(NiMh battery) before you use it for the rst time and after a long period
of disuse.

(NiCd battery) or 50 minutes (NiMh battery).
ENGLISH 7

Do not charge the appliance for more than 24 hours.
1 Switch off the appliance.
2 Insert the appliance plug into the appliance and put the adapter in
the wall socket (Fig. 2).
,The charging light goes on to indicate that the appliance is
charging (Fig. 3).
The charging light does not change colour and does not go out when
the appliance is fully charged.
Optimising the lifetime of the rechargeable battery
- After you have charged the appliance for the rst 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 in continuously.
- If you have not used the appliance for a long time, recharge it for 8
hours (NiCd battery) or 12 hours (NiMh battery).
Corded clipping
When the rechargeable battery is empty, you can also run the appliance
from the mains.

charged.
To use the hair clipper from the mains:
1 Switch off the appliance and connect it to the mains.
2 Wait a few seconds and then switch on the appliance.
Using the appliance
Clipping with comb
- The hair length after cutting is indicated in millimetres on the result
indicator (Fig. 4).
ENGLISH8

- The hair length after cutting is only visible when one of the combs is
attached. Use the small comb for a hair length of 3-21mm and use
the large comb for a hair length of 23-41mm.
1 Slide the comb into the guiding grooves of the appliance
(‘click’) (Fig. 5).
Make sure that the arms of the comb have been properly slid into the
grooves on both sides.
2 Turn the length lock to set the comb to the desired hair length
setting (Fig. 6).
- The small comb cuts the hair to a length of 3mm, 6mm, 9mm, 12mm,
15mm, 18mm or 21mm.
- The large comb cuts the hair to a length of 24mm, 27mm, 30mm,
33mm, 36mm, 39mm or 42mm.
3 Switch on the appliance (Fig. 7).
Tips
- We advise you to start clipping at the highest setting of the large
comb and to reduce the hair length in small steps until you reach the
desired hair length.
- If a lot of hair has accumulated in the comb, remove the comb and
blow and/or shake the hair out of it. Removing the comb does not
change the selected hair length setting.
- Write down the hair length settings used to create a certain hairstyle
as a reminder for future clipping sessions.
Clipping without comb
You can use the clipper without comb to contour the neckline and the
area around the ears.
The comb keeps the cutting unit at a certain distance from your head.
This means that, if you use the clipper without the comb, your hair will be
cut off very close to the skin.
1 Pull the comb off the appliance (Fig. 8).
Never pull at the exible top of the comb. Always pull at the bottom
part.
ENGLISH 9

Using the precision trimmer
You can use the precision trimmer for precise contouring and dening.
1 Push the middle part of the cutting unit upwards with your thumb
until it opens and then pull it off the appliance (Fig. 9).
Be careful that the cutting unit does not fall to the oor.
2 Place the lug of the precision trimmer in the slot and push the
unit onto the appliance (‘click’) (Fig. 10).
