INSTRUCTIONS
FOR USE
IMPORTANT : CHARGING
FIRST TIME USE
The Super Stubble is so easy to use, but before
you do anything you must take your time to
charge the unit for 3 hours before its first use.
Even if you want to use it plugged in to your
shaver socket, this initial super-charge ensures
optimum power performance to give smooth
fast trimming every time. After the first charge a
full charge will only take 90 minutes. Maximum
battery capacity will only be reached after 3
charging/discharging cycles.
• Connect the power adaptor to the socket on
the underside of the charging stand
• Always check that the charging indicator on
the LED comes on when you place the
product in the power stand.
REGULAR CHARGING
• A full charge will take 90 minutes and will
supply enough power for minimum 60
minutes continuous cordless use. The
approximate remaining using time is shown
on the LED display.
• In order to maintain the optimum capacity
of the rechargeable batteries, the appliance
should be recharged for 3 hours every 3
months approximately.
• The super stubble comes with a quick
charge feature. A 5 minute charge will
provide enough power for approximately 3
minutes use.
• Charging takes approx. 90 minutes.
• When the unit is charging the display lights
up for a few seconds showing the running
time remaining. The minutes will flash
increase until it reaches maximum capacity
of 60 minutes.
• When LED display has less than 5 minutes
left, the time symbol indication will change
to red.
PREPARATION FOR USE
Always inspect the super stubble before use to
ensure the cutting head is free from hair and
debris and is running smoothly.
OPERATION
To switch the super stubble on, press the O/I
button. The LED will also show the selected
cutting height and approximate usage time
remaining. After 10 seconds, the blue LED for
the usage time remaining will be switched off
but cutting height LED will be kept illuminated
whilst the motor runs. When there is approxi-
mately 5 minutes left shown on the LED
display, the time symbol will change colour to
red and will also start to flash. When the LED
displays «00», this indicates that the unit needs
to be recharged, however it may continue to
run for a short while after.
USING THE COMB GUIDE
The comb guide allows you to change the
cutting length of your trimmer. You’ll need to
experiment to find your preferred length, but as
a guide, 0.4mm will give you very short stubble,
whilst 1.6mm will give you a longer stubble
look. 2mm+ will give you a short beard.
• Ensure the comb guide is correctly
positioned by pushing the comb guide gently
downwards to secure into place.
• Use the digital touch control ‘‘up’’ or ‘‘down’’
buttons to adjust the telescopic comb guide
to the required length.

• The cutting lengths are displayed on the LED
screen in ‘‘mm’’ – scroll through the
available length settings with the digital
touch controls. There are 24 length settings
available: 0.4mm-5.0mm in 0.2mm
increments
• Select your required length – the length
setting will then remain displayed on the
LED screen.
• Press the power button to switch the super
stubble on.
MEMORY FUNCTION
This stubble trimmer has a memory function
that stores the last chosen length setting. When
the unit is switched off the comb guide returns
to 0.4mm position. When the trimmer is
switched back on the comb guide automatically
moves up to the last chosen length setting.
TRAVEL LOCK FEATURE
The Conair For Men Super Stubble has a travel
lock feature which will lock all buttons from
activating accidently.
• To activate the travel lock, press and hold
the I/O button for 2 seconds until the time
display counts downs from 5 to 1. When the
countdown reaches 1, the lock signal is
shown.
• To de-activate the travel lock press and hold
the I/O button for 2 seconds until the time
display starts to count down from 5 to 1 and
the motor switches on and starts running.
The travel lock is now de-activated.
• When you place the unit in the charger, the
travel lock is automatically deactivated.
USING THE TRIMMER WITHOUT
THE COMB GUIDE
Using without the comb guide is ideal for
detailing/shaping and general tidying of edges.
• To detach the comb guide, gently hold the
trimmer in one hand and with your thumb
and index finger push up on each side of the
comb guide (fig. 1). Flip the comb guide to
the back of the unit, gently pull down and
secure under the latch to lock into place
(fig. 2).To release the comb guide, pull down
and move away from the latch (fig. 3).
• Switch the super stubble on by pressing the
‘‘power on’’ button. The LED will illuminate
and the blades will start to move.
• If you are looking for an ultra-close finish,
you can use the trimmer without the comb
guide. This will give you an extremely short
cut.
IMPORTANT: please note when using the
trimmer without the comb guide, the cutting
length will be below 0.4mm. The length setting
shown on the LED screen will no longer be
relevant when the comb guide is detached.
SUPER STUBBLERTM TOP TIPS
• Use on clean, dry hair.
• If possible, when using for the first time, try
and grow your facial hair for a few days
before cutting so you can trim down to a
level that is best for you.
• Set the cutting length as required.
• It is always best to start cutting with a longer
length first, then trim again if the length is
longer than desired.
• Hold the super stubble against the hair, the
teeth of the comb guide should be pointing
upwards and should be flat against the face.
• Move the trimmer upwards through the hair,
a little at a time, against the direction of hair
growth. The floating and contouring head
will follow the curves of your face to ensure
both accuracy and comfort.
• The super stubble 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 neck area, where hair is thicker
and grows in many different directions. This
is completely normal.
• Just like shaving, extra time should be given
when trimming under the neck area, as
again this is where hairs grow in many
different directions.
• Never switch the trimmer off whilst in the
hair.
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
• Regular cleaning will maintain the high
performance of your super stubble.
• Switch off and remove the power cord if
connected.
• Detach the comb guide by gently lifting the
front of the comb guide from both sides and
;44+
flipping it over to the back of the unit and
locking it into position by clicking it securely
onto the fastener on the back of the handle.
• 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
i-stubble with one hand, place your thumb
underneath the blades and push the blades
away from the handle.
• Gently blow away any hair trapped beneath
the blades.
• The blades can be rinsed under the tap.
After rinsing the blades they may need to be
oiled. See oiling instructions below.
• Before re-attaching blade
to the trimmer, ensure
the blades are dry and
moving blade is in the
centre. Please refer to
fig. 4.
• Please do not use any
chemical liquids when
cleaning the trimmer.
• Ensure you clean the blades after each use
and before storing away.
• It is highly recommended to oil the blades
from time to time with the oil provided. This
ensures optimum cutting performance. For
the first use you will need to use the oil
supplied with the product, unscrew the cap
and cut off the very end of the plastic tube
with a pair of scissors to release the oil. To
oil the blades ensure the unit is switched on.
Gently squeeze the oil tube and apply 2
