switched off, Then remove the battery compartment cover at the back
of the appliance by pulling straight down (Fig.1). Insert the AAA lithium
battery, negative end up.
- If the appliance remains unused for a while or if the battery has run down,
remove from the appliance. This will increase the life of the trimmer.
- After inserting the battery, replace the battery compartment cover.
- Always purchase the correct size and grade of battery most suitable
for intended use.
- Clean the battery contacts and also those of the appliance prior to battery
installation.
- Ensure the battery is installed correctly with regard to polarity (+ and -).
- Exhausted batteries are to be removed from the appliance and safely
disposed of.
- When the battery has run down, it should be disposed of at a recycling centre
to safeguard the environment. If the battery leaks avoid touching and dispose
of at a recycling centre.
- Non-rechargeable batteries are not to be recharged.
- Do not mix old and new batteries. Do not mix alkaline, standard (carton zinc),
or rechargeable (nickel cadmium) batteries.
- Store unused batteries in their original packaging, away from metal objects
that could short-circuit them. Never short-circuit batteries.

THE TRIM BUDDY / TOOL TIPS
USING THE COMB GUIDES
The Trim Buddy comes with 2 comb guides for precise trimming of your neckline,
sideburns & eyebrows.
SMALL COMB - 4MM For trimming sideburns
LARGE COMB – 7MM For trimming eyebrows
ATTACHING A COMB GUIDE
To attach a comb guide, ensure that the trimmer is switched off.
Slide the comb guide over the top of the linear trimming blade. When attaching
the comb guide, make sure that the teeth of the comb and the linear trimming
blade are facing in the same direction and that the top of the comb guide is even
with the top of the trimmer.
REMOVING A COMB GUIDE
To remove the comb guide, ensure the appliance is switched off.
If you want to completely remove hair, use the linear trimming blade without the
comb guide. The comb guides are great for pre-trimming and at-length trimming.
CHANGING THE TRIMMING BLADES
To remove a trimming blade, turn the head counter clockwise until the
‘I’ mark aligns with the “•” mark, then lift the head gently (Fig. 2).
To attach a trimming blade, align the “I” mark on the head with the
“•” mark on the body and then turn clockwise until the “I“ marks are
aligned and locked into position (Fig.3).
CAUTION: WHEN REMOVING THE BLADE OR COMB
GUIDE ATTACHMENT, BE CAREFUL NOT TO CUT
YOUR FINGERS AS THE BLADES ARE SHARP.

TRIMMING TIPS
Hit up www.vsformen.com.au for more grooming & inspiration.
USING THE LINEAR TRIMMING BLADE
1. Attach the linear trimming blade.
2. Switch the trimmer on by sliding the On/Off switch upwards so that the “I”
marking is visible.
3. Place the trimmer at a slight right angle to the skin and trim in the direction
of hair growth. 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.
4. Pull the skin firmly with one hand during the trimming process to ensure the
closest trim possible.
5. Move the trimmer slowly and carefully, so as not to cut any hair you do not
intend to trim.
6. Trim, shape and define your facial hair as needed.
NOTE: Be careful not to apply excess pressure to the blade, as this may damage
the blade and can result in injury to the skin during trimming.
USING THE ROTARY BLADE
1. Attach the rotary trimming blade.
2. Switch the trimmer on by sliding the On/Off switch upwards so that the “I”
marking is visible
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 after
every use.
The blades are washable for easy cleaning.
To remove the trimming blade, follow the instructions at CHANGING THE
TRIMMING 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 (Fig. 4).
3. For proper functioning of the trimmer, the handle
cannot touch or be immersed in water.
4. After cleaning, make sure to shake off excess water and dry the heads of the
trimming blades before replacing onto the handle.
To clean the handle of your Trim Buddy, simple wipe with a cloth that
has been dampened in water and mild detergent.
NEVER IMMERSE THE HANDLE OF THE TRIMMER IN
WATER.
