POWER SUPPLY ____________________________________
Operation with
rechargeable batteries
When using the built-in rechargeable
nickel metal hydride batteries, use the
mains adapter supplied as a charger.
1 Plug the mains adapter into the F
socket, and plug the mains adapter
into the mains socket.
– The indicator G 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
7 Completely charge up the batteries
(24 hours) before you first use them
or if you have not used them for a
long time.
7 After the batteries are first charged,
the charging time is approx.
12 hours when the appliance is
switched off. If you switch on the
appliance while it is charging, charg-
ing will stop.
7 The ambient temperature should be
between 5 °C and 40 °C.
7 When fully charged, the appliance
works for around 45 minutes. It is
not advisable to charge the batter-
ies after every use, especially if you
do not use the appliance for the full
45 minutes. Only charge the batter-
ies when they are completely dis-
charged. This increases their life. Do
not charge them every day.
7 The green status displays show the
capacity of the respective recharge-
able batteries. If, for example, a
capacity of only 40 % is reached,
the green displays 20 and 40 light
up. If the rechargeable batteries are
completely empty the red charge
indicator flashes.

OPERATION ________________________________________
Special features
The appliance has a ceramic/
stainless steel ( A and B) cutting
head.
It guarantees exceedingly precise trim-
ming and is maintenance-free.
The hair trimmer is suitable for use on
dry and wet hair.
Trimming hair
1 Put on comb 1 to 7 for the cut-
ting grade you need (see the table
on page 22).
2 To do this, latch the holders of the
comb attachment into the pins C
on the right and left side of the
appliance. First, push the left holder
over the left pin, then the right
holder over the right pin. Ensure
that the holder you fixed first does
not spring off the pin while you are
doing this.
3 Place a towel around the neck and
shoulder of the person whose hair
you are trimming. Make sure the
person is seated so that their head
is roughly at your eye level. Before
trimming, comb the hair so that it
falls naturally and you can see the
direction in which it grows.
4 Switch on the appliance using the
switch I and start trimming.
5 Turn off the appliance using the I
switch when you have finished trim-
ming.
6 Take off the comb.

OPERATION ________________________________________
Useful tips
7 Hold the appliance with a relaxed
and comfortable grip.
7 Always cut against the natural direc-
tion of the hair.
7 As you cut, take a break at regular
intervals. You can always make a
correction, but not once the hair has
been cut.
7 Only cut a small amount the first
time you use the trimmer. This is the
only way to get used to the variable
grades.
7 Do not force the comb through the
hair. Let it guide you.
7 Keep combing the hair. Only look
for hair which is too long and comb
out clippings.
Comb attachment grades
Note
7 The stated trim lengths describe the
remaining hair length. All the lengths
here are approximate.
7 If you use the trimmer without a
comb, the cutting length is 1.5 mm.
Note
7 Without 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 con-
tact with water.

CLEANING AND CARE ____________________________
Cleaning and care

3 Clean the housing, the cutting head

Note
7 The cutting head and the appliance

oil provided).
