Precision facial grooming has never been easier than
with your new Conair SWITCHcut™ Complete Facial
Grooming System. With a simple slide of the button,
switch between the 30mm ground stainless steel trimmer
blade and the 8mm ground stainless steel detailing
blade. This all-purpose trimmer has high carbon stain-
less steel blades for long-lasting cutting precision. The
trimmer features turbo power for 15% more cutting
power, and a 3-position taper control switch to trim
hair at the length you set; the system includes 3 jawline
combs, a 10-position adjustable comb for the trimmer
blade, a mustache comb, a drawstring accessories
pouch to hold all components, a charging stand for
the trimmer, lubricating oil, and a cleaning brush. The
red LED light on the trimmer indicates when the unit
is charging.
Your SWITCHcut ™ trimmer incorporates our patent-
pending SWITCHcut ™ technology. When you have
finished trimming with the 30mm trimmer blade, it is
just a simple slide of a button to change from the main
trimming blade to the 8mm detailing blade for tight areas
and precision detail. This easy motion, which can be
done when the trimmer’s power is on or off, disengages
the trimmer blade and activates the detailing blade. To
change back to the trimmer blade, just simply slide the
button back and the detailing blade retracts. The trimmer
blade is now ready to use again. Be sure to push the top
housing to the front or rear to the outmost position until a
'click' is felt for the selection of Scribe or Trimmer blade
function. NOTE: Before switching between the trimmer
and detailing blades, all guide combs must be removed
from the unit. Do not switch blades during cutting.
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 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 position.
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 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.

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 down-
ward. 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 that 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. 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 manu-
facturer—to trim your beard and mustache.
turbo feature
This product is equipped with a turbo boost button.
When activated, this feature will provide 15% more cut-
ting power. This is especially useful for cutting through
thicker hair.
To activate the turbo feature:
1. 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 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
main 30mm trimmer blade.
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 of the type of beard or mus-
tache 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
10-position comb for use
with the hair trimming blade
(2-6.5mm) which provide
lengths of 2mm (shortest) to
6.5mm (longest).
2. To use the 10-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.)
When using the 10-position
comb, turn the wheel at the
bottom of the comb counter-
clockwise, the setting (1-10)
will read the designated trim-
