AC operation
You can use the clipper while charging, even if the battery
capacity is low.
If the clipper does not work, continue charging it for approx. 1
minute.
Using
Using comb attachments
1. Slide the power switch on the main body to
the “0” position to turn off the clipper.
2. Make sure there is no damage to the blade.
3. Mount the attachment and adjust the dial.
See pages 4 and 5.•
4. Slide the power switch on the
main body to the “1” position to
turn on the clipper.
After adjusting the trimming length,
make sure the attachment is fixed with
the switch in the “1” position. When
the attachment is mounted correctly,
the dial will not turn with the switch set
to “1”.
5. Cut hair to the correct height by
moving the clipper back against the
flow of the hair.
Do not use the clipper in an inverted position.
This can cut hair too deeply.
Trimming without attachment combs
Trimming your hair without an attachment will trim hair length to
approx. 0.5 mm.
Ź
1. Cut hair by placing the clipper head
directly on the scalp.
Installing the attachment comb

The dial will turn past the indicator “6” even when the comb
attachment [A] is being used. The clipper will not cut well above
6 mm, so do not try to cut more than 6 mm with the comb
attachment [A] mounted.
Actual hair length will be a little longer than the height you set.

Cleaning
Cleaning with brush
1. Disconnect the power cord from the
clipper.
Be sure to set the switch to “0” before you
remove the blade.
2. Remove the comb attachment.
3. Hold the main body, place your thumb
against the blades and then push
them away from the main body.
•
4. Brush off any hair trimmings from the
main body and from around the blade.
5. Brush any hair trimmings out from
between the stationary blade and the
moving blade while pressing down
the cleaning lever to raise the moving
blade.
Cleaning in water
The mark on the left means suitable for cleaning under
an open water tap.
Warning
Disconnect the power cord from the clipper before cleaning
it in water to prevent electric shock.
1. Disconnect the power cord from the
clipper.
2. Remove the blade.
3. Rinse off any hair trimmings that are
sticking to the blades with running
water.
4. Rinse out any hair trimmings that are
inside the clipper with running water.
5. Gently shake the clipper 4 or 5 times and then wipe off
any water drops from the clipper and the blade.
6. Place the clipper on a towel with the power switch on
the main body facing downwards to let it dry fully.
Lubrication
Apply the oil to the clipper before and
after each use.
Apply a drop of the oil to the points
indicated by the arrows.
Remounting the blade
Fit the mounting hook into
the blade mounting on the
clipper and then push in until
you hear a click.
Blade life
Blade life will vary according to the frequency and length of use. It
is expected to be about 2 years when using the clipper twice a
month for 20 minutes each time. If cutting efficiency is reduced
despite proper maintenance, change the blades.
Battery life
Battery life will vary according to the frequency and length of use.
If the batteries are charged 3 times a month, the service life will be
approximately 3 years.
It is recommended that the clipper be recharged at least every 6
months even when not in regular use because the charge will
drain from the battery and its service life may be shortened.
Disposal of the clipper battery
Remove the built-in rechargeable battery before disposing of the
clipper. Please make sure that the battery is disposed of at an
officially designated location if there is one. Do not dismantle or
replace the battery so that you can use the clipper again. This
could cause fire or an electric shock. Replace it at an authorized
service center.
Disconnect the power cord from the clipper when removing the
battery.
Discharge the battery completely before removing it.
Be careful not to short the + and – terminals of the battery after
removing it.
