Body trimming
It is recommended to trim your body hair when it is
dry because wet hair tends to stick to the body.
Tip: Take your time when you rst start to trim sensitive
areas. You have to acquire practice with the appliance.
Your skin also needs some time to adjust to the
procedure.
Tip: When you trim sensitive areas, we advise you
not to use the trimmer without the trimming comb.

hair on all parts of the body below the neckline. Do
not use the body shaver to shave or trim facial or
scalp hair.
Note: Before you use the body shaver, always check it

hairs stand upright and minimise the chance of skin
irritation.
Tip: If the hairs are longer than 10mm, trim them rst
to a length of 3mm to make shaving easier.

Hair clipping
Preparing for hair clipping
1 Make sure that the head of the person whose
hair you intend to cut is at the same level as
your chest.This ensures that all parts of the
head are clearly visible and within easy reach.
2 Comb the hair in the growth direction.

clockwise to x it (2).

grooves on both sides of the handle.

comb to the desired hair length setting (2).
You can choose any setting between 3 and 20mm in

3 - 20
ENGLISH 9

Note: Since hair grows in different directions, you need
to move the appliance in different directions as well
(upward, downward or across).
6 Always make sure that the at part of the
comb is in full contact with the scalp to obtain
an even result.
Make overlapping passes over the head to ensure
that you cut all the hair that needs to be cut.
Note: When you trim for the rst time, start at the
highest setting (20mm) to familiarise yourself with the
appliance.
Hair clipping without hair clipping comb
You can use the trimmer without comb to clip hair
very close to the skin (to a length of 1mm) or to
create contours.
Caution: Be careful when you clip without the
comb because the trimmer removes every hair it
comes in contact with.
1 Press the setting selector (1) and slide the
comb upwards (2).Then pull the comb off the
appliance (3).
2 Before you start to contour the hairline
around the ears, comb the hair ends over
the ears.
