troubleShootIng
If your rechargeable trimmer does not seem
to be taking a charge, take the following
troubleshooting steps before returning it for
repair:
1. Be sure the electrical outlet is working by
plugging in another appliance to test the outlet.
2. Make sure the electrical plug is not
connected to a switch which turns power off
when lights are turned off.
3. Be sure you have inserted the trimmer
properly into the charging stand, that
all connections are secure, and that the
trimmer switch is in the “OFF” position.
operatIng InStructIonS:
1. Before using your trimmer for the first time,
place the unit in the charging stand and
charge it for 16 hours. Always place the
trimmer in the base with the ON/OFF switch
in the OFF position.
2. Always check to see if the charging light
is on when you place the trimmer in
the charging stand. The switch must face
forward for the trimmer to slide properly into
the base.
3. Plug the charger into any wall outlet (at
the voltage listed on the label affixed to
the charging stand). Unplug charging stand
when not in use.
4. The charging stand can remain plugged into
the power source at all times without dam-
age to the battery. However if it is not in use
it should be unplugged
5. To ensure that maximum charge is always
available, leave your trimmer in the charging
stand at all times. This will not overcharge or
damage the trimmer.
6. The charging stand may become warm while
charging. This is normal.
7. Battery life can be improved by
periodically allowing the trimmer to run
until the motor stops. Immediately shut the
switch OFF and fully recharge.
Note: Trimmer must be in the “off” position
when charging or the unit will not charge and
it could cause damage to the unit.

takIng care of your trImmer
oIlIng the bladeS
About once a month you should oil the trimmer
blades with the oil provided in your kit. It is
best to do this over a piece of newspaper. Turn
the trimmer on and hold it so that the blades
are pointed downward. Spread one drop of oil
across the blades, then turn the trimmer off and
wipe away the excess oil with a soft cloth.
Be careful not to use too much oil and don’t oil
your trimmer more than necessary, as this could
damage the motor. (Never attempt to oil the
motor bearing, as it is permanently lubricated.)
After oiling the blades, return the trimmer and
oil packet to the trimmer storage base. Keep oil
away from children.
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 collected in the blades. Then store
the trimmer in its recharging storage base to
protect the blades until the next use.
Be especially careful when changing or
adjusting blades. When you have your
trimmer serviced, be sure that both blades are
sharpened or replaced at the same time.
To promote the long life of the appliance, use
your trimmer only for the purpose intended by the
manufacturer – to trim your beard and mustache.
turbo feature
This product is equipped with a turbo boost
button. When activated, this will provide 15%
more cutting power. This is especially useful
for cutting through thicker hair.
To activate the turbo feature:
1. Press down the lock button and turn the
Power switch to the “on” position.
2. Press the Turbo button.
3. Continue to press the Turbo button for as
long as you need the extra power.
4. Release the Turbo button to return to normal
power.
growIng a beard and muStache
There are three key factors that will
determine which beard or mustache style is
best for you:
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 about the type of beard or mus-
tache that would most suit 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 trimmer to trim your
beard/mustache weekly.
For the best trimming results, your beard should
be slightly damp (NOT WET) when using your
trimmer. This will prevent the trimmer from
removing more hair than desired.
typeS of beardS/muStacheS
gettIng Started:
outlInIng your beard
1. It is always best to begin with a clean, slightly
damp beard (not wet.
2. After you have combed
through your beard in the
direction it grows natural-
ly, you will want to outline
the desired shape, begin-
ning under your jawline.
3. Begin defining your beard’s shape under
your chin and work upward on each side
of your face toward your ears. Then define
the upper outline of your beard across your
cheeks, past your sideburns, and toward
your hairline.
comb attachmentS
For a short to medium cut use the 1/4" attach-
ment comb. For a medium to long cut use the
3/8" attachment comb.
to trIm your muStache
Using the Scribe (narrow head) blade makes out-
lining your goatee or mustache quick and easy.
1. For best results, start with
a clean, slightly damp
mustache, and always
trim your mustache from
the top down.
2. Comb through your mustache in the direction
it grows.
battery removal
1. Using a small Phillips head screwdriver,
remove the screw at the back of the trimmer.
2. Remove the bottom housing and push the
batteries out. Bring the batteries to the
nearest collection center for proper
disposal. DO NOT throw the battery into the
normal municipal waste system.

your trimmer, make sure the

cutting system and reverse the removal pro-
cedure, only this time place your thumb on the
large cutter and snap into place.
