Cleaning and Maintaining
Your Trimmer
Your trimmer is fitted with high-quality
hardened steel or ceramic cutting blades
that are permanently lubricated. Cleaning
should only be done with a soft brush,
such as the brush supplied with the unit.
Clean your trimmer regularly to ensure that
the unit’s operating life is not prematurely
shortened.
■ Unplug adapter from wall outlet
■ Do not apply pressure or hard objects to
the cutters.
■ Do not use liquid cleaners on the cutters
or harsh or corrosive chemicals on the
unit’s main body.
Weekly

always be shut
off. Remove
trimmer guard
attachment

Shake or blow out
any accumulated hairs.

1. Flip the blades open by
pushing upward on the
cutter teeth. The cutter
assembly will swing up
and the underside of
the cutter assembly
will be accessible.
2. Blow out any loose hair that has
accumulated. Brush out any remaining
hair from the cutter teeth and hair pocket
with the brush provided. Do not rinse the
cutter assembly under water or use
cleaning fluids, which could remove the
lubrication.
