Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Trimmer does not turn on. | Battery is depleted. | Charge the trimmer for at least 1 hour, or until fully charged. |
| Trimmer is not cutting effectively. | Blades are clogged with hair or dull. | Clean the blades and trimming head thoroughly. Ensure no hair is trapped. While blades are self-sharpening, excessive build-up can hinder performance. |
| Skin irritation after use. | Incorrect technique or sensitive skin. | Ensure you are trimming against the direction of hair growth. Use a lighter touch. If irritation persists, consult a dermatologist. |
