USING THE APPLIANCE

NOTES:

The trimmed beard must be dry.

  • The length of the cut may vary according to the cutting angle.
  • Start with the comb attachment set to the longest cut, and then use shorter cut lengths gradually during cutting.
  • Switch on the device by sliding the switch to the ON position.
  • Before cutting for the first time, turn on the trimmer by sliding the switch to the ON position and make sure that the appliance works normally and the blades move smoothly.

Setting the cut lengthFor a minimum length of the cut it is possible to use the trimmer without a comb attachment. To completely remove the comb attachment, gently push the attachment from the back of the device with your thumb until it releases from the lock. To adjust the cutting length on the attachment, turn the wheel (No. 6) clockwise or counterclockwise relative to the mark on the trimmer body. Each setting level, see column “A”, corresponds to a specific cutting length in mm, see column “B” in the table Setting the lengths of the cut.

Beard trimmingMake sure that the beard is clean and dry before cutting it. Do not use shaving gel or foam as they may damage the trimmer.Trim your beard in the direction of the beard growth. Make sure the head is at a right angle to the skin.

NOTE: Always turn off the trimmer during breaks in cutting.

 

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

You can remove the head with the blades. Press the head release button in the direction of the arrow on the button and carefully remove the blades. The shaving blades are sharp, so take extra care when handling them. When reinserting the cutting blades make sure that the head is properly seated in the device. It has to snap into the body.

Turn off the device.

  • Remove the removable comb attachment and rinse with water. Before reassembly, allow it to dry thoroughly.
  • Use the included cleaning brush to clean the cutting head with the blades.
  • Never clean the blade head with water or any other liquid.
  • We recommend gently lubricating the moving teeth of the cutting edges with silicone oil after each use.
  • You can use the supplied oil.
  • Use only acid free oil.
  • DO NOT USE vegetable oils, fats or oils with solvents for lubrication. The solvents evaporate, leaving a thick layer of lubricant, which can slow down the movement of the blades.
  • Gently press the blades from the underside to open the head and lubricate the moving parts of the mechanism.
  • Remove excess lubricant with a dry, lint-free cloth.
