INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
IMPORTANT! Only use the adaptor and attachments supplied with
this appliance.
General
• Always inspect the appliance before use to ensure the trimmer blades
are free from hair, debris etc.
• Use on clean, dry hair that has been combed until tangle-free.
Oiling Instructions
• For optimum cutting performance, it is highly recommended to oil the
blades after every use.
• When using the oil for the rst time, unscrew the cap and cut off the
very end of the plastic tube with a pair of scissors.
• Remove the blade guard and switch the appliance on.
• Holding the trimmer at a 45 degree angle, gently squeeze the oil tube
and apply 2 drops directly onto the blades.
• Leave the unit on for a further few seconds to allow the oil to

thoroughly spread along the length of the blades.
• Switch off the unit and remove any excess oil by gently dabbing with
a cloth before using on hair.
Charging the appliance
• This trimmer is equipped with Ni-MH batteries.
• Before using for the rst time, the appliance should be fully charged
continuously for 16 hours. This initial super-charge ensures optimum
power performance to ensure smooth fast cutting every time.
• Maximum battery capacity will only be reached after 3 charging and
discharging cycles.
• Ensure the appliance is switched off.
• Plug the charging adapter into a suitable mains power socket and
switch on at the wall. The charging indicator light will illuminate when
the appliance is charging. When the battery is fully charged the LED
light will remain alight.
Note: Always ensure the trimmer is in the I/0 ‘OFF’ position when
charging.
• A full 8 hours charge will supply enough power for 60 minutes of use.
• Subsequent charges should be for 8 hours.
Preserving the batteries
In order to maintain the optimum capacity of the rechargeable batteries,
the trimmer should be fully discharged and then recharged for 8 hours
every 6 months.
• This applies to whether you are using it with mains or cordless power.
Mains Operation
• Ensure the appliance is switched off.
• Connect the adaptor to the base of the appliance and plug the
adaptor into a suitable mains socket.
• The indicator LED will illuminate when the adaptor is correctly inserted
into the appliance and connected to the mains.
• The appliance is now ready for use.
NOTE: The appliance should not be used for longer than 20 minutes
when operated from the mains.

Cordless Operation
• Insert the adaptor into the base of the appliance, plug into a suitable
mains socket and switch on. The indicator LED will illuminate when
the adaptor is correctly inserted into the appliance and connected to
the mains.
• Once the appliance is fully charged, the indicator LED will stay on.
Unplug the adaptor from the mains socket and appliance and prepare
for use.
• A full charge provides 60 minutes of cordless use.
Using the Length Control Dial
The length control dial allows you to adjust the
comb guide to change the cutting length of your
trimmer. You’ll need to experiment to nd your
preferred length, but as a guide, 1mm will give
you a very short stubble beard and 12mm will
be thicker and longer.
• Select a cutting length (1-12mm) using the
dial on the front of the trimmer. Turning the
dial clockwise will increase the cutting length.
Turning it anti-clockwise will decrease the
cutting length.
• Once you have selected your desired cutting
length, the guide automatically locks into
position for a guaranteed, even cut.
• Switch the trimmer on by sliding the power
button up, the blades will start to move and
you can begin trimming.
Using the trimmer without the comb guide
• The trimmer can also be used for detailing/shaping around the edge
of the beard.
• To remove the comb guide, place two ngers either side of the wheel
and gently pull to the guide.
• Pull the guide up and away from the trimmer unit.

Attaching the comb guide to the trimmer
• Slide the trimmer head under the back lip of the guide.
• The guide should rest on the head.
• Click the guide into position by gently pressing the wheel against the
unit.
• The guide should click into a secure position.
TRIMMING
• Use on clean, dry hair.
• If possible, when using for the rst time, try and grow your facial hair
for at least 3 days before cutting. This will give you a better result, as
your facial hair will feel thicker.
• Set the cutting length as required.
• It is always best to start cutting with a longer length rst, then trim
again if the length is longer than desired.
• Hold the trimmer against the hair. Where possible try to hold the
trimmer at a 90 degree angle to the face for best results.
• Move the trimmer upwards through the hair, a little at a time, against
the direction of hair growth.
• The beard trimmer will work most effectively when cutting through
the hair at its own speed – never force through the hair. You may
experience a little resistance when trimming the moustache area,
where hair is thicker and grows in many different directions.
• Never switch the trimmer off whilst in the hair.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
To maintain optimum performance, the appliance should be cleaned
after each use:
• Remove the comb guide after use. Rinse the comb guide under
running water and dry thoroughly before storage or use.
• Use the cleaning brush supplied to brush away any hair and debris.
Do not use a sharp object to clean the trimmer blade.
• The blades can be removed to aid cleaning.
• To remove the blades, hold the handle of the trimmer with one hand,
place your thumb underneath the blades and push the blades away
from the handle.
• To re-attach the blades, ensure the base of the blade plate is seated
in the handle and click into position.
• Gently blow away any hair trapped beneath the blades.
• The blades can be rinsed under the tap.
• Ensure the trimmer blades are dry before re-attaching to the trimmer body.
• After cleaning, switch the appliance on and oil the blades using a
few drops of the lubricating oil supplied. Only use the lubricating oil
supplied with the appliance as this is specically formulated for high
speed trimmer and does not evaporate or slow the blades.
