Operation

Rechargeable-battery operation

Charge the battery by plugging the trimmer into an AC source using the adapter. The switch should be set to 0·Charge during charging. An 8-hour charge will provide approx. 50 minutes of use.

AC operation

Plug the trimmer into an AC power source using the adapter with the switch set to 0·Charge. Wait about 10 seconds, then switch the trimmer on. After use, return the switch to the 0·Charge 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 attachment 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 body of the trimmer with Panasonic mark upwards, place the thumb against the blades, and push them 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 on the blades. (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 expectancy is approximately 3 years. If cutting efficiency is reduced substantially despite proper maintenance, the blades have exceeded their service life and should be changed.

The replacement part no. is WER9601Y.

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 their 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.
