How to Use
Trimming Beards
■ Before you begin, comb your hair in the
direction that it grows so that the hairs
are at their maximum height and facing
in the same direction.
■ Determine how much hair you want to
cut and position the hair length selector
accordingly. Remember, until you are
familiar with using the trimmer, it’s
always better to select a longer hair
setting initially in order not to trim too
much hair.
■ Turn the unit’s power switch to ON, and
begin trimming.
■ When finished trimming, turn the unit’s
power switch to OFF.
To Trim the Beard’s Hair
Length
■ Trimmer guard attachment is on.
■ Turn the trimmer so the front of the
cutting unit (“Zoom Wheel” side) is
facing away from you.
■ Start trimming under your chin and,
following your jawbone line, work toward
your ear and upper beard line using an
upward motion.Allow the hair length
selector attachment to follow the
contours of your face.
You may trim either
against or with the
direction of beard
growth, whichever
is preferred.
To Define the Beard Line
■ Remove trimmer guard attachment.
■ Hold trimmer vertically with cutting
blades facing you.
■ Start with edge of beard line.With
the cutting blades resting lightly
against your skin, use
motions towards edge of
beard line to trim it to
desired location in facial
area and away from
beard in neck area.
To Thin and Taper the Beard
■ Trimmer guard attachment is off.
■ Use the unit’s styling comb or a small
comb and hold the beard hairs in place
while trimming.
■ Holding the trimmer
hoizontally with the
cutting unit facing away
from you, move
the trimmer along the
length of the comb.
Creating the “Stubble Look”
■ Trimmer guard attachment should be
on and set to position 1 (1.5 mm) or
2 (2.5 mm).
■ Hold trimmer horizontaly
with the cutting unit
facing either up or
down.
■ Trim hairs using an
upward or downward
motion against or with
the direction of hair
growth, whichever
is preferred.
■ For an even closer
“stubble look,” remove
the hair length selector
attachment and repeat
the previous two steps.
However, caution must be taken not
to remove too much hair, creating a
“blotchy” look.
