OPERATION
Blade alignment
The trimmer is checked carefully in the factory before delivery with regard to the alignment and
lubrication of the cutting blades.
However, the blades must be aligned every time after it has been dismantled for cleaning or
replacement.
Align the blades so that the upper blade’s teeth are approximately 1.2 mm behind the lower blade
(fig. 1).
If the alignment of the cutting blades is incorrect, apply a few drops of oil to the blades and operate
the machine for a few seconds. Then turn off the machine and disconnect it from the mains supply.
Undo the screws a little (fig. 2) and align the blades. Tighten the screws again.
Lubrication
To keep the machine in top condition, the cutting blades must be oiled at short intervals when
working (fig. 3).
Only use the oil supplied
– do not use hair oil, grease, oil mixed with paraffin or any solvents. Such
products evaporate and leave behind a thick coating of oil on the blades, causing the machine to
run slowly.

Blade adjustment lever
With this adjustment lever you can easily regulate the machine with your right thumb while the
machine is in use.
Using the lever, you can gradually change the cutting length without having to use a comb.
With the lever in the highest position (fig. 4) you obtain the shortest cutting length. This cuts the
hair very short. By gradually moving the lever down, the cutting length is gradually increased to a
corresponding extent.
In the lowest position, the machine cuts the hair to a length equivalent to a number 1 comb (3 mm).
