Operation

Rechargeable-battery operation

Charge the battery by plugging the

trimmer into an AC source using the

adaptor. The switch should be set to

0·Charge during charging. An 8-hour

charge will provide approx. 50 min-

utes of use.

AC operation

Connect the AC adaptor to the body in

the same way as for charging, and set

the switch to “1” to use the trimmer.

If the AC adaptor is connected while

the switch is in the “1” position, the

trimmer may not operate. If this

occurs, set the switch to the “0·charge”

position, wait about 1 minute and then

set it back to the “1” position.

Trimming of Beard

Place the angled face of the comb

against the skin and cut the beard by

moving the trimmer in all directions

to obtain a uniform cut. (see fig. 4)

With curly facial hair, the comb

attachment may not cut all of the hair.

In this case, remove the comb attach-

ment and use a conventional comb to

draw out the remaining uncut hair.

(see fig. 5)

When shaping the beard, remove

the comb attachment. Place the

angled edge against the skin and

make the border of the beard even.

Maintenance

Blades

1. Brush out the cutting mechanism.

(see fig. 6)

2. Hold the body of the trimmer with

the on-off switch facing upwards

and with your thumb against the

blade assembly, push the blade

assembly away from the main

body. (see fig. 7)

3. Push down the cleaning lever to

raise the moving blade and brush

in between the blades. (see fig. 8)

4. Put a few drops of oil between the

stationary blade and moving

blade. (see fig. 9)

Blade Life

Blade life will vary according to the

frequency and length of use. For

example, using the unit for 10min-

utes every 3 days, the life expectan-

cy is approximately 3 years. If cut-

ting efficiency is reduced substan-

tially despite proper maintenance,

the blades have exceeded their ser-

vice life and should be changed.

Battery life

Battery life will vary according to the

frequency and length of use. If the

battery is charged 3 times a month,

the service life will be approximately

6 years. If the unit is left without

being charged for more than 6

months, the charge will drain from

the battery and its service life may

be shortened.

Therefore, even when not using reg-

ularly, it is recommended that the

unit be recharged at least once

every six months.
