ENGLISH6

the local mains voltage before you connect the appliance.
◗Only use the powerplug supplied.
◗Keep the appliance out of the reach of children.
◗Charge, use and store the appliance at a temperature between
15cC and 35cC.
◗This appliance is only designed for trimming the human beard.
Do not use the appliance for any other purpose.
◗Do not use the appliance if the cutting unit is damaged or
broken, as this may cause injury.
◗If the powerplug is damaged, always have it replaced by one of
the original type in order to avoid a hazard.
◗If the appliance is subjected to a major change in temperature,
pressure or humidity, let the appliance acclimatise for 30 minutes
before you use it.
Charging
Charge the appliance fully before using it for the first time or after a
long period of disuse.
Make sure the appliance is switched off before you start charging it.

Preparing for use
Always comb your beard or moustache with a fine comb before you
start trimming.
Using the appliance
Corded trimming
Do not run the appliance from the mains when the battery is fully
charged.
BIf 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.
Turbo function
◗You can use the turbo function for greater suction power and
increased cutting speed.
1Switch the appliance on (fig. 5).
2Press the turbo button (fig. 6).
When you switch the appliance off, the turbo function will
automatically be deactivated.
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 (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
hair length setting (see table) (fig. 7).
◗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 hair
length setting (9).
2Switch the appliance on (fig. 5).
◗During trimming, you can use the turbo function for extra
suction power (fig. 6).

3To 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 attachment always stays in contact with the skin
(fig. 8).
4Switch the appliance off.
Trimming at the unique 'stubble look' setting
◗Use the trimmer with the comb attachment set to hair length
setting 1. This allows you to create a 'stubble look' (fig. 9).
Trimming without comb attachment
Use the trimmer without comb attachment to trim full beards and
single hairs.
1Remove the comb attachment (fig. 10).
BNever pull at the flexible top of the comb attachment. Always pull at
the bottom part.
2Make well-controlled movements and touch the hair lightly with
the trimmer.
Shaping with the precision trimmer

sideburns, to define contours and to cut single hairs.
1Remove the comb attachment (fig. 10).
BNever pull at the flexible top of the comb attachment. Always pull at
the bottom part.
