4. Operating Instructions

General Use

The BaBylissPRO FX787S is ideal for crispy edge-ups, hard lines, and all other detail work. Its exposed T-blade provides excellent visibility for precise trimming.

Blade Adjustment (Zero-Gapping)

For the closest possible cut, the trimmer can be zero-gapped. This process involves adjusting the fixed blade closer to the moving blade. Refer to the included zero-gap tool and instructions for detailed guidance. Exercise caution during adjustment to prevent skin irritation or cuts.

Techniques for Best Results

  • Edge-ups: Hold the trimmer at a slight angle against the skin and use light, controlled strokes to create sharp lines around the hairline, beard, or mustache.
  • Detail Work: Utilize the 360-degree exposed blade to navigate intricate areas, ensuring clear visibility for precise detailing.
  • Hard Lines: Apply gentle pressure and move the trimmer in a smooth, continuous motion to achieve defined lines.

Cleaning the Blades
