TRoUbLESHooTING
If your Trimmer does not seem to take a charge, check the following
before returning it for repair:
1. Check outlet to make sure it is working by plugging in another
appliance.
2. Make sure the outlet simply is not connected to a light switch which
turns the power at the outlet off when lights are turned off.
3. Be sure the trimmer is properly connected to the recharging
transformer, all connections are secure and the switch on the
trimmer is turned "OFF - 0."
4. If your electricity is connected to a master power switch, we
suggest the trimmer be disconnected from the charger anytime
then remove plug from outlet.
the master switch is off. Leaving the unit plugged into a dead
outlet or an unplugged charger will drain the battery.
5. If trimmer does not run and it is completely charged, turn the unit
"ON - I" and pinch or push the blades manually. (Oil may have dried
out between the blades, so they may be temporarily stuck together.)

head are even.
3 For the top of the head, cut with the grain using the individual guide
comb attachments. The smaller the number of the comb, the shorter the
cut. Comb or brush the hair as you cut for an even end result.
4 To complete the fade, blend the hair at the fade line by trimming up
and out across the line and against the grain all the way around the
head. Then, repeat all around, turning the trimmer upside down and
cutting downward. The final objective is to blend the hair so there is
no real line, just a perfect fade from bald to very short hair. You can
achieve this by using the #1 individual guide comb attachment. Continue
combing and cutting until you achieve the desired effect.
5 To create a part, pick a spot off-center. Pull the scalp tight and with the
end of the blade perpendicular to the head, move the trimmer back and
forth to cut a line. Comb through it and cut again to make sure the cut
is precise.
TRIMMING wITH ATTACHMENT CoMbS
Your Trimmer includes three trimming attachments; stubble, medium
and long. The stubble guide has 1 bar, the medium-cut attachment has
two bars and the long-cut attachment has three
