socket fi rst before disconnecting the plug
from the appliance.
∙ Whilst charging, the transformer within
the adaptor will become warm. This is
perfectly normal and safe and does not
indicate a malfunction of any kind.
∙ If the appliance has not been used for
a long period of time, the capacity of
the battery may decrease by a certain
amount. However, full capacity will
be restored after several charging/
discharging cycles.
Operation
Adjusting the cutting length
The push-on attachment combs allow for
adjusting the cutting length and are fi tted
over the trimming comb. The combs have
the following sizes: 3 mm, 6 mm, 9 mm
and 12 mm. The thinning head is useful for
thinning out the hair. Unlock and remove the
attachment after use.
A few remarks on cutting hair
∙ Before each use, always put a few drops
of acid-free oil between the trimming
comb and the trimming blade.
∙ Always start with the largest push-on
comb.
∙ The hair should fi rst be combed, and then
generally cut against its natural direction.
∙ For longer hair-cuts use a push-on comb
or a normal comb.
∙ Cut from bottom to top with the trimming
comb lying against the head; lead the
appliance upwards through the hair,
moving it gradually away from the head at
the same time.
∙ For a shaped cut, reverse the appliance
and shorten the hair from top to bottom
without using the push-on comb.
∙ The thinning head is useful for thinning
out certain parts of the hair by a third, eg
for modern, short-style hair. Cut the areas
to be thinned against the natural direction
of growth.
Cleaning and care
General
∙ It is essential to switch off the appliance
and remove the adaptor from the wall
socket before cleaning and oiling.
∙ For safety reasons, the electric hair
trimmer and the adaptor must not be
immersed in liquid or even allowed to
come into contact with liquid.
∙ If necessary, the housing may be wiped
with a smooth dry cloth.
Trimming head
∙ After each use, remove the hair from the
trimming comb and the blade with the
cleaning brush. The trimming head can be
removed for cleaning by using the thumbs
to push down the two release buttons
towards the base.
∙ After cleaning, and also after the
appliance has been used for approx.
25 minutes, put a drop of acid-free oil
between the trimming comb and the
trimming blade on each side, and then
switch the appliance on briefl y to ensure
that the oil is well and evenly distributed.
Regular oiling guarantees good cutting
performance over a long period and thus
a long service life.
∙ During periods of non-use, the thinning
head can be used as a protective cover
for the trimming head.
