Usage Tips
Grooming
■
Hairs should be dry and free of lotions
when using your groomer.
■
Comb hairs outward so they are at their
maximum height and facing in the
same direction.
■
Make sure the groomer does not have
damaged or broken cutter units, which
could cause injury if used.
Beard
What to use:
wide trimmer
head + comb attachment
■
Attach the desired
hair length comb to
the groomer head as
described on the
previous page.
■
Set the comb to the desired trim
length. It’s usually a good idea to use
a longer setting until you are familiar
with the groomer, to avoid trimming
too much hair.
■
Turn the groomer on.
■
Start under your chin and, following
your jaw line, trim toward your ear and
upper beard line using an upward
motion. Allow the comb attachment
to follow the contours of your face.
Thinning and tapering
What to use:
wide trimmer
■
Turn the groomer on.
■
Use a small comb to
hold the beard hairs
in place while
trimming.
■
Holding the groomer with the cutting
unit facing away from you, move the
groomer along the length of the comb.
Beard line
What to use:
wide trimmer
■
Turn the groomer on.
■
Hold the groomer with the trimmer
cutting blades facing you.
■
Lightly touch the cutting blades to your
face and draw the groomer toward your
beard line. For your neck, draw the
groomer away from desired beard line.
Ear
Ear canal
What to use:
nose/ear trimmer head
■
Turn the groomer on.
■
Gently insert
groomer’s cutting
unit into the outer ear
canal. For safe
trimming, avoid
inserting the groomer
more than 1/4 inch into the ear canal.
■
Rotate the groomer in a circular motion,
gently moving it in and out as you rotate.
Outer ear
What to use:
nose/ear trimmer head
■
Turn the groomer on.
■
Carefully guide the groomer around
surfaces of the ear where there are
unwanted hairs.
Mustache
What to use:
wide trimmer
■
Use a small comb to
straighten hairs for
trimming.
■
Turn the groomer on.
■
Lightly touch the cutting blades to the
mustache. Too much pressure may trim
more hair than desired.
■
Since all hairs do not grow in the same
direction, you may want to try trimming
upwards, downwards, or across.
■
Practice will produce optimum results.
Nape of Neck
What to use:
wide trimmer
■
Use a hand mirror if you are trimming
the nape of your neck yourself. A mirror
is unnecessary if
someone else is
trimming it for you.
■
Lift the hair up off the
neck, and use your
index finger to cover
the roots of any hair you DON’T want
to trim. This will serve as a bumper
to prevent accidentally trimming too
much hair.
■
Turn the groomer on and hold it
base-side up, as shown.
■
Touch the cutting edges to your neck,
and move the groomer slowly up your
neck until it touches the finger that’s
covering the roots of your hair.
Nose
What to use:
nose/ear trimmer head
■
Turn the groomer on.
■
Insert groomer’s cutting unit gently into
the nostril. For safe trimming, avoid
inserting the groomer more than 1/4
inch into your nostril.
■
Rotate the groomer in
a circular motion
around the opening
of the nostril, gently
moving it in and out
as you rotate.
