If your rechargeable trimmer does not seem to be
taking a charge, take the following troubleshoot-
ing steps before returning it for repair:
1. Be sure the electrical outlet is working by plug-
ging in another appliance to test the outlet.
2. Make sure the electrical plug is not connected
to a switch which turns power off when lights
are turned off.
3. Be sure you have inserted the adaptor cord
into trimmer, that all connections are secure,
and that the trimmer switch is in the "OFF"
position.
operatIng InStructIonS:
1. Before using your trimmer for the first time,
place the unit in the charging stand and charge
it for 16 hours. Always place the trimmer in
the base with the ON/OFF switch in the OFF
position.
2. Always check to see if the charging light is on
when you place the trimmer in the charging
stand. The switch must face forward for the
trimmer to slide properly into the base.
3. Plug the charger into any wall outlet (at the
voltage listed on the label affixed to the charg-
ing stand).
4. The charging stand can remain plugged into
the power source at all times without damage
to the battery.
5. To ensure that maximum charge is always
available, leave your trimmer in the charging
stand at all times. This will not overcharge or
damage the trimmer.
6. The charging stand may become warm while
charging. This is normal.
Preserving the batteries:
In order to maintain the optimum capacity of
the rechargeable batteries, the unit should be
recharged for 16 hours every 3 months approxi-
mately.

oIlIng the bladeS
About once a month you should oil the trimmer
blades with the oil provided in your kit. It is best
to do this over a piece of newspaper. Turn the
trimmer on and hold it so that the blades are
pointed downward. Spread one drop of oil across
the blades, then turn the trimmer off and wipe
away the excess oil with a soft cloth.
Be careful not to use too much oil and don't oil
your trimmer more than necessary, as this could
damage the motor. (Never attempt to oil the
motor bearing as it is permanently lubricated.)
After oiling the blades, return the trimmer and oil
packet to the trimmer storage base.
blade care
Because the trimmer blades are precision-made
for a very special use, they should always be
handled with care. Each time you finish using the
trimmer, take the cleaning brush provided and
brush away any loose hair that has collected in
the blades. Then store the trimmer in its recharg-
ing storage base to protect the blades until the
next use.
