INSTRUCTIONS
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 plug-
ging 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 posi-
tion.
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 and fixed
firmly.
3. Plug the adaptor into any wall outlet (at the volt-
age listed on the label affixed to the adaptor).
Unplug adaptor when not in use.
4. The adaptor may become warm while charging.
This is normal.
5. Battery life can be improved by periodically
allowing the trimmer to run until the motor
stops. Immediately shut the switch OFF and
fully recharge.
USER MAINTENANCE
INSTRUCTIONS
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 pro-
vided 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
THREE POSITION TAPER CONTROL
The Conair trimmer taper control switch is positioned
at the back of the unit. You can
hold the trimmer in your hand
and adjust the switch as need-
ed. The taper control eliminates
the need in some situations for
an attachment comb because
it lets you gradually adjust the
closeness of the cut. For clos-
est cut and shortest hair, push
switch all the way to level #3. This is the setting to
use for the 2 day shave look. To increase the cutting
length, slowly push control down to level #2 or #1 for
longer cut. Note that too much clipped hair on the clip-
per can slow down its operation. To remove it without
removing the blades simply use the enclosed cleaning
brush and gently sweep away the clipped hair from
cutting surfaces.
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 mustache that
would most suit your face, speak with a profes-
sional 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 trim-
mer. 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.
2. After you have combed through your beard in the
direction it grows naturally, you will want to outline
the desired shape, beginning 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.
NOW YOU’RE READY TO TRIM
YOUR BEARD
1. The trimmer includes 2 five position combs: a
narrow comb for use with the hair trimming blade
(2-10mm) and a wide comb to be used with the
facial hair blade (13-25mm) which provide lengths
of 3/32" (shortest) to 1" (longest).
2. To use the 5-position comb, slide the unit over
the trimmer blades and snap it down into posi-
tion. At first, until you become familiar with the
adjustments, use the longest trim setting. (You
can always go back and make your beard a little
shorter.)
3. Begin trimming your beard using smooth, even
strokes. Start with your sideburns and work
downward toward your chin. Never attempt to trim
against the natural growth of your beard because
the hair will be cut too short.
4. If you decide you want
a closer trim, you
can now adjust the
5-position comb attach-
ment to a shorter setting
(such as 3/32" or 5/32") and go over your beard
again until you achieve the desired length.
BLENDING THE JAWLINE
1. The three jawline attachments will help you to
achieve a neat, finished trim under your chin. To
use one of the attachments, press it down over the
trimmer blades until it clicks into position.
2. Hold the trimmer in an upright position and begin
trimming under your jawline, using short, even
strokes.
3. After your beard is blended, turn off the trimmer and
remove the attachment by gently pulling up on tab.
