INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

• Prior to initial use, test the trimmer on a small area of arm or leg hair.
If any signs of allergic reaction or sensitivity occur, discontinue use.
Do not use on very sensitive or irritated skin.
• Always inspect the appliance before use for noticeable signs of
damage. Do not use if damaged.
• Ensure the trimming heads are free from hair and debris (refer to the

Inserting the Batteries
The trimmer requires 2 x AA batteries. We recommend using alkaline
battery in the trimmer. To insert or replace the batteries, remove the
battery compartment cover by rmly pushing down on the casing. Insert
the batteries as indicated on the inside of the battery compartment.

Replace the casing by sliding it back into the main trimmer unit until it
clicks into place. If the appliance remains unused for a while or if the
batteries have run down, remove them from the appliance.
Do not mix old and new batteries. Do not mix alkaline, standard (carton
zinc), or rechargeable (nickel cadmium) batteries.
Trimmer Guide
To attach the trimmer guide
• Ensure the appliance is switched off.
• Position the grooves on the inner sides of the trimmer guide over the
corresponding notches on either side of the cutting head.
• Slide the trimmer guide downwards over the cutters until it will go no
further.
To adjust the trimmer guide
• The marking on the handle should be aligned with the desired grade
number indicated on the trimmer guide.
Grade 1 - 3mm
Grade 2 - 6mm
Grade 3 - 9mm
Grade 4 - 12mm
Grade 5 - 15mm
• Push the rear of the trimmer guide upwards with your thumb until it
clicks into position, and the marking on the handle is aligned with the
required grade number on the trimmer guide.
• Use the longest setting at rst, until you become familiar with the
adjustment. If you want a shorter cut, you can adjust the comb to
a shorter position and go over the hair again until you achieve the
desired length.
To remove the trimmer guide
• Switch the appliance off.
• Push the base of the trimmer guide upwards until it comes away from
the cutting head.
For best performance:
• Use on clean, dry hair that has been combed until tangle-free.

To outline:
• Comb the hair to be trimmed in the direction of growth.
• Do not attach the guide.
• Switch the appliance on.
• Hold the trimmer upside down and, holding it gently against the skin
at the required position, move away from the hair.
• Having dened the outline, hold the trimmer against the skin, the teeth
of the trimmer pointing upwards yet at against the skin, and move
the trimmer against the direction of hair growth from the opposite
direction of the dened outline.
To trim the beard:
• Attach the trimmer guide and select the grade required. If using more
than one grade, start with the longer grade rst.
• Switch the appliance on.
• Hold the trimmer against the hair, the teeth of the trimmer guide
pointing upwards yet at against the face.
• Move the trimmer upwards and outwards through the beard, a little
at a time, against the direction of hair growth.
• The trimmer will work most efciently when cutting through hair at its
own speed. Never force the trimmer.
• Never switch the trimmer off whilst in the beard.
To trim the moustache:
• Attach the trimmer guide and select the grade required.
• Switch the appliance on.
• Hold the trimmer against the moustache; the teeth of the trimmer
guide pointing upwards yet at against the face.

against the direction of hair growth.
• Once the moustache is trimmed to the desired length, remove the
trimmer guide.
• Dene the outline of the bottom of the moustache.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
To maintain optimum performance, the appliance should be cleaned
after each use:
• Remove the comb guide after use. Rinse the comb guide under
running water and dry thoroughly before storage or use.
• The cutting head of the trimmer is detachable for easy cleaning.
Hold the trimmer pointing away from you with the cutters pointing
upwards. Position your thumb underneath the cutter and push
upwards to take the cutting head off.
• Using the cleaning brush remove any remaining hair from the trimmer
blades.
• To replace the cutting head, align the lug on the rear of the head with
the corresponding groove on the back of the trimmer, and snap down
into place.
• When used regularly the clipper blades will not need to be oiled.
However, if the appliance has not been used for a prolonged period
of time it is advised to oil the blades before use. After cleaning,
switch the appliance 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 specically formulated and does not evaporate
or slow the blades.
