Trimming Length Settings Table 2 Switch the Trimmer ON. 3 To trim in the most effective way, move the Trimmer against the direction of hair growth. Do not move the trimmer too fast. Make smooth and gentle movements and make sure the surface of the Guide Comb always stays in contact with the skin (fig. 6). NOTE: Since all hairs do not grow in the same direction, you may want to try different trimming positions (i.e., upwards, downwards, or across). Practice is best for optimum results.

Put It To The Test Like many new products, your Norelco AccuVac Trimmer may take a little getting used to. If you are using an electric Trimmer for the first time, or if you’ve been using a different brand, take the time to acquaint yourself with your new Trimmer. Your AccuVac Trimmer features the Patented Acu•Control System combined with an adjustable Zoom Lock to make trimming facial hairs goof-proof. The integrated AccuVac System collects cut-off hairs during use. Throw your scissors away and put your new AccuVac Trimmer to the test. We guarantee precise, professional, results or Norelco will refund you the full purchase price, guaranteed! Acu•Control System The patented Acu•Control System puts you in complete control while trimming your facial hairs with no prior experience needed. The flexing Guide Comb adjusts automatically to hug the contours of your face for a trim that is both even and accurate. And, it’s easy to maneuver over those hard-to-reach areas such as the throat and chin. The patented Zoom Lock Hair Length Selector allows you to choose among 9 preset hair lengths and locks into position so you can control the exact hair length you desire or vary the length of your facial hair. The Patented Acu•Control System and Zoom Lock Hair Length Selector for professional, goof-proof results every time. AccuVac System The AccuVac System 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 ACU•CONTROL Guide Comb Attachment ◗ Guide Comb Attachment must be on Trimmer in order to use the Zoom Lock. 1 Turn the Zoom Lock to the desired trimming length setting (see table). The setting will appear in the window below the Zoom Lock (fig. 5). ◗ 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. Charging Charge the Trimmer fully before you start using it for the first time or after a long period of disuse. Charge Indications Low Battery ◗ When the battery capacity drops below its minimum level, the red low-battery indicator light starts blinking when you switch the trimmer on or during trimming to indicate that the appliance needs to be charged (fig. 2). ◗ When this happens, there is still enough energy in the battery for one more trimming session. When the battery is completely empty, neither the motor or the lights will go on. In this case you can still trim using the cord provided. Charging ◗ When you start charging, the green charging light starts blinking (fig. 3). ◗ During charging the blinking green charging light indicates the level at which the battery is currently charging. The battery capacity that is already available is indicated by the green battery lights that burn continuously (fig. 4). Battery Full Indicator When the battery is fully charged, the bottom three green lights burn continuously and the top green light blinks at a very quick rate. Battery Capacity Indication Your AccuVac beard trimmer is equipped with a battery capacity indication. This indication becomes visible for 5 seconds every time the Trimmer is switched on or off. The number of burning green lights indicates the amount of battery capacity that is available. To Charge / Recharge ◗ (Re)charging requires one full hour. ◗ Use only the cord provided. ◗ Battery performance is best if you recharge only when the battery is (almost) completely empty. ◗ Charging or recharging at temperatures below 40°F or higher than 95°F adversely affects lifetime of battery. ◗ Continuously recharging or continuously using as a corded Trimmer will reduce life of battery. ◗ You may also trim using the cord provided. This Trimmer will not recharge while being used corded. 1 Be certain Trimmer is OFF. 2 Connect cord to Trimmer. Plug into any 120V AC outlet only. Use only the cord provided. ◗ An adaptor plug may be necessary for cord usage in some foreign countries. Use an attachment plug adaptor of the proper configuration for power outlet. Do not charge Trimmer in a pouch or for more than 24 hours. ◗ It requires 1 hour to fully charge the battery, if the battery capacity is completely empty. If there is still battery capacity available, fully charging the battery will take less time. ◗ A fully charged Trimmer has a cordless trimming time of up to 40 minutes. 3 Disconnect the cord and unplug from electrical outlet unless you are using the Trimmer corded. Optimize The Working Life Of The Battery ◗ After Trimmer has been charged for the first time, do not recharge Trimmer between trimming sessions. Continue using until the battery is completely empty. ◗ Discharge the battery completely twice a year by letting the motor run until it stops. ◗ Do not charge for more than 24 hours. ◗ Do not keep cord permanently plugged in. ◗ If Trimmer hasn’t been used for a long period of time, Trimmer must be recharged for one full hour. Corded Trimming 1 Connect cord provided to Trimmer. 2 Plug Trimmer into electrical outlet. 3 If battery is completely empty, wait a few minutes before switching Trimmer on. 4 Turn Trimmer ON and begin trimming. 5 Turn Trimmer OFF and unplug. 6 Do not use Trimmer corded when battery is fully charged. NOTE: Trimmer does not recharge during cord trimming. Trimming For “Stubble” Look 1 Be certain Guide Comb is on Trimmer and use setting #1 to result in a “stubble” look. (fig. 7).

You can now put the Guide Comb Attachment back on the Trimmer. Replacing Guide Comb Attachment On Trimmer 1 Be certain Trimmer is in OFF position. 2 Replace Guide Comb Attachment until it “clicks” into position. The Guide Comb Attachment can be placed on Trimmer only one way by properly aligning it to slide into the tracks on sides of Trimmer head. If it does not fit properly, reverse it. NOTE: The Zoom Lock can be on any setting when removing or replacing Attachment. Cleaning ◗ Always switch Trimmer OFF before cleaning. ◗ Do not use abrasive, scourers or liquids such as alcohol, benzene, bleach or acetone to clean the Trimmer. ◗ Never clean, remove or replace Guide Comb Attachment with motor ON. ◗ Do not apply pressure to cutters. ◗ Do not touch cutters with hard objects as this may damage them. ◗ Do not use while bathing, showering or immerse the Trimmer in water or other liquids as damage to Trimmer may occur. ◗ Never use sharp or hard objects to clean the filter to avoid damaging it. ◗ If cut hairs have accumulated in the Guide Comb area, turn Trimmer off, pull Guide Comb Attachment off Trimmer and remove hairs by shaking and/or blowing.
