CHARGING YOUR HAIR CLIPPER
CORLESS USE
•
Before using your hair clipper for the first time, charge it for 24 hours.
•
You can charge your hair clipper in or out of the charging stand. Either plug
the adaptor connection directly into the bottom of the hair clipper, or by
placing the hair clipper in the stand and plugging the adaptor connection into
the back of the stand.
•
Ensure the product is switched off.
•
Connect the charging adaptor to the product and then to the mains. The
charging indicator will light up.
•
If the product is not going to be used for an extended period time (2-3
months), unplug it from the mains and store.
•
Fully recharge your hair clipper when you would like to use it again.
•
It is not advisable to use this hair clipper directly from the power outlet when
it has been fully charged, however, while using the hair clipper in cordless
mode, if there is a noticeable drop in power, you can use the hair clipper
directly from the power outlet.
•
To preserve the life of your batteries, let them run out every six months
then recharge for 24 hours.
CORDED USE
Connect the charging adaptor to the product and then to the mains.
When the cord is connected to the mains, a charging LED light is displayed
on the hair clipper.
CAUTION: Extended mains (corded) only use will result in the
reduction of the battery life.
NOTE: One multi-purpose charging adaptor is supplied in the pack.
HOW TO USE
BEFORE STARTING TO CUT
1. Inspect the hair clipper making sure that it is free from hair and dirt.
2. Ensure that the hair is thoroughly dry and tangle free
3. The blades on your hair clipper should be oiled before every haircut.
Simply place a few drops of oil on the teeth of the blades. Use only the light grade oil
supplied or a suitable alternative like sewing machine oil. Only this type of oil is
suitable due to the high oscillation speed of the blades on your Remington hair
clipper. Do not use hair oil, grease or any oil mixed with kerosene or any solvent as
the solvent will evaporate and leave the thick oil, slowing the blades.
If oil is not applied to the blades or only a small amount of oil is applied, this may
cause cutting problems. Blades will wear prematurely and not cut properly if they are
not sufficiently lubricated. There may also be a pulling sensation on the hair.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR HAIR CUTTING
NOTE: For even cutting, allow the trimmer comb/blade to cut its way through the
hair. Do not force it through quickly. If you are cutting for the first time, start with
the maximum length trimmer comb, until you know how short you would like
your hair to be.
NOTE: The comb guide lengths described for use in the steps below are an
example only, if you want a longer or shorter hair cut you will need to adjust the
comb guide lengths to suit your requirements.
