◗Check if the voltage indicated on the
powerplug corresponds to the local mains
voltage before you connect the appliance.
◗Only use the powerplug supplied to charge
the appliance. Do not cut off the powerplug
to replace it with another plug, as this will
cause a hazardous situation.
◗If the powerplug is damaged, always have it
replaced by one of the original type in order
to avoid a hazard.
◗Make sure the appliance, the charging stand
and the powerplug do not get wet.
◗Charge, use and store the appliance at a
temperature between 15cC and 35cC.
◗This appliance is only intended for trimming
and grooming the human beard, moustache,
sideburns, nose hair, ear hair and eyebrows.
◗Keep the appliance out of the reach of
children.
◗Do not use the appliance when one of the
attachments is damaged or broken, as this
may cause injury.
◗Do not place the beard trimmer comb or the
hair clipper comb on the precision
attachment.
Charging.
Charge the appliance fully before you start using it
for the first time or after a long period of disuse.
It will take approx. 10 hours to fully charge the
battery. A fully charged appliance has a cordless
operating time of up to 35 minutes. When you
charge the appliance for 3 hours, you can use it for
15 minutes.
The appliance does not run from the mains.
Make sure the appliance is switched off during
charging!
You can charge the appliance in 2 different ways:
1In the charging stand:
◗Insert the appliance plug into the socket in the
bottom of the stand (fig. 1).
◗Place the appliance on the pin of the stand
(fig. 2).
2Outside the charging stand:
◗Insert the appliance plug directly into the
appliance (fig. 3).
◗In both situations the charging light on the
powerplug indicates that the appliance is
charging (fig. 4).
Optimising the lifetime of the rechargeable
battery
◗Do not leave the appliance plugged into the
wall socket for more than 24 hours.
◗Discharge the battery completely twice a year
by letting the motor run until it stops. Then
fully recharge the battery.
Preparing for use.
◗Always comb the hair with the barber's comb
in the direction of growth before you start
trimming.
◗Make sure that the hair is dry and clean.
Trimming.
Beard trimming with comb
1Put the beard trimmer comb on the trimming
attachment and push it home until you hear a
click (fig. 5).
2Press the hair length selector and slide it to
the desired setting. See table I (fig. 6).
The setting selected will appear in the window to
the left of the hair length selector.
BWhen you are trimming for the first time, start at
the maximum trimming length setting (9) to
familiarise yourself with the appliance.
BUsing setting 1 with the comb installed will result
in a 'stubble look'.
3To trim in the most effective way, move the
appliance against the direction of hair growth
(fig. 7).
Do not move the appliance too fast. Make smooth
and gentle movements and make sure the surface
of the comb always stays in contact with the skin.
◗Regularly remove the comb to blow and/or
shake out hair that has accumulated.
NB: You have to adjust the trimming length again
after you have removed the comb!
Beard trimming without comb
1Remove the comb by pressing and sliding the
hair length selector upwards (fig. 8).
Never pull at the flexible top of the comb. Always
pull at the bottom part.
2Make well-controlled movements and touch
your beard only slightly with the trimming
attachment.
Cutting without the comb will result in a very short
stubble beard.

and sliding the hair length selector upwards
(fig. 8).
2Detach the trimming attachment by pushing
the release button (fig. 9).

the attachment into one of your nostrils
(fig. 13).
Do not insert the tip more than 0.5 cm into your
nostril.
3Slowly move the tip in and out while turning it
round at the same time to remove unwanted
hair.
To reduce the tickling effect, make sure that the
side of the tip is firmly pressed against the skin.

free from wax.
2Switch the appliance on and move the tip
softly round the ear to remove hairs sticking
out beyond the rim of the ear (fig. 14).
3Carefully insert the tip into the outer ear
channel (fig. 15).
Do not insert the tip more than 0.5 cm into the
ear channel as this could damage the eardrum.

Do not use the appliance to define or trim the
entire eyebrow.

close to your eyes!

edge of the eyebrow.

all parts of his head are clearly visible and
within easy reach.

from different directions to achieve an even
result (fig. 20).

direction of hair growth (fig. 21).
