8. Maintenance and Care
8.1. Cleaning
- After each use, turn off the trimmer and remove any attached guide comb.
- Use the provided cleaning brush to brush away loose hairs from the blade and trimmer body.
- The blade head can be rinsed under running water. Ensure the main body of the trimmer does not get wet.
- Allow the blade head to air dry completely before reattaching the tool head cover or storing.
8.2. Lubrication
Regular lubrication of the blades is crucial for optimal performance and longevity. Apply a few drops of light machine oil (not included due to shipping restrictions) to the blades after every few uses or after rinsing. Turn the trimmer on for a few seconds to distribute the oil.
8.3. Storage
Store the trimmer in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep the tool head cover on the blade to protect it from damage.
9. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Trimmer does not turn on | Battery is low or depleted | Charge the trimmer fully. Check the LED display for battery level. |
| Poor cutting performance / pulling hair | Blades are dull, dirty, or not lubricated | Clean the blades thoroughly with the brush. Apply a few drops of light machine oil to the blades. If blades are dull, consider replacement. |
| Trimmer overheats | Prolonged use or motor strain | Turn off the trimmer and allow it to cool down for a few minutes before resuming use. Ensure blades are clean and lubricated. |
| Unusual noise during operation | Hair caught in blades or lack of lubrication | Clean the blades and lubricate them. If the issue persists, contact customer support. |
10. User Tips
- Always start with a longer guide comb than you think you need, and gradually reduce the length if necessary.
- For best results, trim hair when it's clean and detangled.
- Clean and lubricate the blades regularly to maintain sharpness and prevent hair pulling.
- The LED display is very useful for monitoring battery life, so keep an eye on it to avoid unexpected power loss during a trim.
