- After Each Use:
- Turn off the trimmer.

- Always trim longer hair down to a shorter length with a guide comb before attempting a close shave with the foil head. This prevents pulling and ensures a more comfortable experience.
- Clean the trimmer head and blades after every use to prevent hair buildup, which can affect performance and battery life.
- Store the trimmer with its protective cap (if included) to protect the blades when not in use.
- If using for body grooming, consider trimming in sections to ensure thorough coverage and prevent missed spots.
