RECHARGING YOUR TRIMMER
1. This trimmer is conveniently designed for household use. It should be
allowed to charge 1 hour before first use.
2. Remove the trimmer, transformer and accessories from the packing
material.
3. Connect the transformer to the trimmer, BE SURE THE TRIMMER IS IN
THE OFF – 0 POSITION WHEN CHARGING.
4. Plug the transformer into any convenient electrical outlet at the correct
voltage.
5. When trimmer is low in power, it should be connected to the
transformer and plugged into an outlet to assure maximum power is
available when it is next used. This transformer is designed to
completely charge the battery without over charging. Do not use the
trimmer while it is charging.
6. The battery will take approximately 60 minutes to charge. The lithium
Ion trimmer also has quick charge capability.
WARNING: Only use the transformer supplied with the trimmer
TROUBLESHOOTING
If your trimmer does not seem to take charge, check the following before
returning it for repair.
1. Check outlet to make sure it is working by plugging in another
appliance.
2. Be sure the trimmer is properly connected to the transformer, all
connections are secure and the switch on the trimmer is turned OFF – 0
3. If you electricity is connected to a master power switch, we suggest the
trimmer be disconnected from the charger anytime the master switch is
off. Leaving the unit plugged into a dead outlet or unplugged charger
will drain the battery.
4. If the trimmer does not run and is completely charged, turn the unit
ON – I and pinch or push the blades manually. (Oil may have dried out
between the blades, so they may be temporarily stuck together).

may even become slightly irritated. This is normal since your beard and
skin will need time to adjust. Invest 3 weeks and you’ll soon enjoy the
full joy of your razor.
How to shave with an electronic razor
• Shavingwithacleandryfacegivesthebestresults.
1. Turn razor ON with the on/off button. Shave against the direction of the
beard growth using both straight and circular movements.
2. Stretch your skin taut with your free hand so blades can more clearly
cut whiskers. Gently press razor to skin so the floating heads can follow
the contour of the face.
WARNING: Do not press to hard as hair does not feed so well, too much
pressure can pinch the skin into the blades.
3. Turn razor OFF with the On/Off switch
NECKLINES AND SIDEBURNS USING TRIMMER HEAD
Detach shaver head had previously described. Attach trimmer blade,
slowly move trimmer downward on desired areas to neatly trim and shape.
TRIMMING AND EDGING YOUR FACIAL HAIR
The following are suggested trimming steps and trimmer positions, you
may find different procedures work better for you.
1. Comb your beard in the direction that it grows to help reveal stray hairs
that may be longer than others.
2. Attach the 6 positions trimming guide to trim and taper your beard.
Begin with guide set at a long trimming length. Trim toward your chin
in smooth, overlapping strokes following the lay of the beard. If you
trim against the way your beard naturally lays, the trimmer will cut the
hair much shorter and the result may be patchy.

7
Lithium Ion Triple Play
Adjust the trimming to progressively shorter settings until you reach
the desired length of beard. You may wish to set the trimming guide
attachment to cut closer near the ear and down under the chin. When
the trimming guide is removed, it will remain at the last length setting
until you change it.
Always be sure the trimming guide is locked solidly into the desired
position before you start to trim.
3. To cut the outline of your beard, remove the trimming guide. Starting
under your chin and working back toward your jawbone and ears, cut
the outer perimeter underneath the jawbone. Continue the line all the
way up to the ears and hairline.
4. Accentuate your beard line by using the trimmer in a downward motion.
Start at the line you’ve created and, working from the chin back toward
the ears, trim the area right under your beard line.
5. Define the upper part of your beard using the same technique.
6. For a neater finished look, replace attachment blade to the detail
attachment. Use this blade for fine, detail trimming anywhere it is
needed, such as the sideburns near the ears, goatees e.t.c.
USING GUIDE COMBS
To attach the guide combs, hold the comb with the teeth up. Snap guide
comb attachment firmly to the bottom of the trimmer blade.
TRIMMING WITH GUIDE COMBS
The stubble guide has 1 bar, the medium cut attachment has 2 bars and the
long cut attachment has 3 bars. These attachments are ideal for blending,
tapering and defining beards, as well as for achieving a close trim stubble
look around the face. To use the attachments, go with the hair direction. To
achieve closer looks, go against the hair direction.
TRIMMING NOSE HAIR
Make sure the nasal passages are clean. Slowly move the detailer in and
out of each nostril, no more than ¼ inches deep.
TRIMMING EAR HAIR
Make sure the outer areas of the ears do not contain any wax. Hold the ear
flat with one hand and carefully insert detailer no more than ¼ inches into
the outer ear.

8
Lithium Ion Triple Play
WARNING: Do not insert the detailer or any other foreign object into the
inner ear.
For hair growing on the outside of the ear, simply move the detailer slowly
along the edges of the ear.
TRIMMING EYEBROWS WITH COMB
Snap on the eyebrow guide comb on detailer. Slowly move the detailer to
neatly trim stray hairs. Do not press hard against brow as it may remove
too much hair. You may also use your trimmer blade with the #2 or #3
guide comb. Move the trimmer with the direction of the hair flow (from the
bridge of your nose to the temple). Be sure to mind your eyelashes as you
trim.
TRIMMING ARM & LEG HAIR USING TRIMMER HEAD
Simply glide the trimmer over your arm or leg until desired hair length is
achieved. The first time you trim the hair, start by using a longer setting on
the guide comb on the guide comb on the trimmer, then use progressively
shorter settings if a shorter length is preferred.
TRIMMING CHEST & STOMACH USING TRIMMER HEAD
Glide the trimmer over your torso region, in an upward motion until desired
hair length is achieved. For tight, scratch free trimming use the #1 guide
comb.
TRIMMING PRIVATE AREAS WITH THE TRIMMER & DETAILER HEAD
1. Volume reduction using trimmer head. Attach guide comb and select
a long trimming length. Begin trimming, starting at the top and working
down. Use progressively closer settings to get the look and length you
prefer.
2. For hard to reach or tight areas, use the detailer head. Always pull skin
taut. Then slowly move the detailer through the area to trim until desired
look is accomplished.
3. Shave your private areas by gently shaving in the desired area and
always keep the skin taut.
