Attaching/removing the attachment comb

(Fig. 6a).

Maintenance, cleaning and Care.
• Remove the attachment comb (Fig. 6b) after every use and lift the blade set out of the housing (Fig.
7a).
• Use the cleaning brush to remove any cut hairs from the housing opening and from the blade set
(Fig. 8).
• The cleaning lever (Fig. 8b) can also be pressed. This allows the cut hairs that accumulate between
the bottom blade and the top blade to be easily removed using the cleaning brush.
• Only wipe the appliance with a soft, slightly damp cloth
• Oil the blade set with the blade set oil (Fig. 9)
• For good and long-lasting cutting performance, it is important to oil the blade set frequently.
• If the cutting performance deteriorates after long use despite regular cleaning and oiling, the blade
set should be replaced.
Automatic sensor system
To give you advance notice of an urgent need for maintenance care, your hair cutting appliance has been
equipped with an automatic sensor system.
• The sensor system automatically recognises when the blade set needs oiling or cleaning.
• After the appliance is switched off, an acoustic signal will sound and the battery power indicator will
flash for 2 minutes.
• The acoustic signal and the flashing of the battery power indicator can be cancelled (turned off) by
briefly switching the appliance on and off.
• Before using the appliance again, it is strongly recommended to clean the appliance and oil the
blade set. See section Maintenance, Cleaning and care.
• Failure to observe these instructions may result in damage to and early failure of the appliance,
which will void all guarantee claims.
Changing the blade set
Removing the blade set:
1. Switch the appliance off using the on/off switch (Fig. 3a) and disconnect from the power supply.
2. Slide the blade set off the housing in the direction of the arrow (Fig. 7a). Remove the blade set.
Replacing the blade set:
1. Replace the blade set by hooking it into the housing. The small lug at the base of the blade should
be aligned with the indent on the clipper casing. Press the blade down until it clicks into position
(Fig. 7b).
Problem elimination
Blade set is cutting badly or pulling hair out.
Cause:
Blade set is dirty or worn.
• Clean and oil the blade set (Fig.8/9); if this does not resolve the problem, replace the blade set
(Fig. 7).
Battery life is too short.
Cause: Blade set and housing opening are dirty.
• Clean and oil the blade set (Fig. 8/9).
A blade set that is very dirty and has not been oiled can halve the available battery life! If the
blade set is clean and oiled and the battery life is still far too short, it is likely that the batteries are
nearing the end of their life.
•
Battery life generally decreases at a steady rate when the appliance is used on a day-to-day
