◗Only use the powerplug supplied.
◗Keep the appliance out of the reach of children.
ENGLISH6
◗Charge, use and store the appliance at a temperature between
15cC and 35cC.
◗This appliance is only designed for trimming the human beard.
Do not use the appliance for any other purpose.
◗Do not use the appliance if the cutting unit is damaged or
broken, as this may cause injury.
◗If the powerplug is damaged, always have it replaced by one of
the original type in order to avoid a hazard.
◗If the appliance is subjected to a major change in temperature,
pressure or humidity, let the appliance acclimatise for 30 minutes
before you use it.
Charging
Do not charge the appliance for more than 24 hours.
Charge the appliance for 10 hours before using it for the first time or
after a long period of disuse.
Make sure the appliance is switched off before you start charging it.
The appliance cannot be run directly from the mains.
1Insert the appliance plug into the appliance and put the
powerplug in the wall socket.
Fully charging the appliance takes approx. 10 hours.
Charge the appliance at least 90 minutes for a single trimming session.
Battery indications
◗The charging light will go on to indicate that the appliance is

Preparing for use
Always comb your beard or moustache with a fine comb before you
start trimming.

Using the appliance
Absorbing cut hairs
The suction system is activated automatically as soon as you switch the
appliance on. It absorbs cut hairs during every kind of use, i.e. trimming
with and without comb attachment and contouring. The flexible hair
guide follows the contours of the face and directs cut hairs towards the
nozzle of the vacuum mechanism.
We advise you to empty the hair-collection chamber after each
trimming session. When trimming long, dense beards it may also be
necessary to empty the hair-collection chamber during the trimming
session in order to maintain optimal suction performance (see chapter
'Cleaning', section 'Hair-collection chamber').
BTo ensure optimal functioning of the vacuum system, do not cut off
more than approx. 7mm of your overall beard length at a time. If you
want to cut your beard shorter, repeat the process one or more times.

If you are trimming for the first time, start with the maximum hair

3To trim in the most effective way, move the trimmer against the
direction of hair growth. Do not move the trimmer too fast.
Make smooth and gentle movements and make sure the surface
of the comb attachment always stays in contact with the skin
(fig. 5).
4Switch the appliance off
Trimming at the unique 'stubble look' setting
◗Use the trimmer with the comb attachment set to hair length
setting 1. This allows you to create a 'stubble look' (fig. 6).

Use the trimmer without comb attachment to trim full beards and
single hairs.
1Remove the comb attachment (fig. 7).
BNever pull at the flexible top of the comb attachment. Always pull at
the bottom part.

the trimmer.

waste at the end of its life, but hand it in at an official collection

the environment. Always remove the battery before discarding the
appliance and handing it in at an official collection point. Dispose of the
