Ensure the trimmer is turned off before attaching or detaching any accessories.
- To Attach: Align the desired guide comb or trimmer head with the top of the trimmer unit and press firmly until it clicks into place.

4. Operating Instructions
4.1 General Operation
To turn the trimmer on or off, press the power button located on the front of the unit. The high-performance motor ensures consistent, smooth trimming.
4.2 Trimming Hair, Beard, and Body
Select the appropriate guide comb for your desired hair length. For a closer trim, use the trimmer without a guide comb. Always trim against the direction of hair growth for best results.
- Haircuts: Use larger guide combs for the top and sides, gradually reducing length for fades or shorter styles.
- Beard Shaping: Start with a longer comb and gradually reduce the length to achieve your desired beard style. Use the precision trimmer head for detailing edges.
- Body Grooming: Attach the body grooming head or use a suitable guide comb for sensitive areas.
