Operation with
rechargeable batteries
When using the built-in recharge-
able nickel metal hydride batteries,
use the mains adapter supplied
as a charger.
1Plug the mains adapter into
the socket,
and plug the mains adapter into
the mains socket.
– The indicator lights up red.
– The green
status displays show how the
charging is progressing. They
flash until the respective
capacity has been reached
(20, 40, 60, 80 and 100 %)
and then remain lit.
– Once charging is complete, all
status displays are lit in green.
Notes
7Completely charge up the batter-
ies (24 hours) before you first use
them or if you have not used
them for a long time.

charged, the charging time is
approx. 12 hours when the

be between 5 °C and 40 °C.
7When fully charged, the
appliance works for around
45 minutes. It is not advisable to
charge the batteries after every
use, especially if you do not use
the appliance for the full 45 min-
utes. Only charge the batteries
when they are completely dis-
charged. This increases their life.
Do not charge them every day.
7The green status displays show
the capacity of the respective
rechargeable batteries. If, for
example, a capacity of only 40 %
is reached, the green displays 20
and 40 light up. If the recharge-

urally and you can see the direc-
tion in which it grows.
4Switch on the appliance using
the switch and start trimming.
5Turn off the appliance using the
switch when you have finished
trimming.

Useful tips
7Hold the appliance with a
relaxed and comfortable grip.
7Always cut against the natural
direction of the hair.
7As you cut, take a break at regu-
lar intervals. You can always
make a correction, but not once
the hair has been cut.
7Only cut a small amount the first
time you use the trimmer. This is
the only way to get used to the
variable grades.
7Do not force the comb through
the hair. Let it guide you.
7Keep combing the hair. Only look
for hair which is too long and
comb out clippings.
Comb attachment grades
Note
7The stated trim lengths describe

Note
7Without the mains adapter, the
charged appliance can be used
for wet hair in the bathroom.
Never immerse the appliance in
water and never let the charging
station, mains adapter and cable
come into contact with water.
