Optimising the lifetime of the rechargeable battery
When you have charged the appliance for the first time, we advise you to
use it until the battery is completely empty.
Do not recharge the appliance in between the trimming sessions.
Continue to use the appliance until the motor almost stops running during
a session. Then recharge the battery. Follow this procedure at least twice a
year.
Trimming
Always comb the beard and/or moustache with a fine comb before you
start trimming.
When you trim for the first time, be careful. Do not move the trimmer
too fast. Make smooth and gentle movements.

To trim most effectively, move the trimmer against the hair growth
direction. Make sure the surface of the comb always stays in contact
with the skin (Fig. 5).

If a lot of hair has accumulated in the beard trimming comb,
remove the comb and blow and/or shake the hair out of it. The
selected setting does not change when you do this (Fig. 6).
Never pull at the flexible top of the beard trimming comb. Always pull at
the bottom part.

Use the trimmer without beard trimming comb to trim full beards and
single hairs.

Never pull at the flexible top of the beard trimming comb. Always pull at
the bottom part.

Make well-controlled movements. Touch the hair lightly with the
trimmer (Fig. 9).
