Setup

Charging the Trimmer

Before first use, or when the battery is low, charge your trimmer:

1. Connect the USB charging cable to the trimmer and to a suitable USB power adapter (not included) or a USB port.
2. Charge the trimmer for approximately 1 hour for a full charge. A full charge provides up to 60 minutes of cordless use.
3. For a quick trim, a 5-minute quick charge can provide enough power for one trimming session.
4. The charging indicator light on the trimmer will show the charging status.

Operating Instructions

Attaching and Adjusting the Comb

1. Ensure the trimmer is switched off.
2. Align the adjustable comb with the trimmer head and push it on until it clicks into place.
3. To select your desired hair length, rotate the zoom wheel on the trimmer handle. The trimmer offers 20 integrated length settings, ranging from 0.5 mm to 10 mm, with precision steps of 0.5 mm.

Trimming Your Beard

1. Ensure your beard is clean and dry before trimming.
2. Switch on the trimmer by pressing the power button.
3. Place the flat top of the comb against your skin and move the trimmer slowly against the direction of hair growth. The unique Lift & Trim system guides hairs to the blades for an even trim.
4. For detailing or precise lines, you may remove the comb attachment and use the trimmer blades directly.
5. Switch off the trimmer after use.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your trimmer.

1. After each use: Switch off the trimmer and detach the comb attachment.
2. Rinse attachments: Rinse the comb attachment under running tap water.
3. Clean blades: Use the provided cleaning brush to remove any loose hairs from the trimmer blades. You may also carefully rinse the blades under running water, ensuring no water enters the main body of the trimmer.
4. Dry thoroughly: Allow all parts to air dry completely before reattaching the comb or storing the trimmer.
5. Lubrication: The blades are designed to be self-sharpening and generally do not require lubrication. If you notice reduced performance, consult Philips customer support.

Troubleshooting

• Trimmer does not turn on: Ensure the trimmer is fully charged. Connect it to the charger and wait for the charging indicator to show sufficient charge.
• Poor trimming performance: Clean the blades and comb attachment thoroughly to remove any trapped hairs. Ensure the comb is correctly attached. If the issue persists, the blades may be worn and require replacement (contact customer support).
• Battery not holding charge: Ensure the charging cable and adapter are working correctly. If the battery life has significantly decreased, it may be reaching the end of its lifespan.
