean it with the cleaning brush and/or rinse it under the tap.
4. Remove the cutting unit by pushing against the teeth of the cutting unit (Fig. 11) and clean it with the brush or rinse it under the tap.
   
5. Carefully shake off excess water and let air dry completely.
6. Insert the lug of the cutting unit into the guiding slot and push the cutting unit back onto the appliance (Fig. 12).
