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 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,
charge it for 16 hours. Always charge the
trimmer with the ON/OFF switch in the OFF
position.
2. Always check to see if the charging light is on
when you charge the trimmer.
3. Plug the adaptor into any wall outlet (at
the voltage 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.
6. Maximum battery capacity will only be reached
after three complete charging and discharging
cycles.
7. To maintain the optimum capacity of the
rechargeable batteries, the trimmer should be
recharged for 16 hours approximately every
three months.
uSer maIntenance

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.
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.
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 needed.
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 closest
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 clipper 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. Note: The taper control only
works with the facial hair trimmer.
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 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.
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 a five position comb for
use with the hair trimming blade (2-10mm)
which provide lengths of 3/32" (shortest) to
3/8" (longest).
2. To use the 5-position comb, slide the unit over
the trimmer blades and snap it down into
position. 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 attachment to a
shorter setting (such as
3/32" or 5/32") and go over your beard again
until you achieve the desired length.

lubrIf Ica tIon de S lame S
Lubrifiez les lames environ une fois par mois
avec l’huile fournie dans la trousse. F aites-le au-
dessus d’un papier journal. Mettez la tondeuse
en marche et tenez-la les lames pointant vers le
bas. Étalez une goutte d’huile sur les lames puis
éteignez la tondeuse. Essuyez l’excédent d’huile
avec un linge doux.
N’utilisez pas trop d’huile et ne lubrifiez pas
les lames plus qu’il ne le faut car vous pourriez
endommager le moteur . (Ne lubrifiez jamais
le rou lem ent d u mot eur c ar il est s cel lé. )
Apr ès avo ir lub rifi é les l am es, r em ette z la
tondeuse et le contenant d’huile sur le support
de rangement. Gardez l'huile hors de la portée
des enfants.
entretIen de S lame S
Comme les lames sont fabriquées a vec préci -
sion pour un usage très spécial, vous devriez en
prendre bien soin. Chaque fois que vous utilisez
la tondeuse, netto yez les lames a vec la petite
brosse fournie.
Une attention particulière doit être apportée lors
du changement ou de l’ajustement des lames.
Quand vous faites réparer la tondeuse, assurez-
vous de faire affûter les deux lames ou de les
remplacer en même temps.
Pour prolonger la durée utile de la tondeuse, ne
l’utilisez que pour l’usa ge prévu - tailler la barbe
et la moustache.
