Trimming
Trimming tips
- If you are trimming for the first time, be careful.
Do not move the appliance too fast. Make
smooth and gentle movements
- Since all hairs do not grow in the same
direction, you may want to try different
trimming positions (i.e. upwards, downwards, or
across). Practice is best for optimum results.
- Always make smooth and gentle movements
and be sure the surface of the comb always
stays in contact with your skin.

ranging from 0.5mm to 10mm in steps of 0.5mm.
