Using the appliance

1 mm to 23 mm. The settings correspond to the
remaining hair length after trimming.
Warning: Be careful when you trim for the first

smooth and gentle movements.
Tip: Start trimming at a high length setting and
reduce the length setting gradually until you have
reached the desired hair length.

well-controlled movements (Fig. 12).

Check the setting
of the comb. If you
push the appliance

The comb is
not assembled
correctly.
Detach the comb
and reattach it.
