Put It To The Test
Like many new products, your Philips
Norelco
Beard and Head Trimmer may take a little getting
used to. If you are using an electric Trimmer for
the first time, or if you’ve been using a different
brand, take the time to acquaint yourself with your
new Trimmer.
Your Beard and Head Trimmer features a dynamic
beard guide system that lifts and guides hairs more
effectively for a more efficient cut so you can
create the exact look you want every time.
Throw your scissors away and put your new
Trimmer to the test. We guarantee precise,
professional results or Philips Norelco will refund
you the full purchase price as long as the request
is received within 45 days of purchase.
Before First Use
w
Charge the Trimmer fully before you start using
it for the first time or after a long period of
non-use.
Charging
Charge Indications
Low Battery
w
When the battery is almost empty, the battery
charge indicator blinks orange (fig. 1).
Charging
w

(fig. 3).
To Charge/Recharge

Continuously recharging Trimmer will reduce
lifespan of battery.

cord usage in some foreign countries. Use
an attachment plug adaptor of the proper
configuration for power outlet.

The battery charge indicator will blink to
indicate the Trimmer is charging (fig. 2).

hair are dry.
w
Always comb the beard and/or moustache with
a fine comb before you start trimming.

If you are trimming for the first time, be
careful. Do not move the Trimmer too fast.
Make smooth and gentle movements.
Trimming with the Comb
w
The Comb must be on Trimmer to use the
Zoom Wheel.

Be certain Trimmer is in the OFF position.
2
Slide the comb into the guiding grooves on
both sides of the Trimmer. You will hear a
'click' (fig. 7).

trimming length setting. The setting selected
is shown on the front of the appliance
(fig. 8).
w
You can select a length from 1/64 in/0.4mm to

w
If you are trimming for the first time, start by
using the comb at the maximum trimming

To trim in the most effective way, move the
Trimmer against the direction of hair growth.
Make sure the surface of the comb always

NOTE: Since all hairs do not grow in the
same direction, you may want to try different
trimming positions (i.e., upwards,
downwards, or across). Practice is best for
optimum results.

If cut hairs have accumulated in the comb,
turn Trimmer off, remove the comb and
blow and/or shake the hair out of the comb.
