2. Safety
Please read the instructions carefully, especially the
chapter on “Safety”, before using the trimmer. This will
protect you from possible dangers and the appliance
from damage due to incorrect operation.
Keep these instructions in a safe place for future refer-
ence. If you pass on the appliance to someone else, be
sure to hand over these instructions as well.
2.1 Explanation of warnings
In these instructions you will find the following warn-
ings:
NOTE
Low risk. Points that you should observe when using or
handling the appliance.
2.2 Intended use
• The trimmer must only be used for cutting hair of
small animals.
• The appliance is designed for indoor use only. Do not
use outdoors (garden, patio etc.).
• The appliance was developed for professional use
in grooming-salons and veterenary practice.
Provided the safety information is observed, it can

2.3 Important information about dangers
¾Keep the appliance, charging unit and cord away
from moisture, water and other liquids, and do not
operate with wet hands.
• Do not immerse the appliance, charging unit or cord
in water or rinse them off under running water.
• If the appliance has fallen into water, it must not be
used after that.
• Additional protection is afforded by installing a
residual current device with a rated tripping current
of less than 30 mA in your home electrical system. We
recommend you get an electrician to install a residual
current protection system to protect the circuits.
2.4 General safety information
DANGER
Danger of electric shock!
¾The appliance must never be used or
charged in the bath, shower, over a full
wash basin or other water container, or
with wet hands.
DANGER
¾Never use the appliance if:
– the appliance, charging unit or cord
are damaged.
– the blade set is damaged or breaking
up, as this could cause injuries to the
skin.
– the appliance has fallen or been
dropped, shows signs of damage or is
not functioning properly.
– the appliance is so badly damaged
that electrical parts are exposed.
In all such cases, disconnect from the mains immediately
and inform Technical Customer Service.

ENGLISH
10
¾Check whether the mains voltage agrees with the
voltage specified on the rating plate.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (includ-
ing children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless
they have been given supervision or instruction concern-
ing use of the appliance by a person responsible for their
safety.
¾Children should be supervised to ensure that they do
not play with the appliance. Be careful to prevent
children from getting injured by touching the blade
set. Keep the appliance out of reach of children.
¾Also keep the packaging material, e.g. plastic film,
away from children.
¾Lay the power cable so that nobody can trip over or
tread on it.
¾Protect the power cable from damage. Never pull on
the power cable. When pulling the mains adapter out
of the power socket, always grasp the adapter itself.
Keep the cable away from hot surfaces. Check the
power cable regularly for damage.
¾Do not expose the appliance to temperatures below
0 °C or above +40 °C for any length of time. Avoid ex-
posure to direct sunlight.
¾To avoid risks, repairs must only be carried out by au-
thorised Aesculap Customer Service Centres. This also
applies to replacing the rechargeable battery.
¾If the cord to the appliance is damaged, it must be re-
placed by the manufacturer or the manufacturer's
customer service or similarly qualified persons in or-
der to avoid risks.
¾The blade set must not be dismantled.

ENGLISH

2.5 Safety during operation
• To ensure proper functioning of the appliance, the
blade set must be cleaned regularly and oiled in the
appropriate places (see “Cleaning and care” on
page 14).
• The appliance must be switched off whenever:
– you put it down, e.g. to recharge it or stop cutting
hair for a short period.
– you fit or remove the comb attachment.
– you want to clean or oil the appliance.
¾Use the trimmer only in combination with the original
Aesculap accessories (charging unit, comb attach-
ment etc.).
¾Never attempt to remove dust or foreign bodies from
inside the appliance with pointed objects (e.g. with
the tail of a comb).
NOTE
The safety of Aesculap electrical appliances is in line with
the recognised state of the art and the German
Equipment Safety Act.
Light-emitting devices such as LEDs or infrared light do
not exceed Laser class 1 of IEC 825-1.
Given the present state of the art, components of
electrical appliances are subject to a certain degree of
wear over time. To ensure perfect functioning and safety,
we therefore recommend regular inspection by the
Technical Customer Service of Aesculap Suhl GmbH.
DANGER
Do not touch the blade set of the active
appliance.

3. Preparation
3.1 Charging
The appliance as supplied is not yet ready for operation.
Before plugging in the trimmer, make sure that the
mains voltage agrees with the voltage specified on the
rating plate.
Prior to first use, the appliance should be charged for
2 hours.
It is not possible to “overcharge” the appliance.
NOTE
Should you use both the new hair trimmer and the
previous model, you can charge the new appliance in the
old charging unit (charging time: 16 hours) and/or the old
appliance in the new charging unit (charging time:
16 hours).

ENGLISH
13
¾Place the appliance in the charging unit. It positions
itself and starts charging. The red charging
indicator 1is always on when the appliance is charg-
ing. Make sure the On/Off switch 4is in the 0 position
when charging.
To maintain the charging capacity of the battery we
recommend occasionally draining the battery until
the motor stops.
3.2 Storing the power cable
¾Insert the mains adapter 8in a
power socket.
¾Place the charging unit 2on a
flat surface.
If you do not need the full length of
the cord, part of it can be stored in
the cable storage compartment 9.

¾Turn the charging unit upside
down.
¾Wind the excess cable round the
holder in the base, then run the
cable through the small recess in
the housing to the outside.

4. Operation
4.1 Switching On and Off
4.2 Comb attachment
The further you push the comb attachment onto the
blade set, the shorter the cutting length.
5. Cleaning and care

your trimmer, clean and oil the appliance regularly.
Cleaning the blade set
¾To switch the appliance on, slide
the On/Off switch 4forward.
¾To switch the appliance off, slide
the On/Off switch to position 0.
¾Switch off the trimmer and slide
the comb attachment onto the
blade set until it snaps into place.
You can now start trimming hair
with the trimmer in the usual way.
¾The comb attachment can be ad-
justed to 4 different cutting
lengths (approx. 3 to 6 mm). To
do so, push it to the required po-
sition on the blade set.

Oiling the blade set
To maintain the high-quality cutting performance of the
blade set as long as possible, it must be oiled regularly –
preferably daily.
Replacing the blade set
The blade set is subject to wear. Even if you look after the
appliance properly, the cutting performance will deteri-
orate. Replace the blade set when it is worn. The blade
set can be ordered separately as a spare part from
Aesculap Customer Service (see addresses at the end of
these instructions).
¾Remove the comb attachment if
fitted.
¾Lubricate the areas where there
is contact between the upper and
lower parts of the blade set (see

and use it to loosen the blade
set screw 6.

move it.

it snaps into place and secure it
using the screw.

While the blade set is removed, you can use the
cleaning brush to remove residual hair from inside the
appliance.
Cleaning the appliance
¾Clean your appliance occasionally with a damp cloth,
then wipe it dry.
Cleaning the charging contacts
If the charging contacts 7on the appliance or the charg-
ing contacts 3on the charging unit are dirty, charging
may not be possible or may be interrupted.
¾Clean the contacts using a cloth or wad of cotton
wool soaked in alcohol or spirit.
Care of the NiMH rechargeable battery
To maintain the charging capacity of the battery we rec-
ommend occasionally draining the battery until the mo-
tor stops.
If the battery is run down (motor stops), be sure to
switch the On/Off switch to 0 and place the appliance
in the charging unit.
¾Make sure you do not leave the appliance switched
on when putting it aside if the battery is run down.

Electric appliances must not be disposed of as residual or
general waste.

fice will provide information pertaining to the environ-
mentally compatible disposal of the items in question.
