Remington Precision Beard & Mustache Trimmer - Manual (Page 4)

To Thin and Taper the Beard
■ Trimmer guard attachment is off.
■ Use the unit’s styling comb or a small comb to
comb and hold the beard hairs in place while trimming.
■ Holding the trimmer horizontally with the cutting
unit facing away from you, move the trimmer along
the length of the comb.
Creating the “Stubble Look”
■ Trimmer guard attachment should be
on and set to position 1 (1.5 mm) or 2 (2.5 mm).
■ Hold trimmer horizontally with the cutting unit
facing either up or down.
■ Trim hairs using an upward or downward
motion against or with the direction of hair growth,
whichever is preferred.
■ For an even closer “stubble look,” remove
the hair length selector attachment and repeat
the previous two steps. However, caution must
be taken not to remove too much hair, creating
a “blotchy” look.
To Trim Mustache and Sideburns
with the Pop-Up Trimmer (MB-40, 45 & 50)
The small size of this trimmer makes edging and
defining mustaches and cutting stray hairs quick
and easy.
■ Comb hairs outward so they are at their
maximum height.
■ Open the pop-up trimmer by sliding the trimmer
switch upward.
■ Hold trimmer perpendicular, as shown, to
achieve desired line above the lip.
■ Trim any stray hairs.
Attention: Main cutter is still operating while
pop-up trimmer is in use.
■ Close trimmer by sliding trimmer switch down.
■ Turn trimmer OFF.
Without trimmer guard attachment
■ Remove trimmer guard attachment.
■ Place a finger on upper lip only to lift hair up, away from skin.
■ Trim hairs using an upward motion.
■ After achieving desired length, use a downward motion to blend
mustache hairs.
NOTE: Use slow and light pressure. Too much
pressure may trim off more hair than desired.
■ Turn trimmer off.
To trim sideburns
■ Comb sideburns following the direction of your
hair growth.
■ Be certain trimmer guard attachment is ON.
■ Hold trimmer vertically with front of trimmer facing you.
■ Trim sideburns using a downward motion.
■ Turn trimmer OFF.
Trimming the Nape of Your Neck
■ You will need a hand mirror for this operation if performing it alone.
The mirror is not necessary if trimming is performed by a second person.
■ Remove the hair length selector attachment.
■ Use your fingers to lift the hair at the base of your head up off the neck.
Your index finger should be covering the roots of the hairs you are lifting to
prevent accidental removal by trimmer.
■ Using your other hand, hold the trimmer horizon-
tally to the base of your neck with the cutting unit
facing up, and move the trimmer along the length of
the neck until the unit touches your finger covering
the hair roots at the base of your head. Repeat this
procedure for the entire area of the neck. Be sure to
move the unit slowly when performing this operation and to keep the hair
roots at the base of your head out of the way of the trimmer.
■ Use the hand mirror to inspect the results of the operation and ensure
all hairs along the nape of the neck have been trimmed.
Trimming Beards
■ Before you begin, comb your hair in the direction that it grows so that
the hairs are at their maximum height and facing in the same direction.
■ Determine how much hair you want to cut and position the hair
length selector accordingly. Remember, until you are familiar with using the
trimmer, it’s always better to select a longer hair setting initially in order not
to trim too much hair.
■ Turn the unit’s power switch to ON, and begin trimming.
■ When finished trimming, turn the unit’s power switch to OFF.
To Trim the Beard’s Hair Length
■ Trimmer guard attachment is on.
■ Turn the trimmer so the front of the cutting unit (“Zoom
Wheel” side) is facing away from you.
■ Start trimming under your chin and, following your jaw-
bone line, work toward your ear and upper beard line using an
upward motion. Allow the hair length selector attachment to
follow the contours of your face. You may trim either against
or with the direction of beard growth, whichever is preferred.
To Define the Beard Line
■ Remove trimmer guard attachment.
■ Hold trimmer vertically with trimmer cutting blades
facing you.
■ Start with edge of beard line, and with the cutting blades
resting lightly against your skin, use motions towards edge of
beard line to trim the beard line to desired location in facial
area and away from beard in neck area.
