of the Groomer.
I If you are trimming for the first time, start
by using the comb at the maximum trimming
length setting (15/32 in/12mm) to prevent
accidentally trimming hairs too short. As you
become familiar with the settings, adjust Hair
Length Setting Selector to desired trimming
length. Selector will ‘click’ into position at each
setting.
B Turn the Groomer ON (fig. 5).
□ To trim in the most effective way, move the
Groomer slowly against the direction of hair
growth (fig. 6). Make sure the surface of the
comb always stays in contact with the skin.
NOTE: Since all hairs do not grow in the same
direction, you mav want to try different trimming
positions (i.e.. upwards, downwards, or across).
Practice is best for optimum results.
I If a lot of hair has accumulated in the comb,
remove the comb and blow and/or shake the
hair out of the comb. You can also use the
cleaning brush provided to remove hair from

scalp hair. The Groomer should only be used

some discomfort, irritation or reddening of the
skin. This is normal as your skin needs time to
adjust to shaving.

trim hair with the body trimming comb first
for optimum shaving results.
► For dry use, be certain your skin is clean and
dry before using the Groomer.

lathered soap or shaving foam before using the
Groomer.
