TRIMMING AND EDGING YOUR BEARD
The following are suggested trimming steps and trimmer positions.
You may find different procedures work better for you.
1. Comb your beard in the direction that it grows to help reveal
stray hairs that may be longer than the others.
2. Attach the 6-position trimming guide to trim and taper your
beard. Begin with the guide set at a long trimming length. Trim
toward your chin in smooth, overlapping strokes, following the lay
of your beard. If you trim against the way your beard naturally lays,
the trimmer will cut the hair much shorter and the result may be
patchy.
Adjust the trimming guide to progressively
shorter settings until you reach the desired
length of beard. You may wish to set the
trimming guide attachment to cut closer
near the ear and down under the chin,
changing to a longer setting toward the
front of the face and point of your chin.

CUTTING HAIR
The first time you cut the hair, cut only a small amount until you become
accustomed to how long each guide comb leaves the hair. Always start by
placing the largest guide comb on the clipper, then use shorter combs (or
settings - if using adjustable guide combs) if a shorter length is desired.
Remember, between professional haircuts, the hair grows evenly all over the
head and a light trimming at the lower neck and sides may
be all that is needed to bring back that neat, well-groomed
look.
For uniform cutting, allow the clipper to cut its way through
the hair. Do not force it through at a faster rate.
1. Start by combing the hair so it falls into its
natural direction.
2. Place the largest guide comb onto your
clipper and start by trimming the sides from
the bottom upwards. Hold the clipper lightly
against the hair, with teeth of the guide comb
Stubble Medium Full
pointing up but flat against the head. Slowly
lift the clipper up and outward through the
hair, cutting only a small amount at a time.
Repeat around sides and back of head.
If you desire shorter hair, either change to a shorter guide
comb (or setting - if using adjustable guide combs) or apply more pressure
and less lift away from head with the present attachment.

This entire procedure requires practice, and it is always better to leave too
much hair the first few haircuts.
For the top of the head, you will give a fairly short cut if you use the 1"
guide comb (If your kit includes the 1-1/4" or 1-1/2" guide comb, you
may use this for a slightly longer cut.) With the teeth flat against the head,
slowly start trimming from the front to the back. Again, it is better to leave

trimmer is turned "OFF - 0."
4. If your electricity is connected to a master power switch, we
suggest the trimmer be disconnected from the charger anytime
the master switch is off. Leaving the unit plugged into a dead
outlet or an unplugged charger will drain the battery.
5. If trimmer does not run and it is completely charged, turn the unit
"ON - I" and pinch or push the blades manually. (Oil may have
dried out between the blades, so they may be temporarily stuck
together.)
