How to use

1) Set the switch to "0", and plug the cord into the clipper body. (Fig.1) 2) Plug the AC adaptor into an AC outlet. The charging indicator lamp will light up. (Fig.2) 3) When charging is completed, unplug the AC adaptor from the AC outlet. The charging time is 8 hours; one full charge will provide approximately 30 minutes of continuous operation.

1) Connect the AC adaptor to the body in the same way as for charging, and set the switch to "1" to use the clipper. 2) If the AC adaptor is connected while the switch is in the "1" position, the clipper may not operate. If this occurs, set the switch to the "0" position, wait about 1 minute, and then set it back to the "1" position. 3) Be sure to set the switch to "0" when finished using the clipper. If the switch is left in the "1" position, the rechargeable battery will become completely discharged, shortening the life of the battery.

<3/6mm, 9/12mm comb attachments>

1) The cutting heights are indicated on the insides and sides of the

attachments, so be sure to look for the height indication in order to mount the attachment correctly for the desired cutting height. 2) To mount the comb attachment to the clipper, place one side of the hooks of the comb attachment into the attachment mounting Ⓑ, then slide the other side to another mounting Ⓒ in the direction indicated with the arrow. (Fig.3) 3) To remove the comb attachment from the clipper, slide one side of the attachment off the mounting Ⓑ in the direction indicated with the arrow. (Fig.4)

1) Hold the clipper body with the "Panasonic" mark facing upward and push the blade with your thumb in the direction indicated by the arrow. When doing this, catch the blade in your other hand. Be sure the switch is set to "0" before attempting to remove the blade.

Life of the blade and battery

1) Although the blade life will vary in accordance with the frequency and conditions of use, when used for five haircuts (each lasting 12 minutes) a day, it should normally be possible to use the blade for approximately three months. However, in order to maintain the cutting performance of the blade, it is important to apply the oil before and after each use.

2) If the cutting performance of the blade deteriorates and cannot be restored by cleaning or applying the oil, it indicates that the blade has exceeded its useful life, and that it is time to replace it.

Although the battery life will vary in accordance with the frequency and conditions of use, when charged every day, it should normally be possible to use the battery for approximately 1 year. If the rechargeable battery is not charged for longer than 6 months, it will self-discharge, resulting in a shortening of its life. Therefore, even if the clipper is not being used, be sure to recharge the battery at least once every 6 months. If the clipper can be operated for only about 10 minutes after it has been correctly recharged for 8 hours, it indicates that the battery has exceeded its useful life and that it is time to replace it.

Blade Maintenance

1) Use the cleaning brush to brush off the cut hairs from the clipper body and from around the blade. (Fig.8) 2) Remove the blade and brush off the cut hairs from the blade edge. 3) Brush the cut hairs out from between the fixed blade and the moving blade. Press down on the lever for cleaning in order to raise the moving blade, and brush the cut hairs out from between the blades. (Fig.9) 4) Apply a few drops of the oil to the points indicated by the arrows. (Fig.10) 5) Remount the blade on the clipper body.
