THE BEARD TRIM / TOOL TIPS
PREPPING YOUR
NEW TOOL
CHARGING
The Beard Trim 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 for16 hours.
- Maximum battery capacity will only be reached after 3 charging & discharging
cycles (one cycle of 16 hours followed by two cycles of 8 hours).
- Ensure your new tool is switched off.
- Insert the small plug on the charging adaptor into the socket on the bottom of your
new tool.
- Plug the charging adaptor into a suitable mains power socket and switch on.
- The red charging LED indictor light on your new tool will light up 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 60 minutes cordless runtime.
- Subsequent recharges will only require 8 hours charging time.
- 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.
CORDED USE
To use the trimmer connected to mains power:
- Insert the small plug on the charging adaptor into the socket on the bottom of your
new tool.
- Plug the charging adaptor into a suitable mains power socket and switch on.
- Switch the trimmer on – NOTE – if the battery is weak and low on battery charge,
wait approx. 1min before switching the trimmer on.

HOW TO USE
THE BEARD TRIM
BEFORE USING
- Always inspect the trimmer blades for noticeable signs of damage.
- Always inspect the trimmer blades before use to ensure they are free from
hair, debris etc.
- Ensure the trimmer is sufficiently charged before use.
- For best performance use on clean, dry hair that has been combed until
tangle-free
- If the foil is cracked, broken or loose, do not use it again and replace with a
new foil. Using a foil in a faulty condition can cause injury.
- Do not shave on open wounds, cuts, burns, warts, moles or on sunburned
skin.

THE BEARD TRIM / TOOL TIPS
SELECTING A CUTTING LENGTH
Your Beard Trim comes with 1 comb guide with 39 positions (1mm to 20mm) for crafting
a short stubble look, or keeping your beard in top shape and an integrated grooved
wheel control that adjusts the trimming settings in 0.5mm steps. Simply turn the wheel
up and down to your desired cutting length setting.
GOOD TO NOTE: Always put the comb guide on BEFORE turning the trimmer on, and turn
the trimmer off before removing it.
To remove the cutting guide, first adjust the cutting length to
maximum (20 mm). With the trimmer switched off, remove
one side and then the other side of the comb guide, to release
the guide (Fig. 1).
To replace the cutting guide, first adjust the cutting length to
minimum (1 mm). With the trimmer switched off, clip on one
side and then the other side of the comb guide (Fig. 2).
Use the grooved wheel to select the desired cutting
length.

TRIMMING TIPS
Hit up www.vsformen.com.au for more grooming tips & inspiration.
USING THE TRIMMING BLADE + COMB GUIDE
1. Switch the trimmer on by sliding the On/Off switch upwards so that the “I”
marking is visible.
2. Select your desired cutting length. To adjust the cutting length of your
trimmer, simply turn the wheel up and down (clockwise and anti-clockwise)
to your desired cutting length setting.
3. When trimming, hold the comb guide flat against the skin. For the most
precise, consistent trim, the tips of the teeth and the little corners
protruding from the comb should always be in contact with the skin.
If not, the precision of the cut may change. (Fig. 3-4).
4. It is suggested to trim the hair in the direction of hair growth, as
trimming against the direction of growth could cause a rash or
irritation.
5. Pull the skin firmly with one hand during the trimming process to
ensure the closest trim possible.
6. Move the trimmer slowly and carefully, so as not to cut any hair you do
not intend to trim.
7. Trim, shape and define your facial hair as needed.

HAIR CAPTURE SYSTEM
Your Beard Trim comes with an easy to clean, hair collector system that
captures hair while you trim, for no-mess trimming.
Simply trim as you normally would and the hair collector will capture
trimmed hairs.
To empty the hair capture system, simply remove the collector by pulling
the upper part down (Fig. 5), and empty trimmed hairs into a bin.
To replace the collector, place the lower part of the Collector in the
appropriate slot and finalise by clipping the upper part into place (Fig. 6).

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. Switch the trimmer on by sliding the On/Off switch upwards so that the “I”
marking is visible.
2. Always keep the shaver perpendicular to the surface to be shaved.
3. Always work with both hands: stretch the skin with one hand and move the
trimmer with the other hand.
4. 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.

THE BEARD TRIM / TOOL TIPS
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 guide after every use.
The blades are washable for easy cleaning.
To remove the trimming blade, make sure that the trimmer is switched off
and the cutting comb guide is removed. Hold the trimmer with the blades
pointing up and remove them by pressing their points (Fig. 7).
To clean the blades:
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 guide 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.
OILING THE BLADES EVERY NOW & THEN
The blades of your trimmer have a reservoir pad for releasing the
necessary amount of oil for proper operation, time after time. Nevertheless,
it is recommended that the reservoir pad be refilled occasionally when you
notice cutting performance is not as high.
Squeeze a few drops of oil onto the reservoir pad (Fig. 8).
Then replace the blades on the trimmer.

KEEPING YOUR FOIL SHAVER IN TIP TOP SHAPE
1. To make cleaning easier, the foil of the shaving head is removable.
2. To remove it, press the fasteners on its sides (Fig. 9) 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.
6. Once the foil shaver is dried, carefully place the protective cap on.
