detaching the attachments' in chapter
'Preparing for use'). (Fig. 8)
Switch on the appliance. (Fig. 10)

Trimming with precision trimming
head with trimming comb
Put the precision trimming head on the
1
appliance (see section 'Attaching and
detaching the attachments' in chapter
'Preparing for use'). (Fig. 8)
Choose the short, medium or long trimming
2
comb, depending on the desired hair length.
The indications 'M' and 'L' (BRT383 only) are
on the combs.
-
Medium trimming comb (M): 3mm
-
BRT383 only: Long trimming comb (L): 5mm
Tip BRT383: We advise you to start trimming with
the long comb.
Slide the trimming comb onto the front
3
of the precision trimming head and push
it onto the back until it locks into place
('click'). (Fig. 14)

pressure against the direction of hair growth.
(Fig. 15)
Note: To make trimming easier, stretch the skin with
your free hand during trimming (Fig. 16).
Note: Make sure that the flat part of the comb always
touches the skin to obtain an even result (Fig. 17).
Note: Do not press the appliance with the comb onto
the skin too hard. This may cause the appliance to trim
the hairs shorter than the length indicated on the comb.
Note: In areas where the hair grows in different directions,
move the appliance upwards, downwards and sideways.
Regularly remove cut hairs from the comb.
6
If a lot of hairs have accumulated in the comb,

in contact with the skin. As hairs grow in
different directions, move the appliance in
different directions (upwards, downwards
and sideways) (Fig. 19).
Switch off the appliance (Fig. 13).
