Attachment Combs
These attachment combs are for use with
the 38mm trimmer blade only. To attach,
gently slide the comb over the trimmer
blade. An arrow on the side of the comb
indicates the length which the hair will
be cut.
Here's what the length settings mean in
inches:
Each comb attachment is marked
accordingly on its middle surface.
When first using, you may want to begin
with the longest attachment comb to
avoid trimming hair too short. Cut the hair
gradually using short strokes only to work
gradually over the entire head. Always
take off a little hair at a time, you can
always trim off additional hair later. As
you work, comb the hair frequently back
into the style that you are cutting.
Best Technique
Here are a few tips for trimming the
various parts of your face, head and
body (For guide only).
To Thin & Taper The Beard &
Mustache
■Before you begin, comb your hair in
the direction in which it grows so that
the hairs are at their maximum height
and facing the same direction.
■Attach an attachment comb to the
38mm Trimmer Blade.
■Place the flat top of the trimmer comb
against the skin.
■Slowly slide the trimmer 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 off the comb and
brush/rinse off.
To Define The Beard &
Mustache Line
■Hold trimmer with 20mm Trimmer
Blade facing you.
■Start with edge of beard/moustache
line and gently lower the Trimmer
Blade onto your skin. Use motions
towards edge of beard/moustache
line to trim to desired locations in
facial area and away from beard in
neck area.
To Cut Short Hair Styles
■Hairs should be dry and without any
waxes or lotions before using trimmer.
■Comb your hair in the direction in
which it grows so that the hairs are at
their maximum height and facing the
same direction.
■Place the flat top of the trimmer comb
against the skin.
■Slowly slide the trimmer 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 off the comb and
brush/rinse off.
To Draw Trim Lines Into Head
Hair
■Attach the 38mm Trimmer Blade.
■With blade facing the area where you
would like to start your trim line, gently
lower onto head.
■Move the trimmer gently along your
head to create the style you require.
!For more precise designs, attach the
20mm trimmer blade.
Trimming Edge Of Sideburns
■Using the 20mm trimmer blade hold
the trimmer with blade facing you.
■Start with edge of sideburn, and with
the cutting blades resting lightly
against your skin, use motions
towards edge of side burn line to trim
to desired locations in facial area.
Trimming The Nape Of Your
Neck
■You will need a hand mirror for this
operation if performing it alone - or
get your partner to help!
■Before you begin, attach the 38mm
T-Trimmer Blade.
■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 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 the unit 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 hair roots at the base
of your head out of the way of the
trimmer.
How to Use Cleaning & Safety
Care For Trimmer
Your Professional Beard & Goatee
Groomer is designed to give you years
of comfortable use. To ensure that you
get optimal performance from your trim-
mer, follow these maintenance tips:
After each use
■To clean unit wipe with a damp cloth
and dry immediately.
Every six months
■At regular intervals the Blade Set
should be removed and cleaned. To
remove the Blade set, remove the
two screws holding the large blade to
the trimmer body. The Blade Set will
separate from the body and can be
cleaned as necessary. Replace the
Blade Set and place a few drops of
trimmer or sewing machine oil onto
the blades.
Cleaning Cautions
■Use only trimmer or sewing machine
oil as other oils will dry out and
become sticky, resulting in poor
blade action. Do not use too much
oil as it may spray.
■Do not use liquid cleaners on the
cutters or harsh or corrosive
chemicals on the trimmer casing.
