3. Trimming Technique
For best results, ensure your beard is clean and dry. Trim against the direction of hair growth, using smooth, even strokes. For detailing and outlining, remove the guide comb and use the bare blade.
Maintenance
1. Cleaning the Trimmer
The BaByliss T996E is 100% waterproof, allowing for easy cleaning. After each use, turn off the trimmer and rinse the blade head and guide combs under running water. For a more thorough clean, you can detach the blade head (refer to specific instructions in the full manual if available) and rinse it separately. Ensure all parts are dry before reassembling or storing.

2. Blade Care
Regularly oil the blades to maintain their sharpness and performance. Apply a small drop of lubricating oil (typically included with the product) to the blades after cleaning and before storage. Run the trimmer for a few seconds to distribute the oil.
