Follow these instructions to insert a spacer comb:

• Start with the highest setting of the spacer comb and gradually decrease it until you have the desired hair length.
• For optimal results, use the device with the blades facing the opposite direction of hair growth.

or shake out the accumulated hair.

DISPOSAL

The product is packaged in recyclable materials. Dispose of it in compliance with the environmental protection standards.

Pursuant to Art. 26 of Italian Legislative Decree no. 49 of 14 March 2014 “Implementation of Directive 2012/19/EU on waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE)”, the crossed bin symbol on the appliance or its packaging indicates that the product must be disposed of separately from other waste

at the end of its useful life. The user must therefore take the appliance to an appropriate recycling centre for electrical and electronic equipment. Alternatively, instead of handling the disposal, the appliance can be handed over to the retailer when a new, equivalent appliance is purchased. Retailers of electronic products having a sales area of at least 400 m2 can also be handed electronic products that are to be disposed of measuring less than 25 cm, free of charge and with no obligation to buy. Appropriate separate collection for the subsequent procedure for the decommissioned appliance for recycling, which includes treatment and environmentally friendly disposal helps prevent adverse effects on the environment and health and promotes reusing and/or recycling materials that the appliance consists of.
