Important.
Read these instructions for use carefully before using the
appliance and save them for future reference.
◗Check if the voltage indicated on the powerplug
corresponds to the local mains voltage before you
connect the appliance.
◗Only use the powerplug supplied to charge the
appliance. Do not cut off the powerplug to replace it
with another plug, as this will cause a hazardous
situation.
◗If the powerplug is damaged, always have it replaced by
one of the original type in order to avoid a hazard.
◗Make sure the appliance, the charging stand and the
powerplug do not get wet.
◗Charge, use and store the appliance at a temperature
between 15cC and 35cC.
◗This appliance is only intended for trimming and
grooming the human beard, moustache, sideburns, nose
hair, ear hair and eyebrows.
◗Keep the appliance out of the reach of children.
◗Do not use the appliance when one of the attachments
is damaged or broken, as this may cause injury.
◗Do not place the beard trimmer comb on the precision
attachment.
Charging.
Charge the appliance fully before you start using it for the
first time or after a long period of disuse.
It will take approx. 10 hours to fully charge the battery. A
fully charged appliance has a cordless operating time of up to
35 minutes. When you charge the appliance for 3 hours, you
can use it for 15 minutes.
The appliance does not run from the mains.
Make sure the appliance is switched off during charging!
You can charge the appliance in 2 different ways:
1In the charging stand:
◗Insert the appliance plug into the socket in the bottom
of the stand (fig. 2).
◗Place the appliance on the pin of the stand (fig. 3).
2Outside the charging stand:
◗Insert the appliance plug directly into the appliance
(fig. 4).
◗The green charging light on the powerplug indicates
that the appliance is charging (fig. 5).
Optimise the lifetime of the rechargeable battery
◗Do not leave the appliance plugged into the wall socket
for more than 24 hours.
◗Discharge the battery completely twice a year by letting
the motor run until it stops. Then fully recharge the
battery.
Preparing for use.
◗Always comb the hair with a fine comb in the direction
of growth before you start trimming.
◗Make sure that the hair is dry and clean.
Using the appliance.
Beard trimming with comb
1Put the beard trimmer comb on the trimming
attachment and push it home until you hear a click
(fig. 6).
2Press the hair length selector and slide it to the desired
setting. See table I (fig. 7).
The setting selected will appear in the window to the left of
the hair length selector.
BWhen you are trimming for the first time, start at the
maximum trimming length setting (9) to familiarise
yourself with the appliance.
BUsing setting 1 with the comb installed will result in a
'stubble look'.
3To trim in the most effective way, move the appliance
against the direction of hair growth (fig. 8).
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.
If a lot of hair has accumulated in the comb, remove the
comb and blow and/or shake the hair out of the comb.
NB: You have to adjust the trimming length again after you
have removed the comb!
Beard trimming without comb
1Remove the comb by pressing and sliding the hair length
selector upwards (fig. 9).
Never pull at the flexible top of the comb. Always pull at the
bottom part.
2Make well-controlled movements and touch your beard
only slightly with the trimming attachment.
Cutting without the comb will result in a very short stubble
beard.
Defining beard, moustache and sideburns
(only HQG 267 and QG 3040)
1Remove the beard trimmer comb by pressing and
sliding the hair length selector upwards (fig. 9).
2Detach the trimming attachment by pushing the release
button (fig. 10).
3Put the precision attachment on the appliance (fig. 11).
◗Hold the appliance upright when you use the precision
attachment (fig. 12).
Grooming facial hair (nose hair, ear hair and eyebrows)
1Remove the comb (fig. 9).
2Remove the trimming attachment (fig. 10).
3Put the nose/ear/eyebrow attachment on the appliance
(fig. 13).
Trimming nose hair
1Make sure your nostrils are clean.
2Switch the appliance on and insert the tip of the
attachment into one of your nostrils (fig. 14).
Do not insert the tip more than 0.5 cm into your nostril.
3Slowly move the tip in and out while turning it round at
the same time to remove unwanted hair.
To reduce the tickling effect, make sure that the side of the
tip is firmly pressed against the skin.
Trimming ear hair
1Clean the outer ear channel. Make sure it is free from
wax.
2Switch the appliance on and move the tip softly round
the ear to remove hairs sticking out beyond the rim of
the ear (fig. 15).
