Care The following is the symbol for a washable clipper. The symbol means the hand‑held part may be cleaned under water. Mounting and removal of the blade

1. Hold the clipper with the “Panasonic”

mark facing upward and push the blade

with your thumb while catching the

blade in your other hand. Be sure to set the switch to “0•CHARGE” before you remove the blade. •

2. To remount the blade, fit the mounting

hook into the blade mounting on the

clipper and push in until it clicks.

Blade life Blade life will vary according to the frequency and length of use. It is expected to be about 2 years when using the clipper twice a month for 20 minutes each time. If cutting efficiency is reduced despite proper maintenance, change the blades. Battery life Battery life will vary according to the frequency and length of use. If the batteries are charged 3 times a month, the service life will be approximately 3 years.It is recommended that the clipper be recharged at least every 6 months even when not in regular use because the charge will drain from the batteries and their service life may be shortened. ►

Cut hair to the correct height by

moving the clipper back against the

flow of the hair. • Do not use the clipper in an inverted position. This can cut hair too deeply. Trimming with no attachments Cutting without an attachment will trim hair length to 1 mm or less. 1. Cut hair by placing the clipper head

directly on the scalp.

AC operation If you connect the AC adaptor to the clipper in the same way as for charging, and set the switch to “1”, you can use it even if the battery capacity is low.If the clipper does not operate, set the switch to “0•CHARGE”, wait about 1 minute and then set it back to “1”.Be careful not to discharge the battery completely with the switch left in “1”. It results in shortening the battery life. ►
