Optimizing the lifetime of the rechargeable battery

When you have charged the appliance for the first time, we advise you to use it until the battery is completely empty. Continue to use the appliance until the motor almost stops running during a session. Then recharge the battery. Follow this procedure at least twice a year.

Using the appliance

Note: Switch off and clean the appliance and attachments after each use.

• Always comb your beard and/or moustache with a fine comb before you start trimming.

Be careful when you trim for the first time. Do not move the trimmer too fast. Make smooth and gentle movements.

Switching the appliance on and off

• Press the on/off button once to switch the appliance on or off.

Trimming with comb

Note: When you trim for the first time, start at the highest length setting to familiarize yourself with the appliance.

Use the trimming comb attached to the cutting element to trim your beard and moustache in your preferred style. Turn the zoom wheel to choose from length settings ranging from 0.5mm to 10mm (1/32in. to 13/32in.). With the long beard comb you can choose from length settings ranging from 11mm to 20mm (BT3236 BT3237).

1 Slide the trimming comb straight into the guiding groove of the appliance.

2 Turn the zoom wheel to the desired setting. The desired hair length setting is shown in the center of the zoom wheel.

3 Switch the appliance on.
4 To trim most effectively, move the product against the hair growth direction. Make sure that the surface of the comb always stays in contact with the skin.

Since all hairs do not grow in the same direction, you may want to try different trimming positions (i.e. upwards, downwards, or across). Practice is best for optimum results.

5 Regularly remove cut hair from the comb. If a lot of hair has accumulated in the comb, remove it from the appliance and blow and/or shake out the hairs. The selected hair length setting does not change when the comb is removed.
