Trimming Beards
■
Before you begin, comb your hair in the direction that it grows so that
the hairs are at their maximum 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 the Beard’s 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 trim-
mer 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 to comb and hold the beard hairs in place
while trimming.
■
Holding the trimmer 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 or down.
■
Trim hairs using an upward or downward
motion, against or with the direction of hair
growth, whichever you prefer.
■
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.

Trimming the Nape of Your Neck
■
You will need a hand mirror for this operation if performing it alone.
The mirror is not necessary if trimming is performed by a second
person.
■
Remove the trimmer guard attachment.
■
Use your fingers to lift the hair at the base of you
head up off the neck. Your index finger should be cov-
ering 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.
