PREPPING YOUR
NEW TOOL
CHARGING
The Beard Shaper 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 for16
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 your new tool.
- Plug the charging adaptor into a suitable mains power socket and switch on.
If the battery is very weak, wait about 1 minute.
- The red charging LED indictor light on your new tool will light up when
correctly connected to the mains power. When it is fully charged, the red
charging LED indicator light will remain on.
- A full charge will supply 30 minutes cordless runtime.
- To maintain optimum capacity of the rechargeable battery, it is highly
recommended to fully discharge & then recharge your tool for 16 hours every
3 months.

HOW TO USE THE
BEARD SHAPER
BEFORE USING
• Always inspect the trimmer blades for noticeable signs of damage.
• Always inspect the trimmer blades before use to ensure they are free from
hair, debris etc.
• Ensure the trimmer is sufficiently charged before use.
• For best performance use on clean, dry hair that has been combed until
tangle-free.
OILING THE BLADES
To get the sharpest, most precise cut, it is highly recommended to oil the blades
about once a month.
Using the oil supplied with your new tool, unscrew the cap & cut off the very end
of the plastic tube with a pair of scissors to release the oil.
Switch your tool on, gently squeeze the oil tube & apply 2 drops of oil onto the
blades. Leave the tool on for a further few seconds to allow the oil to thoroughly
spread across each of the blades. Switch off the tool & remove any excess oil by
gently dabbing with a cloth.

CHANGING THE ATTACHMENT HEADS
• Before changing the heads, ensure the appliance is switched off.
• To remove a head, hold the handle of the appliance with one hand, hold the
head with the other hand and pull the head back and away from the front of
the handle.
• To attach a head, the driving pin needs to be in a central position. If it is not
in the centre, manually move the pin into position. Then, making sure that the
base of the head is seated in the handle, click the head into position.

TRIMMING TIPS
Hit up www.vsformen.com.au for more grooming tips & inspiration.
USING THE 30MM TRIMMING BLADE
The 30mm wide trimming blade has been designed for stubble, beard & moustache
trimming + shaping.
The following comb guides are for use with the 30mm trimming blade:
• 2 stubble comb guides (0.4mm + 0.8mm) for trimming stubble & moustache, and the;
• 5 position comb guide (2mm to 10mm) for tackling short or longer length beards &
goatee.
The 30mm trimming blade can also be used without any comb guide attached to outline,
and for an even closer finish.
USING THE 30MM TRIMMING BLADE TO OUTLINE
The 30mm trimming blade without a comb guide attached will cut roughly to a length of
0.5 mm.
1. Do not attach a comb guide.
2. Hold the trimmer upside down with the blade facing downwards, yet flat against the
skin.
3. Move the trimmer gently downwards in small strokes around the edge of the area you
wish to outline.
4. Having defined the outline, hold the trimmer with the blades pointing upwards, yet
flat against the skin and move the trimmer upwards against the direction of hair
growth. This will trim the unwanted hair adjacent to the outline.
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
