Trimming the Nape of Your Neck
■You will need a hand mirror for this operation if performing it alone.
The mirror is not necessary if trimming is performed by a second person.
■Before you begin, remove the hair length attachment, and make sure that the wide trimmer
blade is in position. If the narrow, nose and ear trimmer is up, press the button on the back of trimmer head to allow the pivoting head to swivel the wide trimmer (beard/neckline) to the up position.
■Use your fingers to lift the hair at the base of your
head up off the neck. Your index finger should be covering the roots of the hairs you are lifting to prevent accidental removal by groomer.
■Using your other hand, hold the groomer horizontally to the base of your neck with the cutting unit facing up, and move the groomer along the length of the neck until the unit touches your finger covering the hair roots at the base of your head. Repeat this procedure for the entire area of the neck. Be sure to move the unit slowly when performing this operation and to keep the hair roots at the base of your head out of the way of the groomer.
■Use the hand mirror to inspect the results of the operation and ensure all hairs along the nape of the neck have been trimmed.
To Define the Beard Line
■Remove the hair length attachment.
■Hold groomer with trimmer cutting blade facing you.
■Start with edge of beard line, and with the cutting blades resting lightly against your skin, use motions toward edge of beard line to trim the beard line to desired locations in facial area and away from beard in neck area.
To Thin and Taper the Beard
■ Remove the hair length attachment.
■ Use the unit’s styling comb or a small comb to comb and hold the beard hairs in place while trim- ming.
■ Holding the groomer with the cutting unit facing away from you, move the groomer along the length of the comb.
The Best Technique for Nose & Ear
Before you begin, press the button on the back of trimmer head to allow the pivoting head to swivel and change the wide trimmer (beard/neckline) to the narrow, nose and ear trimmer.
Here are a few tips for trimming the various parts of your face.
To remove hair from nose:
■ Nose, ear, eyebrow attachment should be in position. ■ Turn groomer on. ■ Insert groomer’s cutting unit gently into the
nostril. ■ Rotate groomer in a circular motion around the
opening of the nostril.
■ For best cutting efficiency, gently move the
groomer in and out of the nostril as you rotate the groomer.
■Avoid inserting the groomer more than 1/4” into your nostril to ensure safe trimming.
To remove hair from ear:
■Nose, ear, eyebrow attachment should be in position.
■ Turn groomer on.
■ Insert groomer’s cutting unit gently into the outer ear canal opening.
■ Gently rotate groomer in a circular motion.
■To trim hairs protruding from the surface of the ear
surrounding the outer ear canal, guide the groomer around the edge of the ear.
■Avoid inserting the groomer more than 1/4” into your ear canal to ensure safe trimming.
To remove hair from eyebrows:
■Nose, ear, eyebrow attachment should be in position.
■ Turn groomer on.
■ Gently guide cutting unit to stray, unwanted hairs
along the eyebrow line or protruding from the eyebrow itself.
■ Move the unit slowly and carefully so as not to accidentally cut any hairs you do not intend to
trim. It is not recommended that you use the groomer to define or trim the entire eyebrow.
Cleaning & Maintenance
Changing Attachments
Remove an attachment by pushing the back of the attachment forward to release the rear latch. Insert an attachment by inserting the front first, then rocking back to set the rear latch. Be careful not to press down on the foil on the shaver attachment, as it is delicate.
To Use the MiniScreen Shaver:
Hold the groomer so the mini screen gently touches your face. This allows the unit to work the way it was designed for the closest shave and minimum screen wear. Avoid holding the groomer at an angle. This will distort the screen and may cause some skin irritations.
Use short, detail strokes to trim around your beard/mustache. Use your free hand to stretch your skin. This encourages your whiskers to stand out, making it easier for them to enter the cutting chamber.
Please note: The MiniScreen shaver was designed to shave the detail areas around your beard/mustache/sideburns. It was not designed to shave your entire
