24 Rotary Control Cutting Length Settings (0.4-5mm)
This trimmer uses an integrated comb guide with 24 precision
cutting length settings, eliminating the need for changing and
storing different attachment combs. The cutting guide has a manual
rotary control and features a display window for confirmation on
thelengthsettingselected.Themanualrotarydialcontroladjusts
the comb guide in exact 0.2mm steps.
1. To use the trimmer at your desired cutting length setting, simply
adjustthecombguidebyturningthewheel.
STARTING AND USING YOUR I-STUBBLE FACIAL TRIMMER
1. Once you have selected your desired cutting length, switch the
trimmeronbyslidingthepowerbutton.Itisalwayssuggested
to start cutting with a longer length first, then trim again if the
length is longer than desired.
2. Hold the trimmer against the hair, the teeth of the comb guide
should be pointing upwards and should be flat against the face.
Ifthecombguideisnotatagainsttheface,youmaynotgetan
even cut.
3. Move the trimmer upwards through the hair, a little at a time,
with and against the direction of hair growth, whichever is most

comfortable, as most men have hair growing in various directions.
4.The i-Stubble will work most effectively when cutting through
the hair at its own speed – never force the trimmer. You may
experience a little resistance around the moustache area, where
hair is thicker and grows in many different directions. This is
completely normal.
5.Neverswitchthetrimmeroffwhilstinthehair.
6. To turn the trimmer off, simply slide the power button down the
‘O’position.Thetrimmerwillthenswitchitselfoff.
USING THE COMB GUIDE
Your i-Stubble comes assembled with the comb guide already
installed. The comb guide allows you to change the cutting length
ofyourtrimmerwithease.You’llneedtoexperimenttondyour
preferred length, but as a guide, 0.4mm will give you an ultra close
short, shadow stubble effect, whilst 1.4mm or 1.6mm will give you
alonger,designerstubblelook,5mmwillgiveyouashortbeard.
USING THE TRIMMER WITHOUT THE COMB GUIDE
Usingthetrimmerwithout the comb guide is idealfordetailing/
shaping and general tidying of edges around your stubble,
sideburns and moustache.
1. To detach the comb guide, gently hold the trimmer in one hand
and with your thumb and index fi nger, push the comb guide up
oneachside(Fig.1).
2.Flip the comb guide to the back of the unit and lock it into
position by clicking it securely onto the fastener on the back of
thehandle(Fig.2).
