■The BKT-1000 is for dry use only. Avoid using lotions before trimming.

Trimming

■Use the Thumb Wheel to set the trimmer comb to the desired length setting.It’s a good idea to begin trimming at one of the longest settings (4 or 5) to avoid accidentally trimming hair too short.As you become familiar with the settings, you can then select your desired length setting.

■Turn the unit on.

■Place the flat top of the trimmer comb against the skin.

■Slowly slide the trimmer through hair. Repeat from different directions as necessary.

■If hair builds up in the trimmer comb during the trimming process,shut the unit off,pull off the adjustable trimmer comb and brush it off.

■For an even closer look and precise shaping,remove the adjustable trimmer comb and trim the hairs along the outer edge.

■When you are finished,turn the trimmer off, clean it,and return it to its storage pouch.

!Never use trimmer with damaged or broken cutter units.

?If the cutters do not move:

The cutting unit may be dirty and clogged.Clean and lubricate the unit as described on the next page.

■Only the adjustable trimmer comb and cutter assembly may be removed from the trimmers for cleaning.

■Cleaning should only be done with a soft brush,such as the brush supplied with the units.

■Do not use harsh or corrosive cleaners on the units or their cutters.

■Do not apply pressure or hard objects to cutters.

■Do not disassemble cutter set.

Oiling the Blades

Your trimmer is fitted with high-quality stainless steel cutting blades,which will remain permanently lubricated in a dry environment. Your BKT-1000 will never need oiling.

If you use your BKT-2000 in the sho w- er or rinse it under running water, you will periodically need to add a drop of oil to the cutting blades to keep them operating at peak performance.Simply remove the adjustable trimmer comb and place a drop of oil on the teeth of the cutter assembly.

Oil cautions

■Use only the light-grade oil supplied or a suitable alternative like sewing machine oil—these oils will not evaporate and will not slow down the blades.

■Do not use hair oil,grease,or any oil mixed with kerosene or solvent, as the solvent will evaporate and leave the thick oil,slowing the blades.
