TakINg CaRE OF YOUR TRIMMER
OILINg ThE BLaDES

About once a month you should oil the trimmer blades. It is best to do
this over a piece of newspaper. Turn the trimmer on and hold it so that
the blades are pointed downward. Spread one drop of oil across the
blades, wait a few seconds for the oil to disperse then turn the trimmer
off and wipe away the excess oil with a soft cloth.
Be careful not to use too much oil and don’t oil your trimmer more
than necessary, as this could damage the motor. (Never attempt to oil
the motor bearing, as it is permanently lubricated.) Keep oil away from
children.
BLaDE CaRE
Because the trimmer blades are precision-made for a very special use,
they should always be handled with care. Each time you finish using
the trimmer, take a cleaning brush and brush away any loose hair that
has collected in the blades. Be especially careful when changing or
adjusting blades. When you have your trimmer serviced, be sure that
both blades are sharpened or replaced at the same time. To promote
the long life of the appliance, use your trimmer only for the purpose
intended by the manufacturer – to trim your beard and mustache.
DUaL BLaDE TEChNOLOgY
The new dual blade technology features a detachable upper blade for
regular trimming and a lower blade that provides a close, even cut with
the first pass and can also be used as a detailing blade.
gROwINg a BEaRD aND MUSTaChE
There are three key factors that will determine which beard or mustache
style is best for you:
1. The shape and dimensions of your face.
2. The natural growth of your beard/ mustache.
3. The thickness of your beard/mustache. If you are unsure about the
type of beard or mustache that would most suit your face, speak with
a professional hair stylist and ask for an opinion on what style would
be best. Once your beard or mustache has been styled, it is essential
that you maintain its appearance. To do this, use your trimmer to

trim your beard/mustache weekly. For the best trimming results, your
beard should be slightly damp (NOT WET) when using your trimmer.
This will prevent the trimmer from removing more hair than desired.

OUTLININg YOUR BEaRD
1. It is always best to begin with a clean, slightly damp
beard.
2. After you have combed through your beard in the
direction it grows naturally, you will want to outline
the desired shape, beginning under your jawline.
3. Begin defining your beard’s shape under your chin and work upward
on each side of your face toward your ears. Then define the upper
outline of your beard across your cheeks, past your sideburns, and
toward your hairline.
TRIMMINg YOUR BEaRD
1. The trimmer includes a five-position comb for use with the hair trimming
blade (4–14mm). Each position increases the length by 2.5mm.
2. To use the 5-position comb, slide the unit over the trimmer blade and
snap it down into position. At first, until you become familiar with the
adjustments, use the longest trim setting. (You can always go back
and make your beard a little shorter.)
3. Begin trimming your beard using smooth, even strokes. Start with
your sideburns and work downward toward your chin. (Never attempt
to trim against the natural growth of your beard because the hair will
be cut too short.)
4. If you decide you want a closer trim, you can now
adjust the 5-position comb attachment to a
shorter setting (such as 4mm or 6.5mm) and go
over your beard again until you achieve the
desired length.
BLENDINg ThE JawLINE
1. The two jawline attachments will help you to achieve a neat, finished
trim under your chin. To use one of the attachments, press it down
over the trimmer blades until it clicks into position (jawline J1 provides
1mm and jawline J2 provides 2mm).

2. Hold the trimmer in an upright position and begin trimming under
your jawline, using short, even strokes.
3. After your beard is blended, turn off the trimmer and remove the
attachment by gently pulling up on tab.
TO TRIM YOUR MUSTaChE
1. For best results, start with a clean, slightly damp
mustache.
2. Comb through your mustache in the direction it
grows.
3. Place the 5-position comb over the facial hair blade
and snap it into position. It is a good idea to start
with the longest trim setting adjustment. (You can
always go back and cut your mustache more closely
with a shorter setting.)
aLwaYS TRIM YOUR MUSTaChE FROM ThE TOp DOwN
4. After your mustache has been trimmed to the desired
length, remove the 5-position comb and, using the
blades only, define the outline of the bottom of your
mustache.
5. Use the single detailing blade for fine detail trimming
and edging.

hOw TO gET ThE STUBBLE LOOk
This trimmer includes 1 stubble comb. Comb #1 is close to the skin. The
stubble comb fits on the blade just like the jawline combs (note blending
the jawline section for specifics on how combs/jawline combs go on).
ON/OFF SwITCh
To operate, simply slide switch toward blade; to stop push slide away
from blade.
CaRE OF YOUR TRIMMER
REpLaCEMENT (REMOvaL) OF BLaDE SET
Before storing your trimmer, use a cleaning brush to whisk
away any loose hair from the unit and the blades. You should
remove the blade set after a few uses to clean between the
blades. To remove entire blade set from your trimmer, make
sure the trimmer is in the OFF position. Remove the blade set
by placing thumb against the smaller cutter and pushing
forward, releasing the cutter assembly from the trimmer
housing. Replace with new cutting system and reverse the removal proce-
dure, only this time place your thumb on the large cutter and snap into
place.
