Operating Instructions
1. Using the Detail Trimmer
- Attach the detail trimmer head to the main unit.
- For a close trim, use the detail trimmer without any comb attachment. Gently press the blade against the skin and move the trimmer in the direction opposite to hair growth.
- For longer lengths, attach the adjustable 4-position comb. Slide the comb to select one of the 5 length settings (1mm to 4mm).
- Move the trimmer slowly against the direction of hair growth, ensuring the comb remains flat against the skin.
- Ideal for shaping beards, mustaches, sideburns, and cleaning up necklines.
2. Using the Linear Trimmer (Nose & Ear)
- Attach the linear nose and ear trimmer head to the main unit.
- For Nose Hair: Gently insert the trimmer tip into the nostril. Move the trimmer in a circular motion to trim visible hairs. Do not insert too deeply.
- For Ear Hair: Carefully guide the trimmer around the outer ear and into the ear canal opening to trim visible hairs. Do not insert too deeply into the ear canal.
- For Eyebrows: Use the trimmer to carefully shape and trim stray eyebrow hairs.
Maintenance
1. Cleaning
- Always turn off the trimmer before cleaning.
- The trimmer heads are rinsable. Detach the head from the main unit and rinse it under running water to remove hair clippings.
- Do not rinse the main body of the trimmer, as it is not waterproof.
- Allow the trimmer head to air dry completely before reattaching or storing.
- Periodically, use a small brush (not included) to remove stubborn hair from the blades.
2. Storage
- Store the trimmer and its attachments in the provided storage pouch when not in use.
- Ensure the trimmer is clean and dry before storing.
- If storing for an extended period, remove the AA battery to prevent leakage.
