this charge ignore the electronic indicators as they are in “start-up cycle”.
• The beard trimmer will be fully charged in 4 hours.
• Plug the adaptor into your trimmer and then plug the charging adaptor unit
into a 100-240 volt domestic power outlet. Check to ensure that the trimmer
is OFF. The charging indicator light will turn on to indicate that it is charging.
The light will turn off when charging is complete. When the batteries are low
and require recharging, the appliance indicator light will blink red after use.
• The batteries cannot be overcharged, but it is recommended that charging
be discontinued and the trimmer stored away if it will not be used for an

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
NOTE: The adjustable trimmer comb must be attached to the product in
order to use the hair length selector.
ATTACHING & REMOVING THE ADJUSTABLE COMB
• To attach the adjustable comb, first ensure the adjustable zoom wheel is
set to 1.5. Then slide on the comb so that the comb rails align into the slots
found at the top of the trimmer head.
• To remove the adjustable comb, grasp the comb on either side and pull away
from the trimmer.
BEARD AND STUBBLE LENGTH SETTINGS
• Select the comb length by rotating the zoom wheel upwards to increase the
length and downwards to decrease the length.
• Length settings (1.5mm, 2mm, 2.5mm, 3mm, 4mm, 6mm, 8mm, 10mm,
12mm, 15mm, 18mm)
NOTE: Use the beard trimmer without the adjustable comb for trimming hair
close to the skin. This will trim hair to 1mm, holding the blades perpendicular to
the skin will trim hair to 0.4mm.
TO THIN AND TAPER THE BEARD/MOUSTACHE
• Attach an attachment comb to the trimmer blade.
• Use the zoom wheel to set the trimmer comb to the desired length setting.
• The setting will appear on the length position indicator. If you are trimming
for the first time start with the maximum trimming length setting.
• Turn the trimmer on.
• Place the flat top of the trimmer comb against the skin.
• Slowly slide through the hair. Repeat from different directions as necessary.
• If hair builds up in the trimmer comb during the trimming process, switch the
unit off, pull the comb and brush the hair off.
TRIMMING THE NAPE OF YOUR NECK
NOTE: You will need a hand mirror for this operation if performing it alone.
• Remove the adjustable comb from the trimmer. Use your fingers to lift the
hair at the base of your head up off the neck.
• Your index finger should be covering the roots of the hairs you are lifting to
prevent accidental removal by the beard trimmer.
• Using your other hand, hold the trimmer to the base of your neck with the
cutting unit facing up and move the trimmer up the length of the neck until it
touches your finger covering the hair roots at the base of your head.
• Be sure to move the unit slowly when performing this operation and to keep
the roots at the base of your head out of the way of the trimmer.

7
TO DEFINE THE BEARD/MOUSTACHE LINE
• Hold the trimmer with the trimmer blade facing you.
• Start with the edge of beard/moustache line and gently lower the trimmer
blade onto your skin. Use motions towards the edge of the beard/moustache
line to trim to desired locations in facial area and away from beard in neck area.
BLADE RELEASE
• Ensure the trimmer is switched off.
• Remove the adjustable comb.
• Remove the blades by pushing your thumb upwards under the blades and
move the blade set away from the trimmer body.
• To reattach the blades, align the back of the blades with the back housing at
the top of the trimmer and push down until the blade set clicks into place.
TIPS FOR BEST RESULTS
• Beard, moustache and sideburn hairs should be dry.
• Avoid using lotions before use.
• Comb your hair in the direction that it grows.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
• To ensure long lasting performance of the trimmer, clean the blades and unit
after each use.
• Ensure the appliance is switched off and unplugged from the mains.
• Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners on the unit or blades.
• This product has washable blades. Ensure the blades are detached from the
trimmer before washing the blades.
• Wash the blades under a running tap to remove any hair clippings.
• After rinsing under a tap ensure the blades are dry.
• Do not rinse while the product is connected to the mains.
• Please note the main body of the trimmer is not washable and should be kept
away from water.
• After each use, it is recommended to clean hair from blades either by using
the cleaning brush or by rinsing the blades under running water.
• When rinsing the blades it is necessary to lubricate them once dry. With the
unit turned off apply 3 drops of oil to the moving blade facing up, one drop on
each end and one in the middle, then switch the unit on for a few seconds to
distribute the oil, then turn the unit off and wipe off excess oil.
NOTE: Do not disassemble the blades.
