how To Use
Trimming Beards
■
Before you begin, comb your hair in the direction that it
grows so that the hairs are at their maximum height and
facing in the same direction.
■
Determine how much hair you want to cut and position the
hair length selector accordingly. Remember, until you are
familiar with using the trimmer, it’s always better to select
a longer hair setting initially in order not to trim too much
hair.
■
Turn the unit’s power switch to ON, and begin trimming.
■
Beard, mustache, or sideburn hairs should be dry. Avoid
using lotions before using your trimmer.
■
When finished trimming, turn the unit’s power switch
to OFF.
To Trim the Beard’s hair Length
■
Trimmer guard attachment is on.
■
Turn the trimmer so the front of the cutting unit is facing
away from you.
■
Start trimming under your chin and, following your jaw
bone line, work toward your ear and upper
beard line using an upward motion. Allow the
hair length selector attachment to follow the
contours of your face. You may trim either
against or with the direction of beard growth,
whichever is preferred.
To Define the Beard Line
■
Remove trimmer guard attachment.
■
Hold trimmer vertically with trimmer cutting blades facing
you.
■
Start with edge of beard line, and with the cutting
blades
resting lightly against your skin, use motions
towards edge of beard line to trim the beard line
to desired location in facial area and away from
beard in neck area.
To Thin and Taper the Beard
■
Trimmer guard attachment is off.
■
Use a small comb to comb and hold the beard
hairs in place while trimming.
■
Holding the trimmer horizontally with the cutting
unit facing away from you, move the trimmer
along the length of the comb.
Creating the “Stubble Look”
■
Trimmer guard attachment should be on and set
to position 1 (0 mm) or 2 (2.5 mm).
■
Hold trimmer horizontally with the cutting unit fac
ing either up or down.
■
Trim hairs using an upward or downward motion against or
with the direction of hair growth, whichever is preferred.
■
For an even closer “stubble look,” remove the hair length
selector attachment and repeat the previous two
steps. However, caution must be taken not to
remove too much hair, creating a “blotchy” look.
To Trim Mustache and Sideburns
Without trimmer guard attachment
■
Remove trimmer guard attachment.
■
Place a finger on upper lip only to lift hair up, away from
skin.
■
Trim hairs using an upward motion.
■
After achieving desired length, use a downward motion to
blend mustache hairs.
NOTE: Use slow and light pressure. Too much pres-
sure may trim off more hair than desired.
■
Turn trimmer off.
To trim sideburns
■
Comb sideburns following the direction
of your hair growth.
■
Be certain trimmer guard attachment is ON.
■
Hold trimmer vertically with front of rimmer facing you.
■
Trim sideburns using a downward motion.
■
Turn trimmer OFF.
Trimming the Nape of Your Neck
■
You will need a hand mirror for this operation if performing it
alone. The mirror is not necessary if trimming is performed by a
second person.
■
Remove the hair length selector attachment.
■
Use your fingers to lift the hair at the base of your head up
off the neck. Your index finger should be covering the roots
of the hairs you are lifting to prevent accidental removal by t
rimmer.
■
Using your other hand, hold the trimmer horizontally to the
base of your neck with the cutting unit facing up, and move
the trimmer along the length of the neck until the
unit touches your finger covering the hair roots at
the base of your head. Repeat this procedure for
the entire area of the neck. Be sure to move the
unit slowly when performing this operation and to
keep the hair roots at the base of your head out of the way
of the trimmer.
■
Use the hand mirror to inspect the results of the operation
and ensure all hairs along the nape of the neck have been
trimmed.
