Charging
Notes
7Before using the appliance for
the first time, the battery must
be fully charged, which takes
about 3 hours. The appliance
can remain on charge for longer
periods without damage or dan-
ger, but this should generally be
avoided. With a fully charged
battery, the appliance works
for around 45 minutes. Future
charging should also take ap-
proximately 3 hours.
7When the battery becomes low,
the speed setting touch controls
Estart to flash.
OPERATION _____________________________

24 ENGLISH
OPERATION _____________________________
Notes
7The appliance remains in stand-
by mode for around 10 sec-
onds before it can be switched
on again with the speed set-
ting touch controls E,
or switched off with the power
switch F.
7While charging, the adapter
may become warm. This is nor-
mal and safe and does not indi-
cate a malfunction of any kind.
7If the appliance has not been
used for a long period, the ca-
pacity of the battery may de-
crease by a certain amount. Full
capacity will be restored after
several charge/discharge cy-
cles.
7We recommend not to recharge
the batteries after each use, es-
pecially if the appliance is not
used for the full 45 minute run-
ning time. Occasionally let the
battery run down completely be-
fore recharging to maintain its
life span. It is good practice to
recharge the appliance occa-
sionally and not daily.
Mains Operation
When the batteries are run down,
it is possible to use the appliance
from the mains via the adapter.
1 Insert the adapter lead into the
socket G.
2 If the battery is too low, allow
5-10 minutes charging before
using the trimmer by mains.
Selecting the trimming

copic combs; small telescopic
