remain on charge for a longer period without
damage or danger.
If you experience a considerable decrease in
trimming performance, or if the indicator light
starts flashing red, switch off the appliance and
recharge the battery. The hair trimmer may
also be used by means of the adapter. In this
case, however, the battery must be briefly
charged for approximately 10 minutes. The
charging process, shown by the charge
indicator, starts only once the unit is switched
off.
- Insert the connecting plug of the adapter
into the corresponding jack on the charging
base.
- Ensure that the hair trimmer is switched off
and place it into the charging base.
- Insert the adapter into a suitable wall
socket. The charging process begins
automatically and is shown by the charge
indicator, which remains lit as long as the
base is connected to the mains.
The charging process will only start if the
unit has been switched off.
- When the battery is fully charged, the
indicator light changes from red to green.
- Once the charging process is complete,
always remove the adapter from the wall
socket first before disconnecting the jack
from the charging base.
- The battery can also be recharged by
inserting the connecting plug of the adapter
directly into the connecting jack on the hair
trimmer.
- While charging, the transformer within the
adapter will become warm. This is perfectly
normal and safe and does not indicate a
malfunction of any kind.
- If the appliance has not been used for a
long period, the capacity of the battery may
decrease by a certain amount. However,
full capacity will be restored after several
charge/discharge cycles.
Use
Adjusting the cutting length
The push-on comb attachments supplied allow
for a step-by-step cutting length adjustment
from 4 to 40 mm. The length can be gradually
changed to 14 different positions by using the
adjustment slide control and the two combs
provided. Simply press the slide control button
and select the desired cutting length. With the
smaller comb, the following lengths can be
selected: 4mm, 7mm, 9mm, 12mm, 15mm,
17mm and 20mm. The larger comb allows for
lengths of 24 mm, 27 mm, 29 mm, 32 mm,
35 mm, 37 mm and 40 mm.
To remove the comb attachment, set the
adjustment slide control to its highest position
and pull the comb off.
3-position switch
The 3-position switch allows for the following
settings:

Operation
■
Before each use, always put a few drops of
acid-free oil between the trimming comb
and the trimming blade.
- Always start with the highest setting of the
push-on comb.
- The hair should first be combed, and then
generally cut against its natural direction.
- For longer hair-cuts use the push-on comb
or a normal comb.
- Cut from bottom to top with the trimming
comb lying against the head; lead the
appliance upwards through the hair, moving
it gradually away from the head at the same
time.
- For a shaped cut, reverse the appliance
and shorten the hair from top to bottom
without using the push-on comb.
- Proceed in the same fashion when
trimming a beard.
