charging – this is normal. 10. A fully charged trimmer will give approxi- mately 15-20 minutes of trimming time. NOTE: When traveling there is no need to take the stand. Just plug the cord directly into the base of the unit with the switch in the “OFF” position and the unit will charge. Bring the batteries with the handle of the trim- mer to the nearest collection center for proper disposal. DO NOT throw the battery into the normal municipal waste system. TYPES OF BEARDS/MUSTACHES GROWING A BEARD OR MUSTACHE There are three key factors that determine which beard or mustache style is most suitable for your face: 1. The shape and dimensions of your face. 2. The natural growth of your beard/mustache. 3. The thickness of your beard/mustache. If you are unsure of the type of beard or mus- tache that most suits your face, speak with a professional hair stylist and ask for an opinion on what style would be best. Once your beard or mustache has been styled, it is essential that you maintain its appearance. To do this, use your shaper to trim your beard/mustache weekly. For the best trimming results, your beard should be slightly damp (not wet) before using the trimmer. This will prevent the trimmer from removing more hair than desired. CAUTION Do not immerse any part of the charging stand or the adapter in water. Do not try to plug the adapter into an AC outlet while your hands are wet. The outer foil and inner blades of the shaver are delicate and must be handled very carefully. The foil of the shaver head is extremely thin and precision crafted. Do not push on the foil when inserting the trimmer into the charging stand. GETTING STARTED TO SWITCH TRIMMER HEADS Hold the trimmer handle with the back of the trimmer facing you. With your other hand; twist the head counter clockwise, then puling straight away ( Fig. 1) Attach another head by inserting it down on top, align the triangle on the trimmer head with the circle on the side of the handle and turn clock- wise until the dot is aligned (Fig. 2). BATTERY REMOVAL CONTAINS NICKEL CADMIUM BATTERY. MUST BE COLLECTED, RECYCLED OR DISPOSED OF PROPERLY. DO NOT DISPOSE OF IN THE MUNICIPAL WASTE.

ATTACHMENT Attach the foil shaver head. Turn unit on. Gently press the foil head against your skin where you want to completely shave the skin clean. Gently pull your skin taught and move the shaver in a circular motion over your skin. When you are finished, or if you have a lot of stubble to remove, press the release buttons on the side of the shaver head and gen- tly pull the foil assembly off. Clean the cutter and foil using the brush. Reattach the foil head. TAKING CARE OF YOUR TRIMMER BLADE CARE Because the trimmer blades are precision made for a very special use, they should always be handled with care. Each time you finish using the trimmer, take the cleaning brush provided and brush away any loose hair that has collect- ed in the blades. Then store the trimmer in its storage stand until the next use. To promote the long life of the appliance, use your trimmer only for the purpose intended by the manufacturer. Each week drop a small amount of oil on the beard trimmer blades and turn the trimmer on for a few seconds. Wipe any excess oil off the housing. To clean the shaver blade and foil: 1. Press both foil frame release button (Fig. 3). Then remove the shaver head (the cutter is now in view). Be careful not to push on the foil. It is delicate and can easily be damaged. TO TRIM YOUR MUSTACHE 1. For best results, start with a clean, slightly damp mustache. 2. Comb through your mustache in the direction it grows. 3. Place the 5-position comb over the trimmer blades and snap it into posi- tion. It is a good idea to start with the longest trim setting adjustment. (You can always go back and cut your mustache more closely with a shorter setting.) ALWAYS TRIM YOUR MUSTACHE FROM THE TOP DOWN After your mustache has been trimmed to the desired length, remove the 5-position comb and, using the blades only, define the outline of the bottom of your mustache. USING THE SCRIBE BLADE The scribe blade is used for fine detailing of your facial hair. After trimming the hair to the desired length, us the scribe blade to make fine line details, the narrow blade width is perfect for detailing under your lips or along the jaw line 1. Attach the scribe blade head 2. Move the ON/OFF switch to the on position 3. Press the tip of the scribe blade against your skin and move the blade to create the desired detail to your facial hair. 4. When finished detailing, move the ON/OFF switch to the OFF position. 5. Use the supplied brush to clean away hairs. 6. Return the trimmer to the charging stand in between uses
