Cleaning & Maintenance

Cleaning and Maintaining Your Trimmer

Your trimmer is fitted with high-quality hardened steel or ceramic cutting blades that are permanently lubricated. Cleaning should only be done with a soft brush, such as the brush supplied with the unit.

Clean your trimmer regularly to ensure that the unit’s operating life is not prematurely shortened.

■Unplug adapter from wall outlet

■Do not apply pressure or hard objects to the cutters.

■Do not use liquid cleaners on the cutters or harsh or corrosive chemicals on the unit’s main body.

Weekly

Trimmer should always be shut off. Remove trimmer guard attachment from trimmer. Shake or blow out

any accumulated hairs.

1. Flip the blades open by pushing upward on the cutter teeth. The cutter assembly will swing up and the underside of the cutter assembly will be accessible.

2.Blow out any loose hair that has accumulated. Brush out any remaining hair from the cutter teeth and hair pocket with the brush provided. Do not rinse the cutter assembly under water or use cleaning fluids, which could remove the lubrication.
