Philips T870 AccuVac System, Trimming With AccuControl Guide Comb Attachment

AccuVac System

The AccuVac System with Integrated Vacuum is activated automatically as soon as you switch the trimmer on. It collects cut hairs during every kind of use, i.e. trimming with or without comb attachment and contouring. The flexible hair guide follows the contours of the face and the Flexi-Guard Hair Deflector directs cut hairs towards the nozzle of the vacuum mechanism. It is recommended that you empty the Hair Collection Chamber after each trimming session. When trimming long, dense beards it may also be necessary to empty the Hair Collection Chamber during the trimming session in order to maintain optimal suction performance (also see ‘Cleaning’ section, ‘Hair Collection Chamber’).

◗To ensure optimal functioning of the AccuVac System, do not cut off more than approx. 7mm of your overall beard length at a time. If you want to cut your beard shorter, repeat the process one or more times.

Trimming

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

◗Always comb your beard and/or moustache with a fine comb before you start trimming.

◗If you are trimming for the first time, be careful. Do not move the Trimmer too fast. Make smooth and gentle movements.

Trimming With AccuControl Guide Comb Attachment

◗Guide Comb Attachment must be on Trimmer in order to use the Zoom Lock.

1Turn the Zoom Lock to the desired trimming length setting (see table). The setting will appear in the window below the Zoom Lock (fig. 3).

◗If you are trimming for the first time, start by using the maximum trimming length setting #9 to prevent accidentally trimming hairs too short. As you become familiar with the settings, adjust Zoom Lock to desired trimming length. Zoom Lock will “click” into position at each setting.
