To Charge/Recharge

◗Fully charge Groomer before using for the first time or after non-use for a long period of time.

◗Battery performance is best if you recharge only when the battery is (almost) completely empty.

◗Charging or recharging at temperatures below 40˚F or higher than 95˚F adversely affects lifespan of the battery.

◗Continuously recharging Groomer will reduce lifespan of battery.

1Be certain Groomer is OFF.

22. You may charge the Groomer:

◗In the charging stand by inserting the plug into the socket located in the bottom of the charging stand (fig. 2). Place the Groomer directly on the charging pin in the stand (fig. 3).

◗By inserting the charging plug directly into the Groomer (fig. 4).

3Plug charging plug into any 120V AC outlet. Use only the cord provided.

4After a few moments, the green Charging Indicator Light on the power plug will light to indicate the Groomer is charging (fig. 5).

◗It will take approximately 10 hours to fully charge the Groomer for a cordless trimming time of up to 35 minutes.

◗Disconnect the cord and unplug from electrical outlet.

Optimize the working life of the battery

◗ After the Groomer has been charged for the first

time, do not recharge the Groomer between

trimming sessions. Continue using it until the

Trimming your Beard & Moustache with Accu•Control Guide Comb Attachment

◗Use this Groomer for its intended household use as described in this manual.

◗Make sure that the Groomer is fully charged before you start trimming. This Groomer will not operate while cord is connected to electrical outlet.

1Put the Accu•Control comb on the full width trimmer attachment until you hear it click into place (fig. 6). The Accu•Control comb will not work with the smaller neckline and sideburn trimmer attachment.

2Press the Hair Length Selector and slide it to the desired trimming length setting. The selected setting number will appear in the window to the left of the Hair Length Selector (fig.7). See Table 1 for settings.

◗If you are trimming for the first time, start by using the Accu•Control comb at the maximum trimming length setting (#9) to prevent accidentally trimming hairs too short. As you become familiar with the settings, adjust Hair Length Selector to desired trimming length. Selector will "click" into position at each setting.

3Switch the Groomer ON.

4To trim in the most effective way, move the Groomer against the direction of hair growth. Make sure the surface of the Guide Comb always stays in contact with the skin (fig. 8).

NOTE: Since all hairs do not grow in the same direction, you may want to try different trimming directions (i.e., upwards, downwards, or across). Practice is best for optimum results.

If a lot of hair has accumulated in the Guide Comb, remove the comb and blow and/or shake the hair out

hear a click.

◗Hold the Groomer upright when you use the smaller neckline and sideburn trimmer attachment (fig. 12).

Using Nose, Ear & Eyebrow

Attachment

1Be certain the Groomer is in the OFF position.

2To attach or remove nose, ear, eyebrow attachment (or change attachments):

◗Remove the Accu•Control comb attachment (fig. 9).

◗Remove the full width trimmer attachment by pushing the release button (fig. 10).

◗Put the nose, ear, eyebrow attachment on the Groomer (fig. 13). You will hear a click.

Trimming Nose Hair

◗Make sure nasal passages are clean.

1Place nose, ear and eyebrow attachment on Groomer.

2Switch the Groomer on and insert the tip of the attachment into one nostil (fig. 14).

CAUTION: Do Not insert the tip more than 3/16 in./5mm into your nostril.

3Slowly move the tip in and out while turning it around at the same time in order to remove unwanted hair. For best results, make sure the side of the tip is firm against skin. This will reduce the tickling effect that can occur during trimming of nose hair.

4Turn off Groomer. Wipe attachment clean after each use.

Trimming Ear Hair

Selector (fig. 19).

When you are clipping for the first time, start at the maximum clipping length setting (#9) to familiarize yourself with the appliance and prevent accidentally trimming hairs too short. As you become familiar with the settings, adjust the Hair Length Selector to desired trimming length. Selector will ‘click’ into position at each setting.

4Make sure that the flat part of the comb is always in full contact with the scalp to obtain an even result (fig. 20-21).

5Move the appliance slowly over the crown from different directions to achieve an even result (fig. 22).

6Always move the appliance against the direction of hair growth.

7Make overlapping passes over the head to ensure that all hair that should be cut has been cut.

8Turn the Groomer off and remove the hair comb often to blow and/or shake out hair that has accumulated.

◗REMEMBER: You must reset the hair length
