Using your beard trimmer
Speed selector
1 Normal setting for beard and contour trimming
2 High speed setting for strong beard and difficult areas (e.g. chin) and
hair cutting
A Beard trimming
• Place the small distance comb on the beard trimmer while the on/off
switch is on position «0».
• To start trimming, press the on/off switch and push it up to the desired
beard length. You may choose between 6 settings: approx. 1, 3, 6, 9, 12,
16 mm.
• It is advisable to begin with the highest setting and then reduce the
setting until you reach the desired beard length.
• Hold the distance comb with the angled edge against your beard and
guide the trimmer against the direction of hair growth.
• As you become familiar with beard length settings, you may want to
adjust the memory switch to your preferred beard length setting by
sliding it up. With the preset memory switch, the motor will not start
before the on/off switch has reached the memory switch setting.
• To avoid clogging the distance comb with hair, clean it from time to time
with the brush. Please note that the distance comb can only be taken off,
when the trimmer is turned off.
B Hair cutting
• The hair should be clean, well combed, tangle-free and dry.
• Proceed as described under (A), but using the larger distance comb
(settings approx. 10 /12 / 15 / 18 / 21 / 25 mm). If you are not used to
clipping hair, begin with a higher setting and then reduce the setting to
avoid cutting more hair than desired. If you want to cut your hair shorter
than 10 mm, we advise to first cut it with the larger distance comb down
to 10 mm and then use the smaller distance comb for the desired length.
• Use a slow and controlled movement. Do not force the appliance through
the hair faster than it can be cut.
• In between, shake or blow off the hair. If too much hair is caught in the
distance comb, remove and clean it. Please note that the distance comb
can only be taken off, when the trimmer is turned off (position «0»).
