5. Operating the Trimmer
- Power On/Off: Press the power button (orange circle) to turn the trimmer on or off.
- Adjusting Speed (RPM): Use the '+' and '-' buttons to adjust the motor's RPM (Revolutions Per Minute). The trimmer offers 5 speed settings, ranging from 5000 RPM to 7000 RPM. Higher RPM provides a faster, more powerful cut, while lower RPM is suitable for sensitive areas or finer hair. The digital display will show the current RPM.
- Micro-Adjuster Setting: For precise length control, especially for fading and blending, use the micro-adjuster slider located above the power button. This moves the clipper blade up or down relative to the ceramic blade, allowing for fine adjustments between 1mm and 1.9mm.
- Trimming: Gently guide the trimmer against the direction of hair growth. For best results, ensure hair is clean and dry.
- Travel Lock: To activate the travel lock, press and hold the power button for 3 seconds until the lock icon appears on the display. To unlock, repeat the process.

6. Maintenance
- Cleaning the Blades: After each use, turn off the trimmer and remove any attached guards. Use the provided cleaning brush to remove loose hairs from the blades and the trimmer body. For a more thorough clean, the ceramic blade can be detached and rinsed under water. Ensure the blade is completely dry before reattaching.
- Blade Lubrication: Periodically apply a small amount of clipper oil (not included) to the blades to maintain optimal performance and longevity.
- Storage: Store the trimmer and its accessories in a dry, cool place. Use the charging dock for convenient storage and to ensure the trimmer is always charged.
7. Troubleshooting
- Trimmer not turning on: Ensure the trimmer is fully charged. If the battery is low, place it on the charging dock. Check if the travel lock is activated (indicated by a lock icon on the display); if so, press and hold the power button for 3 seconds to unlock.
- Poor cutting performance / pulling hair: Clean the blades thoroughly to remove any trapped hair or debris. Lubricate the blades with clipper oil. Ensure the correct guard is properly attached. If issues persist, the blade may need replacement.
- Difficulty navigating controls: Familiarize yourself with the power, speed adjustment, and micro-adjuster buttons. Practice using them without the trimmer running to get accustomed to their functions.
