Troubleshooting If your rechargeable trimmer does not seem to be taking a charge, take the following troubleshooting steps before returning it for repair: 1. Be sure the electrical outlet is working by plugging in another appliance to test the outlet. 2. Make sure the electrical plug is not connected to a switch that turns power off when lights are turned off. 3. Make sure the adapter is properly connected to the trimmer, that all connections are secure, and that the trimmer switch is in the OFF position. Operating Instructions 1. Before using the trimmer for the first time, charge continuously for 16 hours. Maximum battery capacity will only be reached after 3 charging and discharging cycles. 2. Always check to see if the charging light is on when you connect the adapter to the trimmer. 3. Plug the adapter into any wall outlet (at the voltage listed on the label affixed to the adapter). Unplug adapter when not in use. 4. The adapter may become warm while charging. This is normal. 5. Preserving the batteries: in order to maintain the optimum capacity of the rechargeable batteries, the clipper should be recharged for 16 hours approximately every 3 months. 6. This trimmer comes with a detachable trimmer head. To remove, make sure the trimmer is in the OFF position, turn the head counterclockwise until I mark aligns with arrow mark on the back of the body and then pull up.

MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS Taking Care of Your Trimmer Oiling the Blades About once a month you should oil the trimmer blades with the oil provided in your kit. It is best to do this over a piece of newspaper. Turn the trimmer on and hold it so that the blades are pointed downward. Spread one drop of oil across the blades, wait a few seconds for oil to disperse, then turn the trimmer off and wipe away the excess oil with a soft cloth. Be careful not to use too much oil and don t oil your trimmer more than necessary, as this could damage the motor. (Never attempt to oil the motor bearing, as it is permanently lubricated.) Keep oil away from children. Blade Care Because the trimmer blades are precision-made for a very special use, they should always be handled with care. Each time you finish using the trimmer, use a cleaning brush to brush away any loose hair that has collected in the blades. Then store the trimmer in its recharging storage stand to protect the blades until the next use. Be especially careful when changing or adjusting blades. When you have your trimmer serviced, be sure that both blades are sharpened or replaced at the same time. To promote the long life of the appliance, use your trimmer only for the purpose intended by the manufacturer to trim your beard and mustache. DUAL-BLADE TECHNOLOGY The new dual-blade technology features a detachable upper blade for regular trimming and a lower blade that provides a close, even cut with the first pass and can also be used as a detailing blade. Growing a Beard and Mustache There are three key factors that will determine which beard or mustache style is best for you: 1. The shape and dimensions of your face. 2. The natural growth of your beard/ mustache.
3. The thickness of your beard/mustache. If you are unsure about the type of beard or mustache that would most suit your face, speak with a professional hair stylist and ask for an opinion on what style would be best. Once your beard or mustache has been styled, it is essential that you maintain its appearance. To do this, use your trimmer to trim your beard/mustache weekly. For the best trimming results, your beard should be slightly damp (NOT WET) when using your trimmer. This will prevent the trimmer from removing more hair than desired. Types of Beards/Mustaches Getting Started The dual blade cutting system is designed to neatly, quickly and evenly trim your beard, goatee, mustache, neckline and even close-cut stubble. While both blades are used for trimming, the upper blade can easily be removed, leaving the bottom blade for detailing fine lines and edging. S1 J1 J2 J3 5-POSITION COMB Close stubble look 1mm trim 2mm trim 3mm trim 4mm, 6.5mm, 9mm, 11.5mm & 14mm trims Comb guides: The table above explains the trim length for each comb. You should start out with a longer trim length comb and work your way down to the desired trim length. `
S1, J1, J2, J3 5-POSITION COMB THE SINGLE DETAIL TRIMMING BLADE Turn the red knob at the base of the trimmer head (see Fig. 3) to extend the upper blade forward (see Fig. 4). The single blade is now ready to be used for fine line detailing and touch-ups. Turn to extend and retract top blade. Fig. 5 Turn the red knob back in the opposite direction to retract the single blade and align both blades for standard use and 2x the cutting action (see Fig.5).
HOW TO USE THE SINGLE DETAILING TRIMMING BLADE UPPER BLADE REMOVAL AND ATTACHMENT The trimmer s upper blade can be removed to use the single detailing blade as shown in Fig. 6 and Fig. 7. Step 1 Push the upper blade forward Step 2 Lift the blade off. The single detailing blade can now also be removed for easy maintenance. Make sure the trimmer is in the off position and, with the power switch facing you, press the blade on the teeth and in the direction away from you until it pops out of the housing. When re-attaching the single detailing blade, make sure the lever is positioned in the slot of the blade cushion (see Fig. 8). Fig. 8 To re-attach upper blade, (see Fig. 9 and Fig. 10), make sure the tab is positioned in the slot of the blade cushion (see Fig. 11). Upper Trimming Blade Single Detailing Blade Fig. 11
Step 3 Line up rear tab with opening in lower blade. Fig. 9 Fig. 10 Step 4 Insert the rear tab, slide forward until the 2 front tabs drop in and the blade snaps in place. Outlining Your Beard 1. It is always best to begin with a clean, slightly damp beard. 2. After you have combed through your beard in the direction it grows naturally, you will want to outline the desired shape, beginning under your jawline. 3. Begin defining your beard s shape under your chin and work upward on each side of your face toward your ears. Then define the upper outline of your beard across your cheeks, past your sideburns, and toward your hairline. to Trim Your Beard 1. The trimmer includes a five-position comb for use with the hair trimming blade (4 14mm). Each position increases the length by 2.5mm. 2. To use the 5-position comb, slide the unit over the trimmer blade and snap it down into position. At first, until you become familiar with the adjustments, use the longest trim setting. (You can always go back and make your beard a little shorter.) 3. Begin trimming your beard using smooth, even strokes. Start with your sideburns and work downward toward your chin. (Never attempt to trim against the natural growth of your beard because the hair will be cut too short.)
Blending the Jawline 4. If you decide you want a closer trim, you can now adjust the 5-position comb attachment to a shorter setting (such as 4 6.5mm) and go over your beard again until you achieve the desired length. 1. The three jawline attachments will help you to achieve a neat, finished trim under your chin. To use one of the attachments, press it down over the trimmer blades until it clicks into position (jawline J1 provides 1mm, jawline J2 provides 2mm and jawline J3 provides 3mm). 2. Hold the trimmer in an upright position and begin trimming under your jawline using short, even strokes. 3. After your beard is blended, turn off the trimmer and remove the attachment by gently pulling up on tab. IMPORTANT NOTE To use comb attachments, turn the red knob counterclockwise to retract the single blade, then attach the desired comb attachment (see Fig 12). Fig. 12
To Trim Your Mustache 1. For best results, start with a clean, slightly damp mustache. 2. Comb through your mustache in the direction it grows. 3. Place the 5-position comb over the facial hair blade and snap it into position. It is a good idea to start with the longest trim setting adjustment. (You can always go back and cut your mustache more closely with a shorter setting.) Always trim your mustache from the top down 4. After your mustache has been trimmed to the desired length, remove the 5-position comb and, using the blades only, define the outline of the bottom of your mustache. 5. Use the single detailing blade for fine detail trimming and edging. HOW TO GET THE STUBBLE LOOK This trimmer includes 1 stubble comb that allows you to achieve different looks of stubble or shadow to your already existing growth. The stubble comb fits on the blade just like the jawline comb. Note Blending the Jawline section for specifics on how combs/jawline combs go on. on/off switch To operate, simply slide switch toward blade; to stop, push switch away from blade.
