◗If you are trimming for the first time, start by using the AccuControl comb at the maximum trimming length setting (#9) to prevent acci- dentally 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 of the comb.You can also use the cleaning brush provided to remove hair from the comb area.
◗REMEMBER:You must reset the hair length selector back to your desired setting every time you replace the guide comb on the appliance.
