be sure to hand over these instructions as well.
¾Except when charging, always unplug this appliance
from the electrical outlet immediately after using.
¾Unplug this appliance before cleaning.
¾Unplug charger before plugging or unplugging appli-
ance.
¾An appliance shall never be left unattended when
plugged in.
¾Close supervision is required when this appliance is
used by, on, or near children or invalids.
¾Use this appliance only for its intended use as
described in this manual. Do not use attachments not

Servicing of double-insulated appliances
In a double-insulated appliance, two systems of insula-
tion are provided instead of grounding. No grounding
means is provided on a double-insulated appliance, nor
should a means for grounding beadded to the appliance.
Servicing a double-insulated appliance requires extreme
care and knowledge ofthe system, and should be done
only by qualified service personnel. Replacement parts
for a double-insulated appliance must be identical to the
partsthey replace.
¾A double-insulated appliance is marked with the-
words “DOUBLE INSULATION” or “DOUBLE INSULA-
TED”. The symbol may also be marked on the
appliance. This message about ...
Ground
Fault
Circuit
Interrupters
... can save a life!
¾INSTALL A GFCI*!
*GFCI is a sensitive device which reacts immediately to a
small electric current leak by stopping the electricity
flow.
OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS

ENGLISH
10
¾IF YOU MUST USE THIS APPLIANCE IN THE BA-
THROOM, INSTALL A GFCI (GROUND FAULT CIR-
CUIT INTERRUPTER). NOW!
Your local electrician can help you decide which type is
best for you – a portable unit that plugs into the electri-
cal outlet or a permanent unit installed by your electri-
cian. The National Electrical Code now requires GFCIs in
the bathrooms, garages, and outdoor outlets of all new
homes.
Why do you need a GFCI?
A regular fuse or circuit breaker won’t protect you under
these circumstances. A GFCI offers you far greater pro-
tection.
¾A GFCI can save your life. Compared to that, the
price is small! Don’t wait… install one now!
2. Safety
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.
Electricity and water don’t mix. If
your appliance falls into water while
it’s plugged in, the electrical shock
can kill you… even if the switch is
off.
DANGER
High risk. Failure to observe the warning
can cause serious injury.
WARNING
Medium risk. Failure to observe the
warning may cause damage to property.

ENGLISH

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
also be used in the home.
2.3 General safety information
¾Never use the appliance if the blade head is damaged
or breaking up, as this could cause injuries to the skin.
¾Check that the electrical outlet voltage complies with
the voltage specified on the rating plate.
¾Unplug the electrical outlet adapter if a fault occurs
during charging or when running from an electrical
outlet.
¾Keep the appliance out of reach of children.
¾Also keep the packaging material, e.g. plastic film,
away from children.
¾Protect the power cord from damage. Never pull on
the power cord. When pulling the electrical outlet ad-
apter out of the socket, always grasp the adapter its-
elf.
¾To avoid risks, repairs must only be carried out by au-
thorised Wella Customer Service Centers. This also
applies to replacing the rechargeable battery.
¾If the power cord to the appliance is damaged, it must
be replaced by the manufacturer or the manufactu-
rer's customer service or similarly qualified persons in
order to avoid risks.
¾The blade head must not be dismantled.
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.

ENGLISH
12
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

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).
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.
¾Insert the mains adapter 8in a
power socket.
¾Place the charging unit 2on a
flat surface.

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.

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.

for other than private purposes, e.g. for trade or com-
merce. Should the relevant local, public disposal facili-
ties refuse acceptance of electric devices used for other
than private purposes, the facilities’ recycling advice of-
fice will provide information pertaining to the environ-
mentally compatible disposal of the items in question.
