Setup

Charging the Trimmer

Before first use, fully charge the trimmer. The lithium-ion battery provides up to 2 hours of cordless runtime with approximately 3 hours of charging time.

1. Ensure the trimmer is switched off.
2. Place the trimmer securely into the charging station.
3. Connect the charging station to a suitable power outlet.
4. The charging indicator light will illuminate to show that the trimmer is charging.
5. Once fully charged, the indicator light may change or turn off depending on the model.

Attaching/Changing Blades and Comb Guides

The trimmer comes with two interchangeable Japanese stainless steel blades: a 30mm "U" blade for fine contours and a 40mm "T" blade for precise finishing. It also includes 6mm and 10mm comb guides.

1. To change a blade, ensure the trimmer is off. Gently push the current blade forward until it detaches.
2. Align the new blade (U or T) with the trimmer head and press it firmly into place until it clicks.
3. For "Zero Gap" adjustment, refer to the specific instructions provided with the blade adjustment tool (if included). This allows for extremely close cutting.

Operating Instructions

General Trimming

1. Ensure hair is clean and dry.
2. Select the appropriate blade (U or T) and comb guide (6mm or 10mm) for your desired length and style.
3. Turn on the trimmer using the power switch.
4. Hold the trimmer with the blade flat against the skin or at a slight angle, depending on the desired cut.
5. Move the trimmer slowly and steadily against the direction of hair growth.
6. For outlining and fine detailing, use the trimmer without a comb guide, utilizing the "Zero Gap" feature for precise lines.

Specific Uses

• Hair Trimming: Use comb guides for uniform length. For fades and tapers, use different comb guides or freehand techniques.
• Neck Cleaning: Use the "U" or "T" blade without a comb guide to create clean lines around the neckline.
• Beard Styling: Trim beard to desired length with a comb guide, then use the bare blade for sharp lines on cheeks and neck.
• Detailing and Design: The precision blades are ideal for intricate hair designs and patterns.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure optimal performance and extend the life of your trimmer.

1. After Each Use: Turn off and unplug the trimmer. Use the provided cleaning brush to remove any loose hairs from the blades and trimmer head.
2. Blade Oiling: Apply a few drops of the lubricating oil (provided) to the blades after every few uses, or as needed. Turn on the trimmer for a few seconds to allow the oil to distribute evenly. This helps maintain blade sharpness and smooth operation.
3. Deep Cleaning: Periodically remove the blade (as described in the Setup section) and thoroughly clean any accumulated hair from beneath the blade and inside the trimmer head.
4. Storage: Store the trimmer and its accessories in a dry, safe place, away from moisture and extreme temperatures.
