TRIMMER ATTACHMENTS
CHANGING THE MAIN AND DETAIL BLADES
Your trimmer is supplied with the main blade already fitted. It is easier to
remove and refit the main blade with the vacuum chamber removed.
• Switch your trimmer off.
• Hold the trimmer in one hand.
• Push the top of the blade away from the trimmer body using your thumb.
(Fig A)
• Use enough force to free the blade from
the trimmer body. Once free, lift it off.
• Fit the desired blade by engaging the
tab on the back of the blade into the
rear of your trimmer. Press the front of
the blade down until it clicks.
• Replace the vacuum chamber.
FITTING/REMOVING THE ADJUSTABLE BEARD COMB
• Switch your trimmer off.
• Depress the comb lock button then slide the adjustable comb into the guides
on the rear of your trimmer. Slide the comb all the way down then release the
button.
• To adjust the length of the beard comb, depress the comb lock button then
slide the comb to the desired length.
• The Adjustable Beard Comb attachment has 8 Length settings: 2-16mm (in
increments of 2mm). Begin with a higher numbered setting. Adjust cutting
length as desired once you are familiar with using the trimmer, it is better to
select a longer hair length setting in order not to trim too much hair.

TIPS FOR BEST RESULTS
• Beard, moustache and sideburn hairs should be dry.
• Avoid using lotions before using your trimmer.
• Remove the Adjustable Beard Comb attachment if you are: defining hairline
edges such as sideburns, trimming the nape of your neck, trimming your
beard line on front of neck.
• Before trimming beards, comb your hair in the direction that it grows so that
the hairs are at their maximum height and facing in the same direction.
• Since all hairs do not grow in the same direction, you may want to try
different trimming methods (i.e. upwards, downwards or across). Practice is
best for optimum results.
NOTE: Use slow light pressure. Too much pressure may trim off more hair
than desired.
CARING FOR YOUR TRIMMER
Your beard trimmer is fitted with high quality blades. To ensure long lasting
performance, clean the blades and trimmer regularly.
AFTER EACH USE
• Ensure your trimmer is switched off and
disconnected from the charger before cleaning.
• Remove the blade. Brush the accumulated hair
from the blade.
• Wipe your trimmer body with a damp cloth and
dry immediately. Do not submerge your trimmer
in water.
• Refit the blade.
• Press the two vacuum chamber release buttons
and remove the vacuum chamber (Fig B).
• Empty the vacuum chamber (Fig C) and rinse
it under a running tap. The chamber must be
completely dry before returning it to the trimmer.
WASHABLE HEADS
• The trimming heads are washable for ease of
cleaning. Always remove the trimming head from
your trimmer before washing.
• Rinse the trimming heads under a running tap to
remove any hair clippings (Fig D).
• Once dry, refit the trimming head.
