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 is always better to select 

a longer hair setting initially in order 

not to trim too much hair.

To Trim the Beard’s Hair 

Length

■ 

Make sure Adjustable Comb and 

Beard Blade is on.

 Turn the trimmer so the front of the 

cutting unit (Zoom Wheel side) is 

facing away from you.

 Start trimming under your chin and, 

following your jawbone line, work 

toward your ear and upper beard 

line using an upward motion. Allow 

the Adjustable Comb 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 Adjustable Comb.

■ 

Hold trimmer vertically with cutting 

blades facing you.

 Start with edge of beard line. With 

the cutting blades resting lightly 

against your skin, use motions 

towards edge of beard line to trim 

it to desired location in facial area 

and away from beard in neck area.

■ 

For trimming in tight spots or small 

areas attach Goatee Blade.

Creating the “Stubble Look”

■ 

Adjustable Comb should be on  

and set to position 1 (1.5 mm) or 2 

(2.5 mm) and Stubble Blade should 

be attached (MB4040 only). 

 Hold trimmer horizontally with the 

cutting unit facing 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 Adjustable Comb and 

repeat the previous two steps.

To Trim Sideburns

■ 

Comb sideburns following the 

direction of your hair growth.

 Be certain Adjustable Comb 

attachment is on.

 Hold trimmer vertically with front of 

trimmer facing you.

 Trim sideburns using a downward 

motion.

Cleaning & Maintenance

Cleaning and Maintaining  

Your Trimmer

Clean your trimmer regularly to 

ensure that the unit’s operating life 

is not prematurely shortened. 

■ 

Unplug adapter from wall outlet 

and insure that your trimmer is 

turned off. 

 Do not use liquid cleaners on 

the cutters or harsh or corrosive 

chemicals on the unit’s main body.

■ 

Remove Adjustable Comb. Tap or 

blow out any excess hairs that 

may be on the comb.

 Use cleaning brush to brush away 

excess hair clippings from trimmer 

blade.

 The removable blades can be 

rinsed under water (Do Not rinse 

the main Trimmer Body). Rinse 

blade under warm running water 

for several seconds, making sure 

hair debris is removed from blade. 

Dry any excess water that may 

be on blade before reattaching. 

See "Quick Release Blades" for 

information on detaching and 

reattaching blade assembly.  

Do not rinse the trimmer body 

under water.

 If blade is rinsed, it is 

recommended to add 1 or 2 drops 

of sewing machine oil to the blade.

Troubleshooting

The trimmer does not work when 

turned on:

■ 

Trimmer must be charged for a  

full 24 hours initially.

Trimmer cutters do not move:

■ 

The cutting unit may be dirty and 

clogged. Clean the unit as directed in 

Cleaning & Maintenance section.

Trimmer does not hold charge:

■ 

Fully discharge battery by running 

trimmer until it stops; then follow 

recharging instructions (see section 

on "Operating Your Trimmer").

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 Adjustable Comb 

and make sure stubble blade is 

attached.

 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 trimmer.

 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.
