4.2 Trimming Hair and Beard

The HTC AT588 is suitable for trimming hair on various body parts, including the head, beard, armpits, back, chest, and legs.

1. Ensure your hair is clean and dry before trimming.
2. Attach the desired guide comb for the preferred hair length. For precise edging or very short cuts, the trimmer can be used without a comb.
3. Hold the trimmer with the blade flat against the skin or at a slight angle, depending on the desired cut.
4. Move the trimmer slowly and steadily against the direction of hair growth for an even cut.
5. For detailing, outlining, or shaving, use the trimmer without a guide comb, exercising caution around sensitive areas.

5. Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure optimal performance and extend the lifespan of your trimmer.

1. After Each Use: Turn off the trimmer and detach the guide comb. Use the provided cleaning brush to remove loose hairs from the blade and the trimmer body.
2. Blade Cleaning: For a more thorough clean, the blade head can often be carefully removed (refer to specific instructions if provided, otherwise proceed with caution). Rinse the blade head under running water. Ensure it is completely dry before reattaching. Do not submerge the main body of the trimmer in water.
3. Lubrication: Periodically apply a small drop of clipper oil (not included) to the blades to maintain smooth operation and prevent rust. Turn the trimmer on for a few seconds to distribute the oil.
