,, The selected setting appears in the window to the left of the hair length selector.

appliance slowly against the direction of hair growth. (Fig. 6)
Do not move the appliance too fast. Make smooth and gentle movements and make sure the surface of the comb always stays in contact with the skin.
4Regularly remove the comb to blow and/or shake out hair that has accumulated.
You have to set the trimming length again after you have removed the comb!
