following troubleshooting steps before  

returning it for repair:

1.  Be sure the electrical outlet is working  

by plugging in another appliance to test it.

2.  Make sure the electrical plug is not 

connected to a switch that turns power  

off when lights are turned off.

3.  Make sure that the adapter is inserted  

into the trimmer properly, all connections  

are secure and the trimmer switch is in the  

OFF position.

OPERATING 

INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT! 

Use only the adapter and 

attachments supplied with this appliance. 

Please note, if the wrong adapter is used, the 

LED will blink continuously. Once the wrong 

adapter is removed the LED will continue to blink 

for some time after removal. This is normal. When 

charging the appliance the blue LED charging 

light will flash slowly and continuously until the 

battery has fully charged, then the blue LED 

charging light will stop flashing but remain on.

1.  Before using for the first time, the appliance 

should be fully charged continuously for 

3 hours. This initial super-charge ensures 

optimum power performance to ensure 

smooth, fast trimming every time. Maximum 

battery capacity will be reached only after 3 

charging and discharging cycles.

2.  A 2-hour full charge will provide 

approximately 80 minutes of use and 

30 minutes quick charge will supply 20 

minutes use.

3.  Insert the appliance into the charging and 

storage stand.

4.  Ensure the appliance is switched off.

5.  Insert the adapter plug into the hole on 

the base of the stand and push firmly into 

position.

6.  Route the cord through the channel on the 

base of the stand and secure in place.

7.  Should you wish to charge the appliance 

without using the charging stand, simply 

place the adapter plug directly into the 

trimmer.

8.  Plug the adapter into any wall outlet (at the 

voltage listed on the label affixed to the 

adapter). Unplug the adapter when not in 

use.

9.  The adapter may become warm while 

charging – this is normal.

10. The battery life can be improved by 

periodically allowing the trimmer to run 

until the motor stops. Immediately turn the 

switch and fully recharge.

CORDLESS OPERATION

1.   Ensure appliance is charged for a minimum 

of 30 minutes. The blue LED charging light 

will flash when the adapter is correctly 

inserted into the appliance and connected 

to the outlet.

2.  Once the appliance is fully charged the 

blue LED charging light will stop flashing 

but remain on. Remove the cord from the 

appliance, turn on and use as required.

MAINTENANCE 

INSTRUCTIONS

TAKING CARE OF YOUR TRIMMER

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 the cleaning brush provided to 

brush away any loose hair that has collected in 

the blades. Then store the trimmer in its storage 

pouch 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.

In order to maintain the optimum capacity of 

the lithium-ion rechargeable batteries, the 

trimmer should be fully discharged and then 

recharged for 2 hours every 3 months.

For optimum performance, we recommend you 

charge the unit for at least 30 minutes before 

using the appliance each time. This applies 

whether you are using corded or cordless power.

PREPARATION FOR USE

Always inspect the appliance before use for 

noticeable signs of damage.

•

 Do not use if damaged.

•

 Ensure the heads are free from hair and debris.

•

 Ensure the appliance is sufficiently charged.

•

  Use on clean, dry hair that has been combed  

until tangle-free.

ATTACHING AND REMOVING ACCESSORIES

Make sure that the unit is switched off before  

changing the trimmer  

head or accessories.  

To attach a head, fit the base  

of the accessory onto the unit, 

pressing it until you hear a click. 

To remove a head, hold the 

handle of the unit in one hand 

and push up on the head with 

your free hand 

(Fig. 1)

.

USING THE CUTTING GUIDE

The cutting guide guarantees 

uniform cutting length.

IMPORTANT:

 Always attach the cutting guide 

BEFORE

 turning the trimmer on, and turn unit 

off before changing the guide. The cutting 

length of your trimmer is manually adjustable. 

To increase the cutting length,  

push the cutting guide up. To reduce the 

cutting length, push the cutting guide down. 

The selected length is displayed at the back of 

the trimmer.

Make sure you always trim or style your beard 

against the hair growth. 

TYPES OF BEARDS/MUSTACHES

GETTING STARTED: 

Decide on the type of beard or mustache 

that best suits your face, taking into account 

the size of your face and natural growth and 

thickness of your 

beard and/or mustache. After deciding on the 

form of the beard and/or mustache, it is easy to 

maintain its appearance by using the trimmer 

as soon as you feel it is necessary. For better 

results, we recommend cutting the beard when 

it is dry. This helps make the cut precise and 

comfortable. 

To outline using the beard and mustache 

trimmer:

•

 Do not attach a comb attachment.

•

 Hold the trimmer upside  

down with the blade  

facing downward.

•

 Move the trimmer gently 

downward in small strokes 

around the edge of the area 

you wish to outline.

•

 Having defined the outline, hold the trimmer 

with the blades pointing upward and move 

the trimmer upward against the direction of 

hair growth. This will trim the unwanted hair 

adjacent to the outline.

7-Position Comb Attachment 

for Beard and Mustache Trimmer

•

 Ensure the appliance is switched off.

•

 Attach the trimmer head.

•

 Align the trimmer with the tracks at the back 

of the handle. Slide the trimmer head onto 

the tracks. Push down the 

release mechanism to push 

it right on to the handle.

•

 The comb attachment will 

be set to the shortest length 

when the comb guide is fully pressed down.

•

 With your thumb, push the guide up to 

the required length (2–14mm). The comb 

attachment has 7 positions; 2mm, 4mm, 

6mm, 8mm, 10mm, 12mm and 14mm.

•

 To remove the comb, place your thumb on the 

back of the attachment and push up.

Using the Beard and Mustache Trimmer 

with 7-position Comb Attachment or Taper 

Comb Attachment

•

 Attach the 7-position comb attachments and 

select the required length (2-14mm).

•

 If you require more than one cutting length, 

start with the longest length first.

•

 Switch the trimmer on.

•

 Hold the trimmer with the teeth of the 

trimmer pointing upward.

•

 Move the trimmer upward and outward 

through the hair, against the direction of hair 

growth.

•

 The trimmer will work most efficiently when 

cutting through hair at its own speed.

•

 Never switch the appliance off while in the 

hair.

Note:

 The beard and mustache trimmer can  

be used without any comb attachments and 

will cut roughly to a length of 0.5mm.

Stubble Attachment

The taper control with 6-position switch 

enables super-fine cut adjustment for precision 

trimming.

•

 Attach taper control by 

sliding the head onto the 

tracks at the rear of the 

handle.

•

 To increase the length by 

0.5mm to a cutting length 

of 1mm, slide the switch across so the line is 

lined up with the desired length (i.e., 1mm, 

1.5mm, 2mm, 2.5mm and 3.0mm.)

•

 To increase the length by a further 0.5mm to 

a cutting length of 1.5mm, slide the switch 

down so both 1 and 2 are visible above the 

taper control switch.

Body Groomer With Comb Attachment

•

 Ensure the appliance is switched off.

•

 Attach the body groomer head by taking
