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.
