How to Use
Trimming Beards
■Before you begin, comb your hair in the direction that it grows so that the hairs are at their maximum 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 the Beard’s Hair Length
■Trimmer guard attachment is on.
■Turn the trimmer so the front of the cutting unit (“Zoom Wheel” side) 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 hair length selector attachment to follow the contours of your face.
You may trim either against or with the
direction of beard growth, whichever is preferred.
To Define the Beard Line
■Remove trimmer guard attachment.
■Hold trimmer vertically with cutting blades facing you.

■Start with edge of beard line. With the cutting blades resting lightly against your skin, use
motions towards edge of
beard line to trim it to desired location in facial area and away from beard in neck area.
To Thin and Taper the Beard
■Trimmer guard attachment is off.
■Use the unit’s styling comb or a small comb and hold the beard hairs in place
while trimming.
■ Holding the trimmer hoizontally 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 horizontaly with the cutting unit facing either up or down.
■ Trim hairs using an upward or downward motion against or with the direction of hair growth, whichever
is preferred.
■For an even closer
“stubble look,” remove the hair length selector attachment and repeat
the previous two steps. 
However, caution must be taken not to remove too much hair, creating a “blotchy” look.

■Using your other hand, hold the trimmer horizontally to 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.
