multi-purpose trimmer -
face and body

you are experienced, you can create ‘comb’ or
‘finger’ cuts:
- Work without a cutting guide.
- Take up a small section of hair with a comb or
in your fingers.
- Move the comb or your fingers along the section
of hair to the desired length.
- Cut your hair along the comb or your fingers.
- Remove the cut hair using a comb and check the
evenness of the cut regularly. (Fig. 5)
FACE
For the beard or moustache just the way you want
it…
Decide on the type of beard or moustache that best
suits your face taking into account the size of your
face and natural growth and thickness of your beard
and/or moustache. After deciding on the form of the
beard and/or moustache, it is easy to maintain its
appearance by using the trimmer as soon as you
feel it is necessary. For better results, we recom-
mend cutting the beard when it is dry. This helps
make the cut precise and comfortable.
To determine the shape of the beard
After having combed your beard in the direction of
its natural growth, decide on the desired shape by
starting under the jaw. Come back up each side
towards the ears. Then continue on your cheeks
towards the hair. Make sure you always trim or style
your beard against the hair growth.
For an irresistibly soft skin...
The shaving head adapts perfectly to the contours
of your face and gives even the most difficult parts
a close shave. Result: a neat and precise cut in less
time for an impeccable look.
Patterning your hair and giving it a perfect finish
Use the precision trimmer. Your precision trimmer
comes with an exclusive special short cut blade. Its
narrow size (7mm) enables you to pattern your hair
and beard with great accuracy.
To eliminate undesirable nose and ear hairs
Gently insert trimmer head into the ear or nose and
cut the hairs.
NOTE! Only use in the opening of the nostrils or ears
to avoid any risk of injury.
BODY
Thanks to this shaving head for body, you can trim
or shave any part of your body quickly and evenly
(chest, stomach, legs, etc.)
The shaving head includes 2 blades. These blades
shorten long hair and allow you to easily achieve
precise shaving.
The cutting guide used with the shaving head
allows you to determinate the hair length to 3mm
when you don’t want to shave completely (for ex.
underarms).
MAINTENANCE
Remove the cutting guide after each use.
Cleaning the trimmer blades regularly will main-
tain their optimal performance.
Removable blades
To make cleaning easier, the Conair trimmer blades
can be removed. Make sure the trimmer is turned
off. Hold the trimmer with the blades pointing up
and remove them by pressing the top of the blade.
(Fig. 6)
Brush the blades using the cleaning brush to
remove any hair.
Periodically, it may be necessary to oil the blades.
After cleaning, attach a trimmer head, switch on
and oil the blades using a few drops of lubricat-
ing oil.
Oil is specially formulated for trimmers, it will not
evaporate or slow the blades down.

If your cordless/rechargeable trimmer does not seem to
be taking a charge, take the following troubleshooting
steps before returning it for repair:

INSTRUCTIONS
TAKING CARE OF YOUR TRIMMER
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 trim-
mer in its storage pouch to protect the blades until
the next use.
Be especially careful when changing or adjusting
blades. When you have your trimmer serviced, be sure
that both blades are sharpened or replaced at the
same time.
To promote the long life of the appliance, use your
trimmer only for the purpose intended by the manu-
facturer.
GROWING A BEARD AND MUSTACHE
There are three key factors that will determine which
beard or mustache style is best for you:
1. The shape and dimensions of your face.
2. The natural growth of your beard/mustache.
3. The thickness of your beard/mustache.
If you are unsure of the type of beard or mus-
tache that would most suit your face, speak with
a professional hair stylist and ask for an opinion
on what style would be best. Once your beard or
mustache has been styled, it is essential that you
maintain its appearance. To do this, use your trimmer to

trim your beard/mustache weekly.
For the best trimming results, your beard should be
slightly damp (NOT WET) when using your trimmer.
This will prevent the trimmer from removing more hair
than desired.
TYPES OF BEARDS/MUSTACHES
GETTING STARTED: OUTLINING YOUR BEARD
1. It is always best to begin with a clean, slightly damp
beard.
2. After you have combed through your beard in the
direction it grows naturally, you will want to outline
the desired shape, begin-
ning under your jawline.
3. Begin defining your
beard’s shape under your
chin and work upward
on each side of your face
toward your ears. Then
define the upper outline of your beard across your
cheeks, past your sideburns and toward your hairline.
