■
For an even
closer “stubble
look,” remove
the trimmer
guard attachment
and repeat
the previous two steps. Be careful not
to remove too much hair, creating a
“blotchy” look.
Detail Trimming
■
Comb hairs outward so they are at their
maximum height.
■
Remove trimmer guard attachment.
■
Turn the power
switch to ON and
begin trimming.
■
Turn trimmer OFF.
To Trim Mustache
■
Place a finger on upper lip to extend hair
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 pressure 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
trimmer 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 neccessary
if trimming is performed by a second
person.
■
Remove the trimmer guard 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 trimmer.
■
Using your other hand, hold the trimming
edge horizontally against 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.

How to Use
Trimming Beards
■
Before you begin, comb your hair in the
direction that it grows so that the hairs
are at their maximun 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.
■
When finished trimming, turn the unit’s
power switch to OFF.
To Trim Beard Hair Length
■
Put trimmer
guard attachment
on.
■
Turn the trimmer
so the front of
the cutting unit 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 trimmer guard
attachment to follow the contours of your
face. You may trim either against or with
the direction of beard growth, whichever
you prefer.
To Define the Beard Line
■
Remove trimmer guard attachment.
■
Hold trimmer vertically with trimmer
cutting blades facing you.
■
Start with the edge of your beard line,
and with the cutting blades resting lightly
against your skin,
use motions
toward the edge
of beard line to
trim the beard
line to desired
location.
To Thin and Taper the Beard
■
Remove trimmer guard attachment.
■
Use the unit’s
styling comb or
another small
comb and hold
the beard hairs
in place while
trimming.
■
Holding the trimer 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
(1.5 mm) or
2 (2.5 mm).
■
Hold trimmer horizontally with the cutting
unit facing either up down.
■
Trim hairs using an upward or downward
motion, against or with the direction of
hair growth, whichever you prefer.
