Operation
Cutting length adjustment
Without the attachment comb, the normal cutting length of the
appliance is approx.0.7mm. The cutting length can be adjusted
between 0.7 and 3mm, even when the appliance is in use.
1. Slide the locking switch away from the blade set (Fig. 3
ⓑ ).
fBy moving the adjustment lever at the side
(Fig.4 ⓐ ), it is possible to set the cutting length to 6
pre-set positions (MultiClick).
fSliding the locking switch towards the blade set
(Fig.3
ⓐ ) unlocks the setting and restores the nor-
mal cutting length of approx. 0.7 mm.
Cutting with the attachment comb
The appliance can also be operated with attachment combs.
Attachment combs can be used to extend the cutting length range.
By moving the adjustment lever of the cutting length
adjustment (Fig.4
ⓐ ), the cutting length can be further
increased.
Depending on the model, various attachment combs are included
in the scope of supply. Various attachment combs and an adjusta-
ble attachment comb (4 –18mm) are also optionally available as
accessories.
Attaching/removing the attachment comb
1. Slide the attachment comb on to the blade set in the direction
of the arrow until it reaches the limit stop (Fig. 5
ⓐ ).
2. Slide the attachment comb off the blade set in the direction of
the arrow (Fig. 5
ⓑ ).
Maintenance
Warning! Injuries and material damage due to incor-
rect handling.
fSwitch off the appliance before cleaning it or per-
forming any maintenance and disconnect it from
the mains.
Cleaning and care
Danger! Electric shock due to penetration of liquid.
fDo not immerse the appliance in water!
fDo not allow any liquid to get inside the appliance.
Caution! Danger from aggressive chemicals.
Aggressive chemicals could damage the appliance and
accessories.
fNever use solvents or scouring agents.
fOnly use cleaning agents and blade set oil recom-
mended by the manufacturer.
Accessories and spare parts are available from your
dealer or our service centre.
fRemove the attachment comb (Fig. 5 ⓑ ) after every use.
Remove the hair clippings from the blade set with the cleaning
brush.
fIf a thorough cleaning is required, the blade set can
be removed. See chapter Changing the blade set.
fOnly wipe the appliance with a soft, slightly damp cloth.
fOil the blade set with the blade set oil (Fig. 6).
fSwitch the appliance on briefly (approx. 10 sec.) to ensure the
oil film is evenly distributed.
fFor a good and long-lasting cutting performance, it
is important to oil the blade set frequently.
fIf the cutting performance deteriorates after long
use despite regular cleaning and oiling, the blade set
should be replaced.
Changing the blade set
During assembly, align the bottom blade and top blade as follows:
1. Move the locking switch for the cutting length and the adjust-
ment lever to the position for the shortest cutting length
(Fig.3
ⓐ and Fig. 4 ⓑ ).
2. Remove the two screws at the blade set and remove the bot-
tom blade and the top blade (Fig. 8).
3. Place the top blade with groove on the wedge-shaped plastic
guide. Push the top blade down at the back so that the drive
pin grips the blade cutout.
4. Place the bottom blade and reapply both screws.
5. Before tightening the screws, align the bottom blade so that
there is a gap of 0.5mm to 1.0mm between the front edge of
the bottom blade and the front edge of the top blade (Fig. 7).
6. Tighten the two screws (Fig. 8).
7. Check the bottom blade alignment.
