INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Trimming your beard
For even cutting, allow your trimmer to cut its way through the beard hair. Do not force it
through quickly. If you are cutting for the rst time, start with the maximum comb length
attachment.
Regularly check the level of collected hair in the vacuum chamber. When full, switch o
your trimmer and remove the vacuum chamber. Empty the hair clippings. Ret the
vacuum chamber before continuing use.
Thinning or tapering the beard or moustache
1. Set the adjustable comb to the desired length.
2. Place the at part of the comb against the skin. Slowly slide the comb through the
hair.
3. Repeat from dierent directions as necessary.
4. If hair builds up in the trimmer comb during the trimming process, switch the unit
o, remove the comb and brush o the hair.
Deng the line of the beard or moustache
1. Remove the main blade and replace it with the detail blade.
2. Start trimming at the edges of your beard/moustache line.
3. Move your trimmer carefully towards the line until the desired shape is achieved.
Trimming your sideburns
1. Fit the wide trimming head, or the detail trimming head as requried.
2. Hold your trimmer with blade facing you.
3. Start with edge of your sideburns. With the trimmer blade resting lightly against
your skin, move your trimmer carefully towards your sideburn until the desired

1. Remove the adjustable comb.
2. Use the ngers of one hand to lift the hair at the base of your head up o your neck.
3. Your index nger should be covering the roots of the hairs you are lifting to prevent
them from being accidentally cut.

trimmer up the neck until it touches your index nger which is protecting the hair
roots.

way of the trimmer.
