The runtime is approximately 50 minutes in dry use at room temperature (20-30°C).

Can I use the trimmer while charging?

Yes, you can use the trimmer plugged into the mains (AC operation) even if the battery is low, but it is recommended to charge for at least 1 minute first.

How to clean the trimmer blade?

After each use, remove the blade and rinse it under running water. Use the provided brush to remove hairs. Dry thoroughly before reassembling. Apply one drop of oil to the blades before and after use.

When should the blade be replaced?

Notes

To keep charging the battery will not affect battery performance.
- If there is noise from the radio or other sources while using or charging the product, move to a different location to use the product.
- When the appliance is not used for 6 months or more, the battery will weaken (leak battery fluid, etc.). Fully charge the battery once every 6 months.
- You can charge the battery before it is completely discharged. However, it is recommended to charge when the battery is completely discharged. The battery life depends strongly on factors such as how it is used and stored.

Recommended ambient temperature for charging is 0 - 35^ Battery performance may decrease or charging time changes under extremely low or high temperatures.
- A full charge supplies enough power for approximately 50 minutes of use. (Based on dry using at 20 - 30^ .) The operating time may differ depending on the frequency of use.
- When charging the appliance for the first time or when it has not been in use for more than 6 months, the charging time may change or the charge status lamp may not glow for a few minutes or the operating time may shorten. Please charge it for more than 8 hours in such cases.

AC operation

If you connect the AC adaptor to the appliance in the same way as for charging, and turn on the power, you can use it.
