Using the appliance
Absorbing cut hairs
The suction system is activated automatically as soon as you switch
on the appliance. It absorbs cut hairs during every kind of use, i.e.
trimming with and without comb attachment and contouring. The exible
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 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’).
Note:To 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.
