feature.

Adjustment with Trimmer

ensures precise trimming
and has 4 adjustable
positions (see chart
below).

Adjuster to desired set-
ting. Adjuster will “click”
into position (Fig. 4).

(#4) to prevent accidental-
ly trimming hairs too
short (Fig. 3).

of hair growth (Fig. 6)
As you become familiar
with the settings, slide
Adjuster to desired trim-
ming length.

Use only the Charging Base
provided.
(Re)charge at tempera-
tures between 40˚F and
95˚F. Charging at lower or
higher temperatures
adversely affects lifetime
of battery.
Charging requires a full
10 hours.
Recharging longer than
the required period of time
will not harm Trimmer.
However, continuously
charging Trimmer will
reduce life of battery.
VOLTAGE
In North America, Central
America, and South America,
the most common voltage is
between 110 and 130V AC.
When traveling to other
countries, common voltage
may range to 240V AC. Your
new Trimmer Charging Base
may be used with voltage of
120V AC only.
1. Be certain Trimmer is OFF
(Fig. 1).
2. Plug the cord of Charging
Base into the electrical
outlet.
3. Charge the Trimmer in the
Charging Base.
4. Green Charging Indicator
Light will light
to indicate
Trimmer is (re)charging
(Fig. 2).
NOTE:
1. The Charging Base can
also be used to store the
Trimmer.
2. In order to ensure the
longest possible working
life of the battery:
Do not charge for more
than 24 hours.
Do not keep the Charging
Base permanently plugged
in.
Plug in Charging Base
only when the trimmer
motor sounds like it is
running slower. This indi-
cates the rechargeable
battery will be empty
soon.
Discharge the battery
completely once a year
by letting the motor run
until it stops.
3. If the battery is empty and
you want to trim your
beard, charge Trimmer for
at least 1.6 hours and you
will have enough power
for one use.
4. If the Trimmer hasn’t
been used for a long
period of time, Trimmer
must be recharged for a
full 10 hours.
