Charge the appliance fully before you use it for the
first time and after a long period of disuse.
Charging takes about 8 hours if the appliance is
completely empty.
1 Make sure the appliance is switched off.
2 Insert the appliance plug into the appliance
and put the adapter in the wall socket (Fig. 3).
When you charge the appliance, the battery
,
light flashes green.
When the appliance is fully charged, the
,
battery light lights up green continuously.
If the fully charged appliance is still connected
,
to the mains after 30 minutes, the battery
light goes out.
Battery low
When the battery is almost empty (when there
are approx. 7 or fewer trimming minutes left),
the battery light turns orange. When you switch off

Corded trimming
When the rechargeable battery is low, you can also
run the appliance from the mains.
To use the appliance connected to the mains:
1 Switch off the trimmer and connect it to the
mains.
2 Wait a few seconds and then switch on
the appliance.
Note: If the battery is completely empty, wait a few
minutes before you switch on the appliance.
Using the appliance
Beard trimming
Always comb your beard or moustache with a
fine comb before you start trimming.
Trimming with trimming comb
The hair length settings are indicated in millimetres
on the trimming comb. The settings correspond to
the remaining hair length after cutting.
The trimming comb cuts hair to a length of
1-18mm.
If you trim for the first time, start with the
maximum hair length setting (18mm).
1 Slide the trimming comb onto the
appliance (Fig. 4).
2 Turn the adjustment ring (Precision
Zoom Lock `) to the desired hair length
setting. (Fig. 5)
The selected hair length setting is
,
indicated by the arrow on the side of the
appliance. (Fig. 6)
3 Switch on the appliance (Fig. 7).
4 To trim most effectively, move the appliance
against the direction of hair growth (Fig. 8).
Note: Make smooth and gentle movements and make
sure the surface of the trimming comb always stays in
contact with the skin.
Note: Do not move the appliance too fast.
5 Switch off the appliance after use and clean it
(see chapter 'Cleaning').
Creating a stubble look
- Use the trimmer with the trimming comb set
to a hair length of 1mm to create a stubble
look (Fig. 9).
- If you want even shorter stubble of 0.5mm,
use the trimmer without the trimming comb
attached.
Trimming without trimming comb
Use the trimmer without trimming comb to trim
full beards and single hairs.
1 Remove the trimming comb (Fig. 10).
Note: Never pull at the flexible top of the trimming
comb. Always pull at the bottom part.
2 Make well-controlled movements and touch
the hair lightly with the cutting unit.
Absorbing cut hairs
The suction mechanism is activated automatically
as soon as you switch on the appliance. It absorbs
cut hairs during every kind of use, i.e. trimming with
and without trimming comb and contouring.
We advise you to empty the hair-collection
chamber after each trimming session. When you
trim long, dense beards, it may also be necessary
to empty the hair-collection chamber during the
trimming session in order to maintain optimal
suction performance (see chapter 'Cleaning',
section 'Hair-collection chamber').
Note: To ensure optimal functioning of the vacuum
system, do not cut off more than approx. 7mm of
your overall beard length at a time. If you want to cut
your beard shorter, repeat the process one or more
times.

or aggressive liquids such as alcohol, petrol or
acetone to clean the appliance.
