Charging the clipper (HC 50 only)

When charging for the first time or when the appliance is not used for a few months, leave the appliance to charge continuously for 4 hours. The charging light shows that the appliance is being charged. When the battery is fully charged, the charging light turns off. Intermittent blinking after a while indicates that the battery maintains its full capacity. This can also happen short term when charging after the battery was completely discharged. Once the clipper is completely charged, use it without the cord until discharged. Then recharge to full capacity again (1 hour). A full charge will give up to 30 minutes of cordless trimming depending on your hair. However, the maximum capacity will only be reached after several charging/discharging cycles. Best environmental temperature range for charging is 15 °C to 35 °C. If the rechargeable battery is discharged, you may also operate the clipper via the mains cord. (If the clipper does not run immediately, charge it for approx. 1 minute in the «off» position.)

The person whose hair you want to cut should sit in a position where the top of the head is at your eye level. The hair should be clean, well combed, tangle-free and dry. Ensure you have a firm, but relaxed grip on the clipper. If you are not used to clipping hair, begin with a higher setting and then reduce the setting to avoid cutting more hair than desired. Use a slow and controlled movement. Do not force the clipper through the hair faster than the clipper can cut it. In between, shake or blow off the hair from the clipper. If too much hair is caught in the distance comb, remove and clean it. To control your progress during clipping, regularly comb the hair in the style desired.

Push the distance comb (1) onto the hair clipper until it locks. The hair length selector (5) must be in position «1». To choose the desired length setting (4), push down the length selector and shift it upward. To start clipping, shift the on/off switch (6) to «on». 9

Keep the distance comb flat on the hair, parallel to the head, and slowly move against the direction of hair growth. The distance comb can only be taken off when the length selector is set to «1».

Clipping or trimming without distance comb

Remove the distance comb (only possible at setting «1»). To start clipping, shift the on/off switch to «on». Move the cutting system only in a parallel position to the skin (A, cutting hair). Slowly and carefully move the appliance against the direction of hair growth. Only when trimming contours should the cutting system be positioned vertically (B, trimming). Make sure you do not tilt the appliance while it is touching the skin (C). Avoid jerky movements while cutting.

Clipping with the barber’s comb

To cut longer hair, hold it up with the barber’s comb (10) and cut it with the scissors (11) or with the clipper (distance comb must be removed from the clipper – only possible at setting «1»).

Keeping your clipper in top shape

After each use and when the distance comb is taken off, slightly shake or brush hair from the clipper and the distance comb. Press the release button (3) to open the cutting system (2). Using the brush (13), clean the cutting system and the inside of the clipper. To keep the cutting system working properly, oil it with light machine oil after each use (D). Then click the cutting system back to its original position. After use, unplug the cord from the appliance for longer cord life. Preserving the rechargeable battery (HC 50 only) In order to optimise the capacity and life of the battery, it should be fully discharged through regular use every 6 months approximately. Then recharge to full capacity again. Do not keep the clipper on permanent charge. Do not expose the clipper to temperatures of more than 50 °C for longer periods of time. 10
