The Hair Length Selector allows you to choose among 9 preset hair lengths and clicks into position so you can control the exact hair length you desire or vary the length of your facial hair.

The Philips Norelco All in 1 Grooming System for professional, goof-proof results every time or your money back.

Trimming

▶ Make sure hair is clean and dry.
▶ Always comb the hair with the styling comb in the direction of growth before you start trimming.

Do not move the Groomer too fast. Make smooth and gentle movements.

Trimming your Beard & Moustache with AccuControl Guide CombAttachment

▶ Use this Groomer for its intended household use as described in this manual.
- Make sure that the Groomer is fully charged before you start trimming. This Groomer will not operate while cord is connected to electrical outlet.

1 Put the AccuControl comb on the full width trimmer attachment until you hear it click into place (fig. 6). The AccuControl comb will not work with the smaller neckline and sideburntrimmer, ormini shaverattachments.

2 Press the Hair Length Selector and slide it to the desired trimming length setting. The selected setting number will appear in the window to the left of the Hair Length Selector (fig.7). See Table 1 for settings.

If you are trimming for the first time, start by using the AccuControl comb at the maximum trimming length setting (#9) to prevent accidentally trimming hairs too short. As you become familiar with the settings, adjust Hair Length Selector to desired trimming length. Selector will "click" into position at each setting.

3 Switch the Groomer ON.

4 To trim in the most effective way, move the Groomer against the direction of hair growth. Make sure the surface of the Guide Comb always stays in contact with the skin (fig. 8).

NOTE: Since all hairs do not grow in the same direction, you may want to try different trimming directions (i.e., upwards, downwards, or across). Practice is best for optimum results.

If a lot of hair has accumulated in the Guide Comb, remove the comb and blow and/or shake the hair out of the comb. You can also use the cleaning brush provided to remove hair from the comb area.
▶ REMEMBER: You must reset the hair length selector back to your desired setting every time you replace the guide comb on the appliance.

Table 1. Beard Trimmer

Setting		Remaining hair length (in.) /(mm)
1	Stubble	.08 in/2mm
2	Closely Cropped	.16 in/4mm
3	Short	.24 in/6mm
4	Medium Short	.31 in/8mm
5	Medium	.39 in/10mm
6	Medium Long	.47 in/12mm
7	Long	.55 in/14mm
8	Extra Long	.63 in/16mm
9	Longest	.71 in/18mm

The remaining hair length corresponds with the smallest distance between the cutting blade and the spot where the comb is in contact with the skin.
- Cutting without the comb attachment or setting the AccuControl guide comb to #1 position will result in a stubble beard look.

Beard Trimming Without AccuControl Guide Comb

▶ Trimming nape of neck
▶ Removing single, unwanted hairs

1 Be certain the Groomer is in the OFF position.

Never pull off the AccuControl comb attachment by grasping the flexible top portion. Always pull off by the bottom part of attachment.

3 Switch the Groomer on.

4 Make well-controlled movements. Touch the hair/skin lightly with the Groomer.

Defining Beard, Moustache and Sideburns

1 Be certain the Groomer is in the OFFposition.

4 Turn off Groomer. Rinse attachment clean after each use.

Trimming Ear Hair

• Clean outer area of ear and ear canal. Make sure it is free of wax.
  ▶ Nose, ear and eyebrow attachment should be on the Groomer.

2 Carefully insert the tip into outer ear canal.

CAUTION: Do not insert the tip further than 3/16 in./5mm into the ear as this could cause damage to the eardrum (fig. 16).

Shaving With Mini Shaver Attachment

2 Use the narrow mini shaver to shave along contoured edges to remove any stubble while creating a smooth, well-defined beard line.

Before using the mini shaver, always check it for wear and damage. If the mini shaver shows signs of wear or damage, do not use it as injury may occur. Do not use the mini shaver until it has been replaced.

Gently press the mini shaver onto the skin. Do not press too hard.

Hair Clipping

• Make sure that the appliance is fully charged before you start clipping hair. The appliance will not operate while cord is connected to electrical outlet.

  ▶ Only use the appliance on dry hair.

  ▶ Before you begin, comb the hair in the direction of growth.
  ▶ To achieve optimal clipping results, always move the appliance slowly through the hair against the direction of hair growth.
