How to Use
Trimming Beards
■Before you begin, comb your hair in the direction that it grows so that the hairs are at their maximun height and facing in the same direction.
■Determine how much hair you want to cut and position the hair length selector accordingly. Remember, until you are familiar with using the trimmer, it’s always better to select a longer hair setting initially in order not to trim too much hair.
■Turn the unit’s power switch to ON, and begin trimming.
■When finished trimming, turn the unit’s power switch to OFF.
To Trim Beard Hair Length
■Put trimmer guard attachment on.
■Turn the trimmer
so the front of 
the cutting unit is 
facing away from you.
■Start trimming under your chin and, following your jawbone line, work toward your ear and upper beard line using an upward motion. Allow the trimmer guard attachment to follow the contours of your face. You may trim either against or with the direction of beard growth, whichever you prefer.

To Define the Beard Line
■Remove trimmer guard attachment.
■Hold trimmer vertically with trimmer cutting blades facing you.
■Start with the edge of your beard line, and with the cutting blades resting lightly against your skin,
use motions
toward the edge of beard line to trim the beard line to desired location.
To Thin and Taper the Beard
■Remove trimmer guard attachment.
■ Use the unit’s styling comb or another small comb and hold the beard hairs in place while trimming.
■Holding the trimer horizontally with the cutting unit facing away from you, move the trimmer along the length of the comb.
Creating the “Stubble Look”
■Trimmer guard attachment should be
on and set to position 1 (1.5 mm) or 2 (2.5 mm).
■Hold trimmer horizontally with the cutting unit facing either up down.
■Trim hairs using an upward or downward motion, against or with the direction of hair growth, whichever you prefer.
■For an even
closer “stubble
look,” remove the trimmer guard attachment
and repeat
the previous two steps. Be careful not to remove too much hair, creating a “blotchy” look.
Detail Trimming

■Remove trimmer guard attachment.
■Turn the power switch to ON and begin trimming.
■Turn trimmer OFF. 
To Trim Mustache
■Place a finger on upper lip to extend hair away from skin.
■Trim hairs using an upward motion.
■After achieving desired length, use a downward motion to blend mustache hairs.
NOTE: Use slow and light pressure. Too much pressure may trim off more hair than desired.
■Turn trimmer OFF.
To Trim Sideburns
■Comb sideburns following the direction of your hair growth.
■Be certain trimmer guard attachment is on.
■Hold trimmer vertically with front of trimmer facing you.
■Trim sideburns using a downward motion.

Trimming the Nape of Your Neck
■You will need a
hand mirror for this operation if
performing it alone. The mirror is not neccessary
if trimming is performed by a second person.
■Remove the trimmer guard attachment.
■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 trimmer.
■Using your other hand, hold the trimming edge horizontally against the base of your neck with the cutting unit facing up, and move the trimmer 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 trimmer.
■Use the hand mirror to inspect the results of the operation and ensure all hairs along the nape of the neck have been trimmed.
