cause
Solution
The

produces an
uneven
cutting
result.
The comb
does not
touch the

the hair.
You used the

wet hair.
Make sure the hair
is clean and dry. Do
not use the
appliance on wet
hair.
You only
move the
appliance in
one direction.
Move the
appliance in
different directions
(upward,
downward or
across), because
hair doesn't all
grow in the same
direction.
The comb is
not correctly
attached to
the cutting
unit.
Remove the comb
and reattach it. Put
the comb into the
slots on both sides
of the appliance
('click').
The cutting
unit and/or
the comb are
dirty.
Clean the cutting
unit and/or the
comb (see

The cutting
performance
decreases
when the

runs low.
Charge the battery
or connect the
