PREPPING YOUR
NEW TOOL
CHARGING
The XPERT BEARD trimmer is so easy to use. But before you start using your new tool, you
must take the time to charge it overnight for 3 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 for 3 hours.
After the first charge a full charge will only take 2 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 base of the
trimmer.
- Plug the charging adaptor into a suitable mains power socket & switch on.
- The blue charging LED indictor light on your new tool will slowly flash when correctly
connected to the mains power. When it is fully charged, the blue charging LED indicator
light will remain on.
- A full charge will take 2 hours & will supply 120 minutes cordless runtime.
- A quick charge of 20 minutes will supply 20 minutes cordless runtime, sufficient for a
single instant beard or stubble trim.
- To maintain optimum capacity of the rechargeable battery, it is highly recommended to
fully discharge & then recharge your tool for 3 hours every 6 months.
- When the trimmer is running low on charge, the blue LED indicator light will flash,
warning you there is approximately 3 minutes left of battery use remaining.
- lf the blue LED suddenly starts to flash rapidly then the appliance is faulty. lf this
happens then please stop charging & remove the adaptor from the mains & contact
our customer care centre for further advise (see the “warranty section” section of the
information booklet).

• Unscrew the cap and cut off the very end of the plastic tube with a pair of
scissors to release the oil.

and apply 2 drops of oil onto the blades.

TRIMMING TIPS
Hit up www.vsformen.com.au for more grooming tips & inspiration.
USING THE TRIMMING BLADES + COMB GUIDE
1. Make sure your blades are properly rinsed and oiled (see page 12).
2. Use a comb, combining through your facial hair in an upward motion on your
chin, jaw cheeks and neckline. This will make the hair stand up, helping make
trimming more even.
3. Switch the trimmer on by pressing the On/Off button.
4. Select your desired cutting length. To adjust the cutting length
of your trimmer, simply turn the dial left to right / right to left
to your desired cutting length setting.
5. When trimming, hold the comb guide flat against the skin.
For the most precise, consistent trim, the tips of the teeth &
the little corners protruding from the comb should always be
in contact with the skin. If not, the precision of the cut may
change. (Fig. 1-2).
6. It is suggested to trim the hair in the direction of hair growth,
as trimming against the direction of growth could cause a rash
or irritation.
7. Pull the skin firmly with one hand during the trimming process to ensure the
closest trim possible.
8. Move the trimmer slowly & carefully, so as not to cut any hair you do not
intend to trim.
9. Trim, shape & define your facial hair as needed.
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.

TRIMMER CLEANING &
MAINTENANCE
Because the trimmer blades are precision made for a very special use, they
should always be handled with care. To ensure long-lasting performance of your
trimmer, it is important to clean the blades + the comb guide after every use.
The blades are washable for easy cleaning.
To remove the trimming blade, make sure that the trimmer is switched off & the
cutting comb guide is removed. Hold the trimmer with the blades pointing up &
remove them by pressing their points.
To clean the blades:
1. First, take a small brush & brush away any loose hairs that have collected
in the blades.
2. Rinse the trimming blades under running water. The comb guide can also be
rinsed separately.
3. After cleaning, make sure to shake off excess water & dry the head of the
trimming blades + comb guide before replacing onto the handle.
After rinsing the blades, they will need to be re-oiled.
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.
