ENGLISH6

Do not charge the appliance for more than 24 hours.
1Make sure the appliance is switched off while charging.
2Insert the appliance plug into the appliance (fig. 1).
3Insert the adapter into the wall socket.
The pilot light will go on to indicate that the appliance is charging.
Optimising the lifetime of the battery
- After the appliance has been charged for the first time, do not
recharge it between clipping sessions. Continue using it and
recharge it only when the battery is (almost) empty.
- Discharge the battery completely twice a year by letting the motor
run until it stops.
- Do not keep the appliance plugged into a wall socket all the time.
- If the appliance has not been used for a long period of time, it must
be recharged for 12 hours.
Corded clipping
Do not run the appliance from the mains when the battery is fully
charged.
To use the hair clipper when it is connected to the mains:
1Switch the hair clipper 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.
Using the appliance
Also see the interactive instruction CD-ROM.
Clipping with comb attachment
Select the small or large comb attachment, depending on the desired
hair length.
ENGLISH 7

Hair length settings
◗The hair length settings are indicated in millimetres on the arms
of the comb attachment.The settings correspond to the
remaining hair length after cutting (fig. 2).
- The small comb cuts hair to a length of 3 mm, 6 mm, 9 mm,
12 mm, 15 mm, 18 mm or 21 mm.
- The large comb cuts the hair to a length of 23 mm, 26 mm, 29 mm,
32 mm, 35 mm, 38 mm or 41 mm.
1Slide the arms of the comb attachment into the guiding grooves
of the appliance until you hear a click (fig. 3).
Make sure that the arms of the comb attachment have been properly
slid into the grooves on both sides.
2Set the comb to the desired hair length by turning the hair length
adjustment ring (Precision Zoom Lock`) to the right or to the
left until the comb has been set to the desired hair length (fig. 4).
◗We advise you to start clipping at the highest setting (large
comb) and to reduce the hair length setting in small steps until
you reach the desired hair length.
3Switch the appliance on.
◗Choose the appropriate hair cutting method from the booklet
'Modelling and Styling' or consult the interactive instruction
CD-ROM.
Tip: If a lot of hair has accumulated in the comb, remove the comb
attachment and blow and/or shake the hair from the comb. Removing
the comb does not change the hair length setting.
Tip:Write down the hair length settings selected to create a certain
hairstyle as a reminder for future clipping sessions.
Clipping without comb attachment
You can use the clipper without comb attachment to contour the
neckline and the area around the ears.You can also find instructions and
tips on the instruction CD-ROM.

1Remove the comb attachment by pulling it off the appliance
(fig. 5).
Never pull at the flexible top of the comb attachment. Always pull at
the bottom part.
The comb attachment keeps the cutting unit at a certain distance
from your head.This means that, if you use the clipper without the
comb attachment, your hair will be cut off very close to the skin.

acetone to clean the appliance.
