Use

Fitting a comb attachment

The trimmer is supplied with 2 comb attachments that are used to trim the hair to one of 4 different lengths:

• Comb 1 is used to trim hair to a length of 3mm and 6mm .
• Comb 2 is used to trim hair to a length of 9mm and 12mm .

Using the trimmer without a comb attachment will cut off virtually all the hair.

1. Slide one of the comb attachments over the head of the trimmer's fixed cutting comb (see Figure 3). Press the comb attachment into place, and click the base of the attachment over the fixed cutting comb.

Figure 3 Fitting comb attachments

Note We recommend that you use the largest comb attachment when becoming familiar with the appliance. You can always switch to a smaller comb attachment if you think that your hair is still too long.

Cutting

1. Fit the required comb attachment to the trimmer. You can also use the trimmer without a comb attachment; you can then cut your hair to any required length.
2. Switch on the trimmer by setting the On/Off switch to 1 (On).
3. Start cutting your hair. Move the trimmer at an angle to your skin to remove unwanted hairs.
4. After use, switch off the appliance by setting the On/Off switch to 0 (Off).

Neck

1. Fit the required comb attachment, for example comb 1 (3 mm or 6 mm).
2. Keep the cutting comb face upwards, and trim the hair in your neck from the bottom.
3. Trim the hair in successive widths, and from bottom to top.
4. Move the trimmer slowly so that the cutting comb trims all the hair. Slow trimming gives the best result.

Back of the head

1. Fit the required comb attachment, for example comb 2 (9 mm or 12 mm).
2. Trim the hair on the back of the head by slowly moving the trimmer from the bottom to the top, against the direction of growth.

Sides

1. Fit the required comb attachment, for example comb 1 (3 mm or 6 mm) and trim the hair on the temples.
2. Use a short comb attachment for sideburns. Move the trimmer from top to bottom, with the cutting comb facing downwards.

Top of the head (crown)

1. Fit a large comb attachment, for example comb 2 (9 mm or 12 mm). Obviously you can always use a smaller comb attachment if you require shorter hair.
2. Trim the top of the head by moving the trimmer from the back to the front, against the direction of growth.
3. When the hair on the top of the head is very long you can use the comb to lift the hair whilst you use the trimmer to trim the hair above the comb.

Finishing

1. Using the trimmer without a comb attachment will enable you to obtain a clean edge at the base of the neck.

Thin out

1. Fit the thin out attachment to the trimmer
2. Switch on the trimmer by setting the On/Off switch to 1 (On).
3. Start cutting your hair. Move the trimmer at an angle to your skin to remove unwanted hairs.
4. After use, switch off the appliance by setting the On/Off switch to 0 (Off).

Tips

• Washing and drying your hair and then combing it thoroughly will make it more supple when you trim it.
• Comb your hair before and regularly during trimming to make sure it remains in the required model.
• Do not move the trimmer too quickly; allow the cutting comb to pass through the hair without using force. Comb your hair regularly during trimming to check that it has been trimmed evenly.
  Use the cape to protect your clothing.

Cleaning and maintenance

Clean the trimmer thoroughly after each use.

1. Remove the comb attachment, where relevant, from the trimmer so that you can clean the appliance thoroughly.

Figure 4 Remove trimming head

1. Press the trimming head's cutter downwards firmly with your thumbs (see figure 4). The trimmer head will now be released from the appliance.
2. Use the brush to remove hairs from the trimmer head and from the cavity in the appliance.
3. Fit the trimmer head back onto the appliance.
4. Clean the appliance with a clean damp cloth.
5. Lubricate the cutting comb with a few drops of oil supplied with the appliance.
