Use
Adjusting the cutting length
-
The side adjusting lever allows smooth
adjustment of the cutting length from
approx. 0.3 to 3 mm, even during
operation.
-
The push-on combs provided extend the
range of the cutting length and are fitted
onto the trimming comb. After use,
disengage the attachment at the back and
lift it off.
Operation
-
Before cutting, the hair should be clean
and thoroughly combed first.
-
For longer hair-cuts, a push-on comb or a
normal comb should be used.
Always start with the largest push-on
comb, as this will help you to get a feel
for cutting the hair to the desired length.
-
For shorter hair-cuts, follow-up with a
smaller push-on comb or without any
comb attachment.
-
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 a push-on comb.
Care and Cleaning
● It is essential to switch off the unit and
remove the plug from the wall socket
before cleaning and oiling.
● To avoid the risk of electric shock, the
appliance must not be immersed in liquid
or even allowed to come into contact
with liquid.
● Do not use abrasives or harsh cleaning
solutions.
-
If necessary, the housing may be wiped
with a dry, lint-free cloth.
Trimming comb and trimming blade
-
After each use, use the cleaning brush to
remove the hair between the trimming
comb and the trimming blade.
-
The trimming comb and trimming blade
can be removed for occasional thorough
cleaning by loosening the fixing screws.
● During re-assembly, the trimming comb
must be precisely aligned with the
trimming blade. Take extreme care that
the trimming blade does not protrude
over the trimming comb. With the
adjustment lever set to its minimum
cutting length, the distance between the
tips of the trimming blade and the
trimming comb should be at least 0.3
mm.
● After cleaning, and also after the
appliance has been used for approx. 20
minutes, put a few drops of acid-free oil
between the trimming comb and the
trimming blade and then switch the
appliance briefly on to ensure that the oil
is well and evenly distributed. Regular
oiling will guarantee good cutting
performance over a long period and thus
a long service life.
-
When the appliance is not in use, put the
protective cover over the trimming comb.
