Cleaning & Maintenance

Getting Started

It’s a good idea to begin trimming at one of the longest settings (4 or 5) to avoid accidentally trimming hair too short. As you become familiar with the settings you can then select your desired length setting.

For best results, make sure hairs are clean and lotion-free before trimming.

Trimming Hair Length

What to use: trimmer blade with trimmer comb

1.Use the Thumb Wheel to set the trimmer comb to the desired length setting.

2.Turn the unit on.

3.Place the flat top of the trimmer comb against your skin.

4.Slowly slide the trimmer through the hair. Repeat from different directions, as necessary.

5.If hair builds up in the trimmer comb during the trimmer process, shut the unit off, pull off the adjustable trimmer comb, and simply brush or blow the hair off.

Shaping and Edging

What to use: trimmer blade without trimmer comb

Without the comb, the trimmer is perfect for shaping and defining the hairline.

1.Remove the adjustable trimmer comb to expose the trimmer blade.

2.Turn the unit on.

3.Place the cutters lightly against your skin outside the hairline, and slowly sweep the trimmer along the skin toward the desired trim line. Use slow, light

pressure. Too much pressure may trim off more hair than desired. You may find it helpful

to hold the skin taut while you trim

4.After trimming, go over the surrounding areas with the shaver attachment to remove any remaining short hairs.

Shaving

What to use: shaver attachment

For precision or touch-up shaving around the bikini area, underarms, ankles, or elsewhere, use the shaver attachment.

1.Remove the trimmer comb AND trimmer blade and replace them with the shaver attachment.

2.Turn the unit on.

3.Run the shaver lightly over the area to be shaved. Avoid pressing the shaving head very hard against the skin; this could damage the foil and irritate your skin.

!Never use trimmer or shaver with damaged or broken cutter units.

Blades won’t move even though the trimmer’s on?

The trimmers may be dirty and clogged. Clean and the unit as described on the next page.

Make sure the batteries are correctly installed and have not been depleted.

Clean Your Trimmer Regularly

To get the best performance from your bikini trimmer, make sure to clean it between uses. Here’s how:

Weekly

Push upward on the trimmer blade teeth

to pop it off the unit. ■ Shake or blow out any accumulated hairs.
