send the appliance to one of our customer
service departments. The addresses can be
found in the appendix to this manual.
Charging process
Before using the appliance for the first time the
battery must be fully charged for a period of
approximately 12 hours. However, the
appliance can remain on charge for a longer
period without damage or danger.
Should you experience a considerable
decrease in trimming performance, switch off
the appliance and recharge the battery. The
hair trimmer may also be used by means of
the adaptor. In this case, however, the battery
must be briefly charged for approximately 10
minutes. The charging process starts only once
the unit is switched off and is visible by the
charge indicator.
- With the appliance switched off, insert the
connecting plug of the adaptor into the
corresponding jack on the main unit.
- Insert the adaptor into a suitable wall
socket. The charging process begins
automatically and is shown by the charge
indicator on the appliance. The indicator
remains lit as long as the charging base is
connected to the mains power.
The charging process only starts if the unit
has been switched off.
- Once the charging process is complete,
always remove the adaptor from the wall
socket first before disconnecting the plug
from the appliance.
- Whilst charging, the transformer within the
adaptor will become warm. This is perfectly
normal and safe and does not indicate a
malfunction of any kind.
- If the appliance has not been used for a
long period of time, the capacity of the
battery may decrease by a certain amount.
However, full capacity will be restored after
several charging/discharging cycles.
Operation
Adjusting the cutting length
The push-on attachment combs allow for
adjusting the cutting length and are fitted over
the trimming comb. The combs have the
following sizes: 3 mm, 6 mm, 9 mm and 12
mm. The thinning head is useful for thinning
out the hair. Unlock and remove the
attachment after use.
A few remarks on cutting hair
■
Before each use, always put a few drops of
acid-free oil between the trimming comb
and the trimming blade.
- Always start with the largest push-on comb.
- The hair should first be combed, and then
generally cut against its natural direction.
- For longer hair-cuts use a push-on comb or
a normal comb.
- Cut from bottom to top with the trimming
comb lying against the head; lead the
appliance upwards through the hair, moving
it gradually away from the head at the same
time.
- For a shaped cut, reverse the appliance
and shorten the hair from top to bottom
without using the push-on comb.
- The thinning head is useful for thinning out
certain parts of the hair by a third, eg for
modern, short-style hair. Cut the areas to
be thinned against the natural direction of
growth.
Cleaning and Care
General
■
It is essential to switch off the appliance
and remove the adaptor from the wall
socket before cleaning and oiling.
■
For safety reasons, the electric hair trimmer
and the adaptor must not be immersed in
liquid or even allowed to come into contact
with liquid.
- If necessary, the housing may be wiped
with a smooth dry cloth.
