Move the precision trimmer with the precision comb slowly through
the hair (Fig. 9).
- To trim in the most effective way, move the appliance against the direction
of hair growth.

appliance in different directions (upward, downward or across).
- Make sure that the flat part of the comb is always fully in contact with the
skin to obtain an even result.
- To make trimming easier, stretch the skin with your free hand during
trimming (Fig. 10).
