PREPPING YOUR
NEW TOOL
CHARGING
The Wingman is so easy to use. But before you start using your new tool, you
must take the time to charge it overnight for 16 hours before its first use. Your
new tool comes with a small amount of charge, but the initial charge will ensure
your new tool will have optimum power performance to give you smooth fast
cutting, every time.
- Before using for the first time, fully charge your new tool continuously for
16 hours.
- Maximum battery capacity will only be reached after 3 charging &
discharging cycles.
The Wingman can be charged whilst standing in the charging/storage stand or
without the stand.
To charge the trimmer whilst in the stand, remove the trimmer and accessories
from the stand. Insert the small plug on the charging adaptor into the hole on
the base of the stand and push firmly into position. Route the cord through the
channel on the base of the stand and secure in place. Plug the charging adaptor
into a suitable mains power socket and switch on. Ensuring your new tool is
switched off, assemble the trimmer into the stand and push the trimmer down
onto the small plug to commence charging.
To charge the trimmer without the stand, simply insert the small plug on the
charging adaptor into the hole on the base of the trimmer.
- The red charging LED indictor light on your new tool will flash when correctly
connected to the mains power. When it is fully charged, the red charging LED
indicator light will remain on.
- A full charge will supply 30 minutes cordless runtime.
- To maintain optimum capacity of the rechargeable battery, it is highly
recommended to fully discharge & then recharge your tool for 16 hours every
3 months.

USING THE FOIL SHAVER
PREPARING THE SKIN
Before using the foil shaver, make sure that the skin is perfectly clean and free
from grease or cream. Exfoliating the skin once or twice a week before shaving
helps to maintain healthy and fresh skin, but it also helps to:
• Prevent hairs from growing under the skin, resulting in in-grown hairs
• Remove dead skin cells and refine the texture of your skin, resulting in a closer
shave
• Prepare your skin to help it absorb skin care products.
We recommend exfoliating ideally the day before, as well as just before shaving.
This will help straighten the hair and make it easier to shave. Avoid exfoliating
just after shaving.
Having a warm shower before use will also help to soften the hair.
1. Attach the foil shaving head.
2. Switch the trimmer on by sliding the On/Off switch upwards so that the
“I”marking is visible.
3. Always keep the shaver perpendicular to the surface to be shaved.
4. Always work with both hands: stretch the skin with one hand and move the
trimmer with the other hand.
5. Slowly move the shaver, exerting light pressure. As a precaution, the operation
of the trimmer may slow down substantially if the foil shaving head is pressed
too hard against the skin.

USING THE 7MM PRECISION BLADE
The 7mm precision blade is for the finishing touches on your stubble, beard,
sideburns & eyebrows.
1. Switch the trimmer on.
2. Gently move the blade through the area of hair you wish to trim.
3. To make it easier to define those finishing touches, flip the trimmer over so
that you can make it even easier working with the blade close to the skin.
4. The trimmer will work most efficiently when cutting through hair at its own
speed.
5. For increased trimming performance, press and hold the turbo button, this is
often necessary for thicker areas of hair.
6. Never switch the appliance off whilst in the hair.
USING THE ROTARY BLADE
The rotary blade has been designed for trimming those hard to reach places like
nose & ear hair. No nicks, cuts or pulling.
1. Attach the rotary trimming blade.
2. Switch the trimmer on.
3. Insert the trimmer into the nose or ear and gently move the trimmer in a
circular motion.
4. Always turn the trimmer on BEFORE you insert into your nostril or ear canal
to avoid painfully snagging hairs.
5. Never insert the trimmer more than 5-6mm into your nose or ears.
6. Never turn the trimmer off whilst in the nose and ears.

TRIMMER CLEANING &
MAINTENANCE
Because the trimmer blades are precision made for a very special use, they
should always be handled with care. To ensure long-lasting performance of your
trimmer, it is important to clean the blades + the comb guides after every use.
The blades are washable for easy cleaning.
To remove the trimming blade, follow the instructions at CHANGING THE
ATTACHMENT HEADS.
1. First, take a small brush and brush away any loose hairs that have collected
in the blades.
2. Rinse the trimming blades under running water. The comb guides can also be
rinsed separately.
3. After cleaning, make sure to shake off excess water and dry the head of the
trimming blades + comb guide before replacing onto the handle.
4. Do not disassemble the blades.
OILING THE BLADES
Periodically, it may be necessary to oil the blades. After cleaning, attach a
trimmer head, switch on and oil the blades using a few drops of the lubricating
oil supplied. Only use the lubricating oil supplied with the appliance as this is
specifically formulated for high speed trimmers and does not evaporate or slow
the blades.

KEEPING YOUR FOIL SHAVER IN TIP TOP SHAPE
To remove the foil shaver head, follow the instructions at CHANGING THE
ATTACHMENT HEADS.
1. To make cleaning easier, the foil of the shaving head is removable.
2. To remove it, press the fasteners on its sides using your thumb and your index
finger and lift it up.
BE CAREFUL NOT TO PUSH ON THE FOILS, THEY ARE
DELICATE AND CAN EASILY BE DAMAGED.
3. Rinse the shaver cutter and foil frame under running water or in a sink. Do not
use hot water. Use only warm or cold water.
4. After wet cleaning, allow the foil frame and cutters to air-dry before closing
the foil frame and shaver head. The cutter can also be cleaned with a
cleaning brush.
5. Replace shaver head back onto the handle until it clicks into place. Wipe the
surface of the main unit with a dry towel. Do not dry the foil area. Let the
shaving head air-dry.
NEVER use thinners, other solvents or any harsh cleaners.
