Batteries (BKT-1000 only) Your BKT-1000 runs on 2 AAA ALKALINE batteries. Inserting the batteries ■ Be sure the trimmer is off. ■ You can find the battery compartment on the opposite side of the trimmer from the Thumb Wheel. ■ Open the battery compartment by pressing its tab in toward the door and lifting the door up. ■ Insert the batteries so that the (+) and (-) marks on the batteries face the same marks inside the battery compartment. Trimmer will not operate if batteries are inserted incorrectly. ■ Replace the battery cover by inserting the end opposite the tab and then pressing the tab until it clicks into place. The battery cover only fits one way. If it does not go on correctly, turn it around. Battery cautions ■ Use of non-alkaline batteries will hurt the unit’s operating performance. ■ Batteries should not be left in the unit if the unit is not in use for long periods. ■ To prevent battery corrosion,the unit should be kept in a dry environment. ■ Dead batteries should be removed immediately and disposed of properly. ■ Do not use recharged batteries with this appliance.The lower voltage in recharged batteries impairs the performance of the cutting unit. Adjusting the Trim Length Edging and shaping The trimmer comb can be adjusted to give you 5 different trim lengths,simply by turning the Thumb Wheel to the desired setting. Turn the Thumb Wheel clockwise for shorter length,counter-clockwise for longer length. The wheel will click into place as it reaches each setting,and the setting number will appear on the Length Position Indicator. Here’s what the length settings mean: Remove the adjustable trimmer comb attachment if you are defining hairline edges for shaping. Setting

Trimming ■ Use the Thumb Wheel to set the trimmer comb to the desired length setting.It’s a good idea to begin trimming at one of the longest settings (4 or 5) to avoid accidentally trimming hair too short.As you become familiar with the settings, you can then select your desired length setting. ■ Turn the unit on. ■ Place the flat top of the trimmer comb against the skin. ■ Slowly slide the trimmer through hair. Repeat from different directions as necessary. ■ If hair builds up in the trimmer comb during the trimming process,shut the unit off,pull off the adjustable trimmer comb and brush it off. ■ For an even closer look and precise shaping,remove the adjustable trimmer comb and trim the hairs along the outer edge. ■ When you are finished,turn the trimmer off, clean it,and return it to its storage pouch. ! Never use trimmer with damaged or broken cutter units. ? If the cutters do not move: The cutting unit may be dirty and clogged.Clean and lubricate the unit as described on the next page.

Cleaning and Maintenance Clean Your Groomer Regularly Clean your trimmer regularly to ensure that the unit’s operating life is not prematurely shortened. Weekly ■ Turn trimmer off. ■ Remove the adjustable trimmer comb attachment.(See "Removing the trimmer comb" in the "How to Use" section above.) ■ Push upward on the cutter teeth to pop off the cutter assembly. ■ Shake or blow out any accumulated hairs. ■ If you have the BKT-2000,you may also rinse it under running water. Cleaning cautions: ■ Do not use water on any part of the BKT-1000.It is not water-tight. ■ Only the adjustable trimmer comb and cutter assembly may be removed from the trimmers for cleaning. ■ Cleaning should only be done with a soft brush,such as the brush supplied with the units. ■ Do not use harsh or corrosive cleaners on the units or their cutters. ■ Do not apply pressure or hard objects to cutters. ■ Do not disassemble cutter set. Oiling the Blades Your trimmer is fitted with high-quality stainless steel cutting blades,which will remain permanently lubricated in a dry environment. Your BKT-1000 will never need oiling. If you use your BKT-2000 in the sho wer or rinse it under running water, you will periodically need to add a drop of oil to the cutting blades to keep them operating at peak performance.Simply remove the adjustable trimmer comb and place a drop of oil on the teeth of the cutter assembly. Oil cautions ■ Use only the light-grade oil supplied or a suitable alternative like sewing machine oil—these oils will not evaporate and will not slow down the blades. ■ Do not use hair oil,grease,or any oil mixed with kerosene or solvent, as the solvent will evaporate and leave the thick oil,slowing the blades. Storage ■ Always store this appliance and cord in a moisture-free area. Do not store it in temperatures exceeding 140°F (60°C). ■ Do not wrap the cord around the appliance. ■ This appliance has no user serviceable parts. For any other servicing contact an authorized Remington Service Center.
