Beard trimming
Trimming with guard
Note: When you trim for the first time,
start at a length setting that is longer
than what you are used to, to familiarize
yourself with the product.
This product comes with one beard and
stubble guard.
- Use the trimming guard attached to the
cutting element to trim your beard,
stubble and mustache in your preferred
style. Turn the zoom wheel to choose
from 10 length settings ranging from
0.4mm (1/64 in.) to 10mm (25/64 in.) (Fig.
7). The length settings are mentioned at
the back of the guards.
1 Make sure the product is turned off.
2 Slide the guard into the guiding grooves
on both sides of the product ('click') (Fig.
5).
3 Turn the zoom wheel to select the
desired length setting (Fig. 6). The
selected length setting is shown on the
front of the handle. For the beard and
stubble guard: the silver color refers to
length settings ranging from 0.4mm (1/64
in.) to 10mm (25/64 in) (Fig. 6).
4 Turn on the product (Fig. 8).
5 To trim most effectively, move the
product against the hair growth direction.
Make sure that the surface of the guard
always stays in contact with the skin (Fig.
9).
Since all hairs do not grow in the same
direction, you may want to try different
trimming positions (i.e. upwards,
downwards, or across). Practice is best
for optimum results.
6 If a lot of hair has accumulated in the
guard, remove it from the product and
blow and/or shake out the hairs.
Regularly remove cut hair from the guard.
The selected hair length setting does not
change when the guard is removed.
7 Turn off and clean the product after each
use (see 'Cleaning').
Trimming without guard
If you trim without the guard (0.4mm or 1/64
in.), your hair is cut close to the skin. You
can use the trimming head without the
guard to:
- Define hair line
- Trim nape of neck
- Remove single unwanted hairs
1 Make sure the product is turned off.
2 Pull the comb off the product (Fig. 10).
-
Never pull at the flexible top of the
comb. Always pull at the sides.
3 Turn on the product.
4 Make well-controlled movements. Touch
the hair lightly with the trimmer.
-
For a comfortable trim close to your
skin, place the flat side of the trimming
head against your skin and make
strokes in the desired direction (Fig. 11).
-
For contouring, hold the trimming
head perpendicular to the skin and
move the trimming head upwards or
downwards with gentle pressure (Fig.
12).
5 Turn off and clean the product after each
use (see 'Cleaning').
Hair clipping
- For best results, use the product on
clean, dry hair. Do not use it on freshly
washed hair.
- Before you start clipping, comb the hair
in the direction of hair growth.
- When you trim for the first time, start at
the highest length setting to familiarize
yourself with the product.
- To achieve optimal clipping results,
always move the product slowly through
the hair against the direction of hair
growth.
1 Make sure the product is turned off.
2 Slide the comb into the guiding grooves
on both sides of the product ('click') (Fig.
5).
3 Turn the zoom wheel to select the
desired length setting (Fig. 7Fig. 6). The
