8 Using your Cordless Hair Cutting Set The cordless ceramic hair cutting set can be operated as a cordless or mains-powered appliance The appliance must be fully charged before using for the first time. To reach the optimum recharge capacity, the batteries should be charged for 12 hours. Do not charge for longer than this time. Ensure that the Hair Cutter is switched off by pushing down the on/off switch. Place the Hair Cutter on the charging base and plug the mains adaptor into the mains outlet and switch on. A red light on the Hair Cutter will light up. The Hair Cutter will work for approximately 60 minutes with a full charge. To ensure a long service life of the batteries, they should always be completely discharged before recharging them. To discharge them completely, the Hair Cutter should be operated until it comes to a complete standstill. NB: Do not charge for longer than the recommended time of 12 hours. 8

9 Using your Cordless Hair Cutting Set continued Choosing the cutting length Choose one of the two cutting length attachments When using the shorter attachment you can set the cutting lengths to the following length settings: 4, 8, 12, 16 or 20mm. When using the longer attachment you can set the cutting lengths to the following length settings: 24, 28, 32, 36 or 40mm. Attach the comb of your choice to the unit, ensuring that it clicks into position. Press your thumb down on the lever on the back of the attachment comb and gently guide upwards until your cutting length choice is visible in the window. The numbers 4-40 represent the cutting guide lengths Make sure that the attachment is always firmly locked in before you start trimming hair. If you wish to further shorten the hair or beard, you can push the comb attachment downward into another position to repeat the cutting process. 9

10 Using your Cordless Hair Cutting Set continued Using your Hair Cutter The first time you use your Hair Cutter, cut a small section of hair to familiarize yourself with the cutting length of each comb attachment. Ensure that the Hair Cutter is clean and that there is no hair in the blades. Place the person whose hair is about to be cut so that the top of their head is at eye level. The hair should be clean and dry or damp. Comb hair free of tangles. If the hair is longer than 10cm, it might be easier to cut the hair to a manageable length using the barbers comb and scissors provided before using the cutter. Start at the back of the neck with the blades pointing upwards and gently guide the cutter up through the hair towards the top of the head. Do not force the cutter through the hair quickly as this may pull the hair and cause discomfort. Repeat on the sides of the head. To cut hair on the top of the head, start at the front and gently guide the cutter through the hair to the back of the head. 10

11 Using your Cordless Hair Cutting Set continued Shake the cutter regularly over a waste container during use to remove clippings. If a lot of hair accumulates during cutting, switch off, remove the comb and brush hair from the blades with the cleaning brush provided. If the cutter slows during use, the blades may need cleaning. Cutting Contours and shaving the nape of the neck For straight lines around the ears and shaving the nape of the neck remove the comb from the cutter. The ceramic cutter set permits an exact following of the contours even at points of difficult access and also clean shaving of the hairline on the nape of the next. Hold the cutter at right angles to the head with the top side facing down. With the blades in contact with the skin, move the cutter downward. Repeat until a neat line is achieved. 11

12 Using your Cordless Hair Cutting Set continued Trimming beards and moustaches Select the appropriate cutting length. Start below the chin and gently guide the cutter upward and towards your ear. Using the comb and scissors provided, comb the moustache downward and trim carefully along the lip line. Thin-out Function Choose the desired comb attachment length and set the thin out function with the top slide switch (1.0). With this function you can reduce the volume of hair without changing the hair length. 12

13 Care and Cleaning Cleaning the Hair Cutter Blades Switch off the appliance and pull out the mains plug from the mains outlet. Remove the cutting length comb from the appliance. Ensure the thin out function switch is set to "O". Press the cutter set with your thumb pushing the cutter set away from the appliance until it clicks out from the holder. Remove remaining hair residue from the cutter set with the enclosed cleaning brush. The cutter set can also be washed under flowing water. The appliance can be wiped down (WET or DRY) but it must not be immersed in water as it contains live parts (rechargeable batteries). Once the cutter set is completely dry, insert it again by guiding the bottom projection of the cutter set into the housing opening and firmly pressing the trimmer head until it audibly latches. Oiling the trimmer head Ceramic blades do not require regular oiling however we do recommend that they are oiled if the Hair Cutter has not been used for an extended period. Remove the cutting length comb and the cutter set from the appliance as described in the Cleaning the hair cutter section. Apply one to two drops of oil between the cutting teeth and spread out the oil evenly. Wipe off excess oil with a cloth. 13
