INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
IMPORTANT : CHARGING
First time use
• The Lithium Pro Stubble is so easy to use, but before you do anything you
must take your time to charge the unit for 3 hours before its first use.
Even if you want to use it plugged in to your shaver socket, this initial
super-charge ensures optimum power performance to give smooth fast
trimming every time.
After the first charge a full charge will only take 90 minutes. Maximum
battery capacity will only be reached after 3 charging/discharging cycles.
• Connect the power adaptor to the socket on the underside of charging
stand.
• Plug the power stand adaptor into a suitable bathroom shaver socket.
• Always check that the charging indicator on the LED comes on when you
place the product in the power stand.
Regular charging
• A full charge will take 90 minutes and will supply enough power for
minimum 60 minutes continuous cordless use. the approximate remaining
using time is shown on the LED display.
• In order to maintain the optimum capacity of the rechargeable batteries, the
appliance should be recharged for 3 hours every 3 months approximately.
• The Lithium Pro Stubble comes with a quick charge feature. A 5 minute
charge will provide enough power for approximately 3 minutes use.
• When the unit is charging the display lights up for a few seconds showing
the running time remaining. The minutes will flash increase until it reaches
maximum capacity of 60 minutes.
• When LED display has less than 5 minutes left, the time symbol indication
will change to red.
Preparation for Use
Always inspect the Lithium Pro Stubble before use to ensure the cutting
head is free from hair and debris and is running smoothly.
Operation
To switch the super stubble on, press the O/I button. The LED will also show
the selected cutting height and approximate usage time remaining.

After 10 seconds, the blue LED for the usage time remaining will be switched
off but cutting height LED will be kept illuminated whilst the motor runs.
When there is approximately 5 minutes left shown on the LED display, the
time symbol will change colour to red and will also start to flash. When
the LED displays «00», this indicates that the unit needs to be recharged,
however it may continue to run for a short while after.
Using the comb guide
The comb guide allows you to change the cutting length of your trimmer.
You’ll need to experiment to find your preferred length, but as a guide,
0.4mm will give you very short stubble, whilst 1.6mm will give you a longer
stubble look. 2mm+ will give you a short beard.
• Ensure the comb guide is correctly positioned by pushing the comb guide
gently downwards to secure into place.
• Use the digital touch control ‘‘up’’ or ‘‘down’’ buttons to adjust the
telescopic comb guide to the required length.
• The cutting lengths are displayed on the LED screen in ‘‘mm’’ – scroll
through the available length settings with the digital touch controls.
There are 24 length settings available: 0.4mm-5.0mm in 0.2mm increments
• Select your required length – the length setting will then remain displayed
on the LED screen.
• Push the power button to switch the Lithium Pro Stubble on.
Memory Function
This stubble trimmer has a memory function that stores the last chosen
length setting. When the unit is switched off the comb guide returns to
0.4mm position. When the trimmer is switched back on the comb guide
automatically moves up to the last chosen length setting.
Using the trimmer without the comb guide
• Using without the comb guide is ideal for detailing/shaping and general
tidying of edges.
• To detach the comb guide, gently hold the trimmer in one hand and with
your thumb and index finger push up on each side of the comb guide
(g.1). 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 (g. 2).

• Switch the Lithium Pro Stubble on by pushing the ‘‘power on’’ button.
The LED will illuminate and the blades will start to move.
• If you are looking for an ultra-close nish, you can use the trimmer
without the comb guide. This will give you an extremely short cut.
IMPORTANT: please note when using the trimmer without the comb guide,
the cutting length will be below 0.4mm. The length setting shown on the
LED screen will no longer be relevant when the comb guide is detached.

lock all buttons from activating accidently.

until the time display counts downs from 5 to 1. When the countdown
reaches 1, the lock signal is shown.
• To de-activate the travel lock press and hold the I/O button for 2 seconds
until the time display starts to count down from 5 to 1 and the motor
switches on and starts running. The travel lock is now deactivated.

deactivated.

Lithium Pro Stubble Top Tips
• Use on clean, dry hair.
• If possible, when using for the rst time, try and grow your facial hair for a
few days before cutting so you can trim down to a level that is best for you.
• Set the cutting length as required.
• It is always best to start cutting with a longer length rst, then trim again
if the length is longer than desired.
• Hold the Lithium Pro Stubble against the hair, the teeth of the comb
guide should be pointing upwards and should be flat against the face.
• Move the trimmer upwards through the hair, a little at a time, against the
direction of hair growth. The floating and contouring head will follow
the curves of your face to ensure both accuracy and comfort.
• The Lithium Pro Stubble will work most effectively when cutting through
the hair at its own speed – never force through the hair. You may
experience a little resistance when trimming the neck area, where hair is
thicker and grows in many different directions. This is completely normal.
• Just like shaving, extra time should be given when trimming under the
neck area, as again this is where hairs grow in many different directions.
• Never switch the trimmer off whilst in the hair.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
• Regular cleaning will maintain the high performance of your Lithium Pro
Stubble.
• Switch off and remove the power cord if connected.
• Detach the comb guide by gently lifting the front of the comb guide
from both sides and flipping it over to the back of the unit and locking it
into position by clicking it securely onto the fastener on the back of the
handle.
• Use the cleaning brush supplied to brush away any hair and debris.
Do not use a sharp object to clean the trimmer blade.
• The blades can be removed to aid cleaning.
• To remove the blades hold the handle of the i-stubble with one hand,
place your thumb underneath the blades and push the blades away from
the handle.
• Gently blow away any hair trapped beneath the blades.
• The blades can be rinsed under the tap. After rinsing the blades they may
need to be oiled. See oiling instructions below.
• Before re-attaching blade to the trimmer, ensure the blades are dry and
moving blade is in the centre. Please refer to Fig. 3.
• Please do not use any chemical liquids when cleaning the trimmer.
• Ensure you clean the blades after each use and before storing away.
• It is highly recommended to oil the blades from time to time with the oil
provided. This ensures optimum cutting performance. For the rst use
you will need to use the oil supplied with the product, unscrew the cap
and cut off the very end of the plastic tube with a pair of scissors to
release the oil. To oil the blades ensure the unit is switched on. Gently
squeeze the oil tube and apply 2 drops of oil onto the blades. Leave the
unit on for a further few seconds to allow the oil to thoroughly spread
the length of the blades. Switch off the unit and remove any excess oil by
gently dabbing with a cloth.
