2. PREPARING FOR USE
Voltage:
• Your appliance has been designed to use 220-240V only.
• Check that this voltage matches the voltage of your electricity supply.
You have chosen a rechargeable appliance, designed for use with mains power or in autonomous
(cordless) mode.
A. Mains operation:
• Switch the On/Off button to 0 (Fig. 2)
• Plug the connector into the appliance (Fig. 3) and the adapter into the mains socket (Fig. 4)
• Turn the appliance on (Fig. 5)
During use, the appliance does not recharge.
B. Cordless operation:
The appliance functions with its accumulators.
• Before using it for the first time, charge the appliance with the adapter for 14 hours. The next 3 times
you use your clipper, it is important to let it discharge completely.
The recommended charging time is 8 hours. When the charging indicator is red, your appliance is
charging.
• Once the transformer has been unplugged, the appliance is ready for 40 minutes of cordless operation.
IMPORTANT:
1) To optimise the cutting power of your blades,
it is essential to oil them before each use. See paragraph 7.
2) To avoid damaging the accumulators:
• Never charge them for longer than 20 hours at a time.
• Only charge the accumulators when there is a noticeable drop in the appliance's performance, or if the
appliance has not been used for over 6 months.
3. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• Unplug the appliance before removing the comb attachment, lubricating the blades, etc. and after
use.

10 minutes without a pause.
• Important: the clipper and the adapter must not be immersed or held under running water.
