Beard Trimming

• Use this Trimmer for its intended household use as described in this manual.
• Trimming facial hair is easier when skin and hair are dry.
• Always comb the beard and/or moustache with a fine comb before you start trimming.
• If you are trimming for the first time, be careful. Do not move the Trimmer too fast. Make smooth and gentle movements.

Trimming with the Comb

1. Be certain Trimmer is in the OFF position.
2. Slide the comb into the guiding grooves on both sides of the Trimmer. You will hear a 'click'.
   
3. Turn the Zoom Wheel to the desired trimming length setting. The setting selected is shown on the front of the appliance.
   

• You can select a length from 1/64 in/0.4mm to 9/32 in/7mm.
• If you are trimming for the first time, start by using the comb at the maximum trimming length setting (9/32 in/7mm) to prevent accidentally trimming hairs too short. As you become familiar with the settings, adjust Zoom Wheel to desired trimming length. Zoom Wheel will "click" into position at each setting.

4. Press the ON/OFF button to turn Trimmer ON.
   
5. To trim in the most effective way, move the Trimmer against the direction of hair growth. 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 may want to try different trimming positions (i.e., upwards, downwards, or across). Practice is best for optimum results.
6. If cut hairs have accumulated in the comb, turn Trimmer off, remove the comb and blow and/or shake the hair out of the comb. The selected trimming length setting will not change when you do this.
