Operating Instructions
Basic Operation:
- Before trimming, ensure hair is clean and dry.
- Attach the desired guide comb (refer to "Attaching Guide Combs" section). For closest cut, use without a guide comb.
- Turn on the trimmer using the On/Off switch.
- Hold the trimmer with the blade flat against the skin and move it slowly against the direction of hair growth.
- For beard trimming, start with a longer comb and gradually reduce the length if desired.
- After use, turn off the trimmer and clean it as per the maintenance instructions.
Using the Taper Lever:
The taper lever, located on the side of the trimmer, allows for fine adjustment of the cutting length without changing guide combs. This is ideal for blending and fading.
- Move the lever upwards for a shorter cut.
- Move the lever downwards for a longer cut.
- Experiment with the lever positions to achieve the desired blending effect.
