8. Maintenance and Care
8.1 Cleaning the Trimmer
- Ensure the trimmer is switched off and disconnected from the charging cable before cleaning.
- Remove the trimmer head.
- Use the provided cleaning brush to remove any hair clippings from the blades and the trimmer body.
- Do not rinse the trimmer body under water. The trimmer heads may be rinsed under running water, but ensure they are completely dry before reattaching.
8.2 Blade Lubrication
The trimmer blades come with a prior lubricant coating. With usage, this lubricant may dry up, potentially causing increased friction and heating. It is recommended to use a small amount of coconut oil to lubricate the underside of the blade if required. Apply a drop or two to the blades after cleaning and before storage.
8.3 Storage
Store the trimmer and its attachments in the dedicated grooming station in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture, when not in use.
9. Troubleshooting
- Trimmer not turning on: Ensure the battery is charged. Connect to the charger and wait a few minutes before attempting to turn it on.
- Reduced performance or pulling hair: The blades may be dull or require lubrication. Clean the blades thoroughly and apply a drop of lubricating oil. If the issue persists, consider replacing the blade head if possible.
- Short battery runtime: Ensure the trimmer is fully charged. Battery performance may decrease over time with prolonged use.
- Overheating: Clean the blades and ensure they are properly lubricated. Excessive friction can cause heat. If overheating persists, discontinue use and contact customer support.
