• Do not use your unit if it is not working properly. Do not try to repair this electrical unit yourself, rather contact an authorized technician. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.

• When the appliance is used in a bathroom, unplug it after use since the proximity of water presents a hazard even when the appliance is switched off.

• Do not leave the appliance on charge in wet places and do not recharge the appliance when it is wet.

• The appliance comes equipped with a NiMH battery. To help protect the environment, the batteries should not be included with ordinary domestic waste, but should be taken to a special collection point instead.

• Have the battery removed by qualified technical personnel or by the treatment and recycling centre.

• Do not expose the battery to liquid, moisture or high humidity.

• Keep the battery away from magnetic fields, sources of heat and naked flames.

• When using the head for trimming nose and ear hair, do not push the unit hard into the nose or ears. Only the metal tip of the head should be inserted delicately into the nose and ear cavities.

• Risk of scratches or cuts. If there is any damage to a comb, set of blades or the nose and ear hair trimmer, do not use them: replace them immediately, since they could cause injury to the skin, nose or ears.

RECHARGING THE BATTERY

• Before using the appliance for the first time, charge the battery for 24 hours. For subsequent charges, allow the appliance to charge for at least 12 hours.

• Switch the appliance off using the switch (fig.1 - ref.3). The battery can only be charged with the appliance switched off.

• Connect the transformer (fig.1 - ref.9) by inserting the plug into the appliance socket (fig.1 - ref.5). Or connect the transformer to the base (fig.1 - ref.6) by inserting the plug into the base plug (fig.1 - ref.5), and rest the appliance on the contact (fig. 1 - ref.7).

• Plug the transformer into the mains.

• The charge light (fig.1 - ref. 4) turns red while the appliance is charging and reverts to green when charging is complete.

• When the battery is fully charged, the appliance can be used for approximately 50 minutes without connection to the mains.

• In order to optimise the lifetime of the battery, never charge the appliance for more than 24 hours.

• Discharge the battery completely every few months, then recharge it again. This optimises the lifetime of the battery.

ADJUSTABLE GUIDE COMBS

The appliance is supplied with two hair/beard and moustache trimming combs, which can be adjusted to offer different cutting lengths: from 2 to 8 mm and from 10 to 16 mm. To adjust the guide comb, press the adjustment button (fig.1 ref.16) and slide the comb in or out until it reaches the desired cutting length, as illustrated in fig. 2. The various positions can be seen on the comb setting indicator (fig.1 ref.17). The comb attachment can be removed by lifting the tab at the rear (fig.3); in this case the cutting length is 1 mm. To refit the comb attachment, slot the front in first (fig.4 - A), then press down on the rear (B). The appliance is also supplied with an adjustable comb for body hair, with three different cutting lengths: 2, 5 or 9 mm. For cutting length adjustment guidelines, see fig.5.

FITTING AND REMOVING THE HEAD

Please refer to fig.6 when removing the head. For instructions on re-fitting the appliance head, see fig.7.

The appliance is supplied with 5 heads.

• Hair cutting head (fig.1 ref.2) - For trimming hair, can either be used alone or in conjunction with the relevant combs (fig.1 ref.15).

• Body hair head (fig.1 ref.10) - For trimming body hair, can either be used alone or in conjunction with the relevant comb (fig.1 ref.14).

• Nose and ear hair head (fig.1 ref.11) - For removing unwanted hair from these areas.

• Beard and moustache head (fig.1 ref.12) - For tidying beards, can either be used on its own or in conjunction with the relevant combs (fig.1 ref.15).

• Shaver head (fig.1 ref.13) - With fine stainless steel foil for supreme hygiene and narrow design for easier shaving. STYLING TIPS SHORT STYLES

• We recommend starting with the longest cutting length and subsequently adjusting to a shorter length, if desired.

• Cut hair while dry, using short strokes and progressing slowly.

• Comb the hair as you proceed in order to remove cut hair and check the results.

• NECK: Starting from the midpoint of the bottom of the neck work upwards using short strokes towards the middle of the head (fig. 8), gradually working outwards to the sides.

• SIDES: We recommend using a shorter cutting length, using the same method as for the neck area. To finish sideburns and the area around the ears, use the appliance without a guide comb, holding it turned downwards.

• TOP: Use a longer cutting length. Start at the front and move backwards, towards the centre of the head. LONGER STYLES

• Use the same method, starting from the neck and working upwards, followed by the sides and then the top of the head.

• To adjust the cutting length, use the barber's comb (fig.9), or else your fingers to help (fig.10), using the appliance without a guide comb.

BEARD AND MOUSTACHE TRIMMING

• Decide on the kind of look you want to obtain, based on your face and the length of beard and moustache.

• When trimming beard and moustache, start off with the comb attachment adjusted to a high setting, and then move onto a shorter setting if so desired. A weekly trim will suffice to maintain the look.

• Define edges using the beard and moustache head (fig.1 ref.12), then use the shaver head (fig.1 ref.13) to finish.

• For best results, beard and moustache can be dampened (not wet), and brushed in the direction of growth.

• Proceed to trim, working upwards from the bottom, beginning at the jaw and moving towards the ears. 00060589 int_nov2014 26/11/2014 12.52 Pagina 89
