Operating Your Trimmer
Charging Your Trimmer

the charger adapter unit into a
power outlet. Switch the power
on and the red light will glow to
indicate that it is charging. Unit has
a 40 minute run-time when fully
charged.
n The batteries cannot be
overcharged, but we recommend
that charging be discontinued if the
trimmer will not be used for a long
period of time. The trimmer will be
fully charged in 14 hours.
n If the trimmer has not been
used for a month or longer, it is
advisable to recharge it for 14-16

discharge them by running the
trimmer until the blades move
slowly. Switch off and recharge

months.

Attachment Combs
These attachment combs are for use
with the Wide 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.

various parts of your face, head and
body (For guide only).

n Place the flat top of the trimmer
comb against the skin.
n Slowly slide the trimmer through
the hair. Repeat from different
directions as necessary.

comb during the trimming process,
switch the unit off, pull off the
comb and brush/rinse off.

Cleaning & Safety
Care For Trimmer
Your Detail Beard Groomer is
designed to give you years of
comfortable use. To ensure that
you get optimal performance
from your trimmer, follow these
maintenance tips:
After each use
n To clean unit wipe with a damp
cloth and dry immediately.
Every six months
n 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
n 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.
n Do not use liquid cleaners on the
cutters or harsh or corrosive
chemicals on the trimmer casing.
Protecting The Environment
The Trimmer contains Nickel-
Cadmium cells and should not be
disposed of in household waste at
the end of its useful life.

your battery packs as they may burst
or release toxic materials. Do not
short circuit as this may cause burns.
Disposal can take place at an appro-
priate collection site.
Spectrum Brands,
Inc. is voluntarily par-
ticipating in an industry
program to collect and
recycle nickel cadmium
(Ni-Cd) at the end of their useful
life, when taken out of service in
the United States. The EPA-certified
RBRC®program provides a con-
venient alternative to placing used
Ni-Cd batteries into the trash or the
municipal waste stream, which may
be illegal in your area. Please call
800-8-BATTERYSM for information
on Ni-Cd battery recycling and dis-
posal bans/restriction in your area.

in this program is part of our com-
mitment to preserving our environ-
ment and conserving our natural
resources.
Trimming The Nape Of Your
Neck
n You will need a hand mirror for this
operation if performing it alone - or
get your partner to help!
n Before you begin, attach the Wide
Trimmer Blade.
n 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.
n 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.
To Remove Hair From
Eyebrows
n Attach fine trimmer attachment.
n Gently guide cutting unit to stray,
unwanted hairs along the eyebrow
line or protruding from the
eyebrow itself.
