Using the Appliance

The hair clipper allows for precise hair cutting with adjustable lengths.

Hair Length Settings

The trimming comb offers 12 length settings from 1 mm to 23 mm. The comb cuts hair to the selected length. When the comb is removed, the cutting unit trims hair to approximately 0.5 mm.

Tip: For the first use, start with the longest setting (23 mm) and gradually reduce the length to achieve your desired style.

Switching the Appliance On and Off

Note: The appliance can only be used when connected to the wall socket.

1. Ensure the appliance is switched OFF.
2. Connect the small plug of the supply unit to the appliance's power connector receptacle and plug the supply unit into the wall socket.
3. Push the on/off slide upwards to switch the appliance ON. ▶️
4. Push the on/off slide downwards to switch the appliance OFF. ⏹️

Trimming with the Trimming Comb

1. Attach the trimming comb to the appliance until it clicks into place.
2. Slide the length setting adjustment slide to your desired length setting (indicated on the comb and the appliance).
3. Switch on the appliance.
4. Move the appliance slowly and with light pressure against the direction of hair growth for an even cut.
5. Ensure the flat part of the comb stays in contact with the skin for a uniform result.

Tip: To avoid leaving uncut hair, overlap the sections you are cutting.

Note: Hair growth direction can vary on the head. Adjust the cutting direction (up, down, left, right) accordingly.

Trimming Without the Comb

Use the trimmer without the comb for very short cuts (approx. 0.5 mm) or to contour the neckline and sideburns.

Caution: Be careful when trimming without a comb, as the cutting unit removes all hair it touches.

1. Pull the comb off the appliance.
2. Switch on the appliance.
3. Touch the hair lightly with the trimmer, using controlled movements.

Neckline and Sideburn Trimming

• Neckline Trimming: Move the hair clipper downwards along the hairline, following the direction of hair growth.
• Sideburn Trimming: Determine the desired shape and length for your sideburns, then move the clipper downwards to cut. For detailed shaping, tilt the clipper and use only one edge of the blade to trim the tips of the hair.

Cleaning

Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and longevity of your hair clipper.

Warning: Never immerse the appliance in water or rinse it under the tap. Only the cutting element and comb can be cleaned with water.
