Taking Care of Your Trimmer
Oiling the Blades
About once a month you should oil the trim- mer blade. It is best to do this over a piece of newspaper. Turn the trimmer on and hold it so that the blades are pointed downward. Spread one drop of oil across the blades, then turn the trimmer off and wipe away the excess oil with a soft cloth.
Be careful not to use too much oil and don’t oil your trimmer more than necessary, as this could damage the motor. (Never attempt to oil the motor bearing, as it is permanently lubri- cated.) KEEP OIL OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
on/off switch
To operate, simply push slide toward blade; to stop, push slide away from blade.
Battery Position
On/Off Switch
*Requires 2 AA batteries (not included). We recommend using alkaline batteries in your trimmer because they last longer.
Blade Care
Because the trimmer blades are precision-made for a very special use, they should always be handled with care. Each time you finish using the trimmer, take a cleaning brush and brush away any loose hair that has collected in the blades. Then store the trimmer to protect the blades until the next use.
Be especially careful when changing or adjusting blades. When you have your trimmer serviced, be sure that both blades are sharpened or replaced at the same time.
To promote the long life of the appliance, use your trimmer only for the purpose intended by the manufacturer – to trim your beard and mustache.
Removing blade set
This trimmer comes with a detachable blade set; which makes maintenance easy.
To remove the blade set:
• Make sure the trimmer is in the off position
•With the power switch facing you, press the blade on the teeth and in direction away from you until they pop out of the housing
To replace the blade set
•Looking at the trimmer from above you will see a notch at the back of the trimmer.
•There is a tab on the blade set on the bottom, opposite the blades
Position that tab so that it fits into the notch inside the trimmer head
Push the blade set down onto the trimmer head until it snaps into place.
Growing a Beard and Mustache
There are three key factors that will determine which beard or mustache style is best for you:
1.The shape and dimensions of your face.
2.The natural growth of your beard/mustache.
3.The thickness of your beard/mustache. If you are unsure about the type of beard or mustache that would most suit your face, speak with a professional hair stylist and ask for an opinion on what style would be best. Once your beard or mustache has been styled, it is essential that you maintain its appear- ance. To do this, use your trimmer to trim your beard/mustache weekly.
For the best trimming results, your beard
should be slightly damp (NOT WET) when using your trimmer. This will prevent the trim- mer from removing more hair than desired.
Types of Beards/Mustaches
Getting Started:
Outlining Your Beard
1. It is always best to begin with a clean, slightly damp beard.
2.After you have combed through your beard in the direction it grows naturally, you will want to outline the desired shape, beginning under your jawline.
3.Begin defining your beard’s shape under your chin and work upward on each side of your face toward your ears. Then define the upper outline of your beard across your cheeks, past your sideburns, and toward your hairline.
Now You’re Ready to Trim
Your Beard
1.Your trimmer adjusts to five positions so you can have a beard length from 1/8" (shortest) to 5/8" (longest).
2.To use the 5-position comb, slide the unit over the trimmer blades and snap it down into position. At first, until you become familiar with the adjustments, use the longest trim setting (5/8"). (You can always go back and make your beard a little shorter.)
3. Begin trimming your beard using smooth, even strokes. Start with
your sideburns and work downward toward your
chin. (Never attempt to trim against the natural growth of your beard because the hair will be cut too short.)
4.If you decide you want a closer trim, you can now adjust the 5-position comb attach- ment to a shorter setting (such as 1/2" or 3/8") and go over your beard again until you achieve the desired length.
Blending the Jawline
1.The three jawline attachments will help you to achieve a neat, finished trim under your chin. To use one of the attachments, press it down over the trimmer blades until it clicks into position.
2.Hold the trimmer in an upright position and begin trimming under your jawline, using short, even strokes.
