Using the appliance
Corded trimming
Do not run the appliance from the mains when the battery is fully
charged.
If the battery is low, you can also use the appliance from the mains:
1Switch the trimmer off, connect it to the mains and wait a few
seconds before switching it on.
2If the battery is completely empty, wait a few minutes before
switching the appliance on.
Absorbing cut hairs
The suction system is activated automatically as soon as you switch the
appliance on. It absorbs cut hairs during every kind of use, i.e. trimming
with and without comb attachment and contouring.The flexible hair
guide follows the contours of the face and directs cut hairs towards the
nozzle of the vacuum mechanism.
We advise you to empty the hair-collection chamber after each
trimming session.When trimming long, dense beards it may also be
ENGLISH8

necessary to empty the hair-collection chamber during the trimming
session in order to maintain optimal suction performance (also see
chapter 'Cleaning', section 'Hair-collection chamber').
BTo ensure optimal functioning of the vacuum system, do not cut off
more than approx. 7mm of your overall beard length at a time. If you
want to cut your beard shorter, repeat the process one or more times.
Trimming with comb attachment
1Turn the adjustment ring (Precision Zoom Lock`) to the desired
trimming length setting (see table) (fig. 3).
◗The setting will appear in the window below the adjustment ring
(Precision Zoom Lock`).
If you are trimming for the first time, start with the maximum
trimming length setting (9).
2To trim in the most effective way, move the trimmer against the
direction of hair growth. Do not move the trimmer too fast.
Make smooth and gentle movements and make sure the surface
of the comb always stays in contact with the skin (fig. 4).
