the adapter.
Charging process
Before using the appliance for the first time the
battery must be fully charged, which will take
about 8 hours. The appliance can remain on
charge for a longer period without damage or
danger, but this should generally be avoided.
With a fully charged battery, the appliance can
be operated for around 60 minutes.
If you experience a considerable decrease in
trimming performance, switch off the appliance
and recharge the battery. The beard trimmer /
shaper may also be used with the adapter
connected directly. In this case, however, the
battery must be briefly charged for
approximately 10 minutes. The charging
process 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 trimmer is switched off and
place it into the charging base.
- Insert the adapter into a suitable wall
socket. The charging process begins
automatically. The red charge indicator at
the bottom of the appliance remains lit as
long as the appliance is connected to the
mains.
- 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 corresponding jack on the
trimmer. The red charge indicator lights up.
- 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
Changing the trimming heads
■
To remove the trimming head, first turn the
head anti-clockwise until the 'open-lock'
symbol on the head and the dot mark on
the housing are aligned; then pull the head
off.
■
To fit the trimming head, place it on the
appliance in such a way that the dot mark
and the 'open-lock' symbol on the head are
aligned. Then turn the head clockwise to
lock it. The dot mark and the 'closed-lock'
symbol are now aligned.
Fitting the push-on combs
The push-on comb attachments allow for
cutting length adjustment from 3 to 12 mm.
The smaller comb is suitable for 3 mm and 6
mm, the larger comb for 9 and 12 mm. The
comb attachments can only be used with the
30 mm trimming head.
When fitting a push-on comb, ensure that it is
safely locked by the two locking buttons on the
sides. To remove a push-on comb, push it
upwards from the side.
Operation
■
Before each use, always put a few drops of
acid-free oil between the trimming comb
and the trimming blade.
- Depending on the desired shape or style,
either the wide or the small trimming head
may be used.
- For longer beards, one of the push-on comb
attachments can be used together with the
wider trimming head. However, you should
always start with the larger comb.
- Switch the appliance on.
- The beard is generally cut against the
natural direction of growth.
- Always begin at the neck and move the
appliance upwards through the beard hair.
- For a shaped cut, reverse the appliance
and shorten the hair from top to bottom
without using the push-on comb.
