How to Use

Charging/Recharging

To recharge, use only the charging adapter provided.

Turn the clipper off. Insert the adapter plug into the bottom of the clipper, then plug the adapter into an electric outlet. The charging indicator will glow green, indicating the unit is charging. A full charge will take approx. 14-16 hours. The low-battery indicator will glow red when the clipper needs to be recharged.
- Your clipper cannot be overcharged. You may leave it plugged in between uses. However, if the clipper is not going to be used for an extended period (2 weeks), unplug the unit and recharge when resuming use.
Charge the clipper at temperatures between 40 - 90^ to avoid adversely affecting battery life.

Blade Care

The life of your clippers will depend on frequency of use, care, and hair type and condition. The EZ TRIM's blades are lubed for life and do not require additional oil. Blades should be replaced when cutting efficiency has deteriorated. Contact a Remington Service Center for a quotation.

Before Cutting Hair

1. Make sure your hair clipper is running smoothly, with a slight vibration.
2. The person should be seated so that the top of his head is at your eye level.
3. Comb the hair as it is normally styled.
4. Comb out all knots and tangles.
5. Ensure the hair is dry. Hair clippers perform best with dry hair, making it easier to see how much hair is being cut.
6. Hold the hair clipper in the palm of one hand with your thumb resting firmly on the top of the hair clipper. This grip provides comfortable cutting control.

Storage

Always store this appliance and cord-adapter in a moisture-free area. Do not store it in temperatures exceeding 140^ (60^)
- 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.

Selecting Hair Length Setting

The EZ TRIM's adjustable trimmer attachment lets you change trim lengths simply by rolling the clipper's Zoom Wheel.

Roll the Zoom Wheel toward the top of the clipper to adjust for longer length, and toward the bottom of the clipper for shorter length. The wheel will click into one of 9 positions.
Begin trimming at one of the

longest settings (#8 or #9) to avoid accidentally trimming hair too short. As you become familiar with the settings, you can then select your desired length setting.

Trimmer Guard Attachment

NOTE: Trimmer guard must be attached to the clipper in order to use the hair length selector.

Remove trimmer guard attachment if you are defining hairline edges such as sideburns, trimming the nape of your neck, trimming your beard line on front of neck, or if you want to clean the cutter assembly.

To remove:

• Be sure the clipper is in the OFF position.
  While holding clipper in one hand and holding the Zoom Wheel to prevent it from turning, gently pull the trimmer guard attachment away from the clip

per. The guard can be removed and replaced on any setting.

To replace:

■ Be certain clipper is in OFF position.
While holding the clipper in one hand, and holding the Zoom Wheel to prevent it from turning, slide the guard over the top of the clipper until it clicks into position.

NOTE: The trimmer guard attachment can only be placed on the clipper one way; if it does not fit properly, remove and reverse it.

Usage Tips

Giving a Comfortable, Even Cut

Allow the clipper to cut through the hair without moving it too quickly. Moving the clipper too quickly may create a pulling sensation.

Use short strokes when cutting, and initially use the longest setting. You can always use a closer setting later if you want a closer cut.

How to Give a Haircut

1. Start at the back of the head. Holding the clipper as shown, lightly stroke upward making sure you are taking off the desired amount

of hair. Work your way up to the crown of the head in layers. When completed, comb the area to remove any loose hair and to determine whether

you need any further cutting.

1. Repeat the same procedure for each side of the head. Make sure the length of the hair is trimmed to the same length on both sides of the head.

1. To cut the hair at the top of the head, hold the hair between your fingers and cut a small amount at a time. Cut from the front to the back.

2. To trim around the ears and short hairs at the nape of the neck you must remove the trimming guard. Angle the clipper and lightly stroke around each ear to the

back of the neck. Be careful not to touch the ears or to press too hard.

1. The final trim can be made with the hair clipper or the included scissors. Make sure to check over the entire head for any uneven areas. For styled hair or giving quick trims, you may prefer using your hair clipper without the trimming guide.

Very short styles

1. Using a shorter setting (#1 or #2), hold the comb flat against the head and move the hair clipper from the back of the neck to the crown of the head.
2. Cut in a similar manner from the side to the top of the head. Then cut from the front to the crown of the head.
3. If a "Flat Top" style is desired, remove the trimming guide and use the barber's comb. Trim a little at a time until a flat look is achieved.

Trimming Beards & Mustaches

1. Comb your beard in the direction it grows.
2. Determine the length you want the beard to remain, and choose the corresponding setting.

Remember the 1.5mm (#1) guide will give you the shortest beard while the 14mm (#8) or 18mm (#9) will give you the longest. If you want a longer beard you can use the barber's comb as a trimming guide.

1. Start trimming under your chin and work toward your ear and beard line. Cut in different directions for a uniform trim.
2. Lightly stroke the edge of your mustache in a downward movement.

Battery Removal

When your rechargeable clipper reaches the end of its useful life, the batteries must be removed and recycled or disposed of properly in accordance with ye requirements.

The following procedure should be followed for battery removal:

Make sure your clipper is unplugged from any outlets so you don't risk an electric shock.
Remove the clipper guard and remove the blade assembly.
Using a small Phillips head screwdriver, remove the 4 screws from the clipper's back cover.
Remove the metal spring clip using a screwdriver or pliers. Face unit away from you when removing.

Pull or gently pry the clipper halves apart, exposing the batteries.
Pull or pry batteries from PC board.
Twist batteries to break wires. Wires may also be cut.
