INTEND USE
The removal of the head lice and their eggs (nits) from hair.
HOW IT WORKS
• It has been specially designed to generate an electric charge of 160-250V , which immediately
zaps lice when contact, but imperceptible to humans and completely safe to use.
• The electric lice comb is powered by two AAA batteries 1.5 V which generates 80-250V.
• The integrated circuit in the comb generates a periodic oscillating square wave when lice
contact with teeth of the comb.
• The electrical discharge is triggered automatically, and lice are destroyed on the spot.
• The low current generated by the battery of 1.5 V ensures the complete safety of electric
comb for use on people.
• Totally painless and safe for hair and scalp.
• Low energy consumption.
• Efcient and easy to use, especially ideal for use on young children and those with sensitive scalp.
• Since there is no active substance involved in the use of comb, it may be used several times
and as often as necessary.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR EFFECTIVE USE
• You must use the comb only on dry hair.
• Ensure that the electric comb does not get humid or wet during use.
• We recommend that you use a repellent treatment (cream, shampoo, etc..) after using the
electric comb, in order to avoid a new outbreak.
PRECAUTIONS BEFORE USE
For optimal use of electric lice comb is recommended to follow these instructions and observe
the following safety points:
• The use of electric lice comb is not recommended in the following cases:
• Do not use on people with pacemakers.
• Do not use on people who have epilepsy or heart disease.
• Do not use on damp or wet hair.
• Do not leave the comb in reach of children.
• Do not use the comb on another family member without rst disinfecting it.
• Disinfect the electric comb and its teeth after each use, using a cloth dampened in a solution
of 70% alcohol (remove the battery during cleaning of the electronic comb). Wait until it is
completely dry before using it again.
• Do not use the comb if the teeth are deformed, as this may cause a short circuit in the comb.
• Use electric comb only for the purpose for which it was designed, as described in the instruc-

INTRODUCTION
Head lice are tiny, wingless insects. When fully grown, they’re similar in size to a sesame seed.
Because they can’t survive the cold, they cling to our hair, keeping close to the warmth of our
heads.
Head lice are harmless – though they can cause your children to get an itchy scalp. Head lice
have been making a nuisance of themselves for thousands of years. Fortunately, getting rid of
them nowadays need only take a ten minutes treatment time!
Gima electric lice comb is one viable option to consider in the quest of eradicating head lice so
they will stop spreading through your family member’s hair and scalp. It is certainly no secret
that an infestation of lice can make life difcult for everyone in the household, but thanks to
modern technology -- an electric lice comb, the process of getting rid of these pests can be
just a lot easier.
SPECIAL FEATURES
Gima lice comb uniquely can not only dispel but also efciently kill head lice and nits by quickly,
increasing electrical voltage of 160~250 Volts, which is harmless to human.
Comb activity is indicated by an audible signal, which provides different sounds: one sound
per three seconds indicates the functional unit (80-140V); the short, sharp beep three times in a
second indicates the contact with the intruder (160-250V).
