Operating Instructions
General Usage Tips:
- For easier hair trimming, it is recommended to groom after a shower.
- After drying your beard, comb it thoroughly to detangle any knots.
- The styler is waterproof and can be used wet or dry, including in the shower.
Trimming Beard or Body Hair:
- Ensure the appropriate comb attachment is securely in place.
- Turn on the trimmer.
- Begin trimming your facial or body hair using the longest comb first. Adjust to a shorter comb if a closer trim is desired.
- Move the trimmer across the desired area, following the contours of your face or body.
- Rinse the trimmer periodically during use to prevent hair buildup and ensure efficient cutting.
Shaving and Precision Edging:
- For a close shave, apply shaving gel or foam to the area.
- Use the ProGlide blade cartridge attached to the styler. Shave both with and against the grain for optimal closeness.
- For precise edging and defining beard lines (e.g., neck, upper lip, sideburns), use the precision trimmer blade.
- After cleaning your skin, check for symmetry in your beard shape.
- If you have a mustache, comb it before leveling, then use mustache scissors for finishing touches.

Maintenance
- Cleaning: After each use, rinse the trimmer head and comb attachments thoroughly under running water to remove hair and product residue. The styler is fully washable.
- Drying: Allow the trimmer and attachments to air dry completely before storing. Do not use a cloth to dry the blades as this may damage them.
- Storage: Store the styler and its accessories in a clean, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Blade Replacement: Replace the ProGlide blade cartridge when it becomes dull or uncomfortable to use. The styler is compatible with Gillette SkinGuard Sensitive, Fusion5, ProGlide, and ProShield blades.
