PREPPING YOUR
NEW TOOL
CHARGING
The Trim & Groom trimmer 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. After the first charge all subsequent charges should be 8 hours.
- Maximum battery capacity will only be reached after 3 charging &
discharging cycles.
- Ensure your new tool is switched off.
- Insert the small plug on the charging adaptor into the socket on the bottom
of the trimmer.
- Plug the charging adaptor into a suitable mains power socket and switch on.
- The red LED charging indicator light will switch on when connected to mains
power. The LED light will continue to remain on whilst charging and once
charged.
- A full charge will take 8 hours and will supply 45 minutes cordless runtime.
- To maintain optimum capacity of the rechargeable battery, it is highly
recommended to fully discharge & then recharge your tool for 8 hours every
3 months.

SELECTING A CUTTING LENGTH
The Trim & Groom comes with 1 comb guide with 18 positions (1mm to 18mm) for
crafting all types of beard and stubble + an integrated grooved dial that adjusts
the trimming settings in 1mm steps. Simply turn the dial left to right / right to
left to your desired cutting length setting.
The cutting lengths are displayed on the LED screen in ‘mm’. The length setting
on the LED screen will change as you adjust the dial.
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 (18 mm).
With the trimmer switched off, slowly pull the comb guide upwards and away
from the trimmer body to remove.
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.
Use the grooved dial to select the desired cutting length.

WASHABLE HEAD
The head of the trimmer can be washed under running water, as long as the
trimmer is switched off and unplugged from the mains power. Make sure
the head is thoroughly dry before using the trimmer again.
NOTE! The handle of the unit is not designed to be exposed to water. Do not use
the trimmer in the shower or in the bath.

USING THE TRIMMING BLADES + COMB GUIDE
1. Switch the trimmer on by sliding the On/Off button.
2. Select your desired cutting length. To adjust the cutting length of your
trimmer, simply turn the dial left to right / right to left 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. 1-2).
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.

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.

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.
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.
OIL FREE TRIMMING BLADES, THE WAY IT SHOULD BE
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.
To remove the trimming blade, follow the instructions above. Squeeze a few drops
of oil onto the reservoir pad (Fig. 3), then replace the blades on the trimmer.
Fig. 4
GOOD TO NOTE: BEFORE RE-ATTACHING THE
BLADES TO THE TRIMMER, ENSURE THEY ARE DRY
AND THE MOVING BLADE IS IN THE CENTRE (FIG. 4)
