inserted into the trimmer and connected to the mains power
supply.

stand.

Detail Trimmer
The detail trimmer is ideal for creating accurate edge lines and
detailed tramlines in hair and facial hair.
Foil Shaver
The foil shaver is ideal for shaving facial and body hair close to the
skin and is ideal for creating a clean, sharp edge to facial hair styles
and for trimming hard to reach areas, particularly around the ears
and nape of the neck. The foil shaver will leave the skin feeling
smooth and refreshed, with reduced irritation.
The foil shaver with this appliance should be used for dry shaving
only.
For optimum results, it is recommended to trim the hair rst if it is
quite long.
NB – Always inspect the foil whilst shaving for signs of damage.
Never shave with a damaged foil as this may result in injury.
1. Ensure the trimmer is switched off and that the skin is dry, not
damp.
2. Attach the foil shaver attachment and switch the trimmer on.
3. Use your free hand to stretch the skin and make the hairs stand
out.
4. Move the shaver slowly over the skin, applying minimal pressure
and allow the shaver to fully shave tough areas of hair. Do not
press.

5. For the closest shave, shave against the direction of hair growth,
or with the hair growth, whichever is preferred, but remember
that hair grows in different directions.
Full Size Trimmer and 4 Comb Guides
The full size trimmer attachment is ideal for trimming body hair to a
short length, or maintaining longer hair using the 4 comb guides.
1. Ensure the trimmer is switched off.
2. Attach the full size trimmer attachment.
3. Select one of the 4 comb guides:
i. = 3mm
ii. = 5mm
iii. = 7mm
iv. = 10mm
4. Place the comb guide onto the back of the full size trimmer,
ensuring that the top of the comb guide is positioned over the
front of the full size trimmer blades.
5. Using your thumb, push the bottom of the comb guide onto the
base of the trimmer blade until it clicks into place.
6. To remove the comb guide, lift the comb guide up from the base
of the trimmer blade and off the full size trimmer.
Rotary Blade Attachment
The rotary blade attachment features a rotary cutting action that
provides safe, hygienic trimming of nose, ears and eyebrow hair.
To trim your nose and hair:
1. Ensure the trimmer is switched off.
2. Attach the rotary blade attachment and switch the trimmer on.
3. Gently insert the trimmer into your nostril or ear canal to trim
unwanted hair.

4. Move the trimmer in and out of the opening of the nostril or ear
canal using a circular motion, taking care not to come too close
to the border of the nostril or ear.
NB – Always turn the trimmer on BEFORE you insert into your
nostril or ear canal to avoid painfully snagging hairs.
Never insert the trimmer more than 5-6mm into your nose or ear.
Using any deeper than this can cause injury.
To trim your eyebrows:
1. Ensure the trimmer is switched off.
2. Attach the rotary blade attachment and switch the trimmer on.
3. Turn the trimmer onto the side and hold the trimmer sideways,
of whichever is most comfortable for you to use.
4. Place the rotary blade at the ends of the eyebrow and gently
trim the eyebrows against the direction of hair growth (or with
the hair growth, whichever is preferred), holding the skin and
allowing the hairs to stand out.

BEST CUTTING PERFORMANCE
1. Always inspect the appliance before use for noticeable signs of
damage. Do not us if damaged.
2. Ensure the attachment heads are free from hair, etc.
3. Ensure the trimmer is sufciently charged.
4. Use on clean, dry hair that has been combed until tangle-free.
5. The trimmer will work most efficiently when cutting through hair
at its own speed. Never force the trimmer.
6. Never switch the trimmer off whilst in the hair.
To Trim:
1. Ensure the trimmer is switched off.
2. Attach the required attachment and comb guide, if required. If
using more than one cutting length, start with the longest length
rst to avoid cutting hair shorter than required, until you are
familiar with the cutting length setting.
3. Switch the trimmer on.
4. Hold the trimmer with the teeth of the trimmer pointing upwards,
yet flat against the skin.
5. Trim the hairs using a downward motion, following the direction of
hair growth, or against the hair growth, whichever is preferred.
6. Since all hair grows in different directions, you may want to try
different trimming methods (i.e upwards, downwards or across).
7. After achieving the desired length, use a downward motion to
blend and smooth the moustache hairs.
8. After trimming, lightly go over the trimmed area with the foil
shaver to remove any short hairs remaining. You can also use
the foil shaver to create a clean, sharp edge to your stubble,
moustache or sideburns.

To Outline:
1. Ensure the trimmer is switched off.
2. Attach the detail trimmer and do not attach a comb guide.
3. Hold the trimmer upside down, gently flat against the skin.
4. Move the trimmer in a downward direction.
5. Having defined the outline, hold the trimmer with the teeth
pointing upwards, yet flat against the skin and move the trimmer
upwards against the direction of hair growth. This will then trim
the unwanted hair adjacent to the outline.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
To ensure long lasting performance of your trimmer, it is important
to clean the blades regularly.
1. Ensure the trimmer is switched off before cleaning.
2.Thoroughly brush or gently blow away any loose hair and debris
that has built up on the blades.
Washing and Oiling the Attachments:
The precision trimmer, detail trimmer, full size trimmer and rotary
blade attachments are washable, but should not be fully submerged
in water, as this will cause damage to the attachments.
After use, only the trimmer attachments can be removed from the
trimmer handle and cleaned by placing under cool running water.
• Do not use hot water to clean the attachments.
• Dry immediately and shake off excess water, then dry with a
cloth.
NB – If the attachment heads are rinsed under water, the blades
must be lubricated again using the lubricating oil provided. To oil
the blades:
1. Attach a trimmer head to the handle.
2. Add a few drops of the oil supplied over the blades.
3. Switch the trimmer on for a minute and then turn off.
4. Wipe away any excess oil with a soft cloth.
5. Be careful not to use too much oil, and don’t oil your trimmer
more than necessary.
6. Oil the blades regularly to main optimum performance.
7. DO THIS FOR THE PRECISION TRIMMER, DETAIL TRIMMER, FULL
SIZE TRIMMER AND ROTARY BLADE ATTACHMENTS.
8. This light, natural oil is similar to oil used in sewing machines,
which can be purchased from your local art and crafts store.

Comb Guides:
1. Remove comb guides after use.
2. Use the cleaning brush to remove any hair from the guides.
3.The guides may be rinsed under running water, but must be
completely dry before storage or use.
