carbon zinc batteries.
To Insert Batteries

the OFF position.
2. Hold Trimmer horizontally
and press the release tabs
located at base of
Trimmer. Gently slide bat-
tery compartment out of
Trimmer housing until it
stops (Fig. 1)
NOTE: Battery compart-
ment is not
removable.
3. Insert the batteries as
shown making sure the (+)
and (-) markings on the
batteries match those on
inside compartment of
Trimmer (Fig. 2).
4. Slide the battery
compartment back into
Trimmer housing (Fig. 3).
NOTE: Trimmer will not
operate if batteries are
inserted incorrectly. If you
do not intend to use the
appliance for a long time,
remove the batteries.
Leaking batteries can cause
damage to the product.
To Remove Batteries
1. Follow steps 1-2 above.
Push the batteries out of the
holder as shown (Fig. 4).
Trimmer Guard
Attachment must be in
place on the Trimmer in
order to use the Zoom
Ring.
Zoom Ring with Trimmer
Guard Attachment ensures
precise trimming and has
9 adjustable settings (see
chart below).
Zoom Ring will “click” into
position at each setting.
Start at a longer setting
(#7, 8 or 9) to prevent
accidentally trimming
hairs too short (Fig. 5).
Trim against the direction
of hair growth (Fig. 6)
As you become familiar
with the settings, adjust
Zoom Ring to desired
trimming length.

ed hairs

ment and gently slide
