2.2 Charging the Trimmer
- Ensure the trimmer is switched off.
- Connect the charging cable to the trimmer and plug the adapter into a suitable power outlet.

2.3 Attaching Combs and Blades
The trimmer comes with 7 combs and 3 dedicated beard accessories. To attach a comb, align it with the trimmer head and gently push until it clicks into place. To remove, pull the comb away from the trimmer head. For precise shaving, the smooth blade can be used without a comb.
3. Operating Instructions
3.1 Basic Operation
- Charge the trimmer: Ensure the device has sufficient battery life.
- Select the desired comb or smooth blade: Choose the appropriate attachment based on your desired hair or beard length. The 5 combs (1-3-5-6mm) are suitable for short beards.
- Turn on the trimmer: Press the power button located on the device.
- Trim beard or hair as needed: Guide the trimmer against the direction of hair growth for an even cut. For beard trimming, the precision trimmer ensures 0mm details on cheeks and neck.

3.2 Trimming Beard
For beard trimming, select one of the dedicated beard combs. Start with a longer setting and gradually reduce the length until the desired style is achieved. Use the smooth blade for precise lines and detailing around the edges of your beard.
