PURPOSE OF USE
■
The hair clipper is suitable for cutting clean, dry or very lightly dampened hair or
beards. The hair clipper is not intended for cutting freshly washed hair, clipping
synthetic hair or animal fur.
■
The hair clipper is intended for domestic use and is not intended for business
activities or other professional areas of use.
CHARGING THE HAIR CLIPPER
■
The hair clipper can be charged in two ways:
- by means of an external device with a USB port (e.g. computer, USB hub,
powerbank, etc.).
- by means of a standard USB adapter connected to a power socket.
Note
:
The selected power source must have an output of 5 V DC, 1000 mA.
■
Insert the smaller USB connector into the socket at the bottom of the hair clipper
and the larger connector into the selected power source.
■
The charging indicator on the switch
A4
will be lit red during the charging process.
The charging time differs depending on the current battery power level. If the
battery is completely discharged (flat), a full charge will take approximately 120
minutes.
■
When the battery is fully charged, the indicator will be lit green. Disconnect the
power cord from the hair clipper and from the power source.
Attention:
Do not leave the hair clipper connected to the power source for
longer than is necessary to charge it.
■
A fully charged hair clipper battery will provide up to 60 minutes of cordless
operation. Then it is necessary to charge the battery again.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR EXTENDING THE LIFETIME OF THE
BATTERY
■
In order for the built-in battery to serve you as long as possible, charge, use and
store the hair clipper in a dry environment at an ambient temperature of 15- 35 °C.
Lower or higher temperatures have a negative impact on the lifespan of the battery.
■
We recommend charging the battery only after leaving it to fully discharge.
■
When the hair clipper is not used for an extended period of time, charge it at least
once every 6 months.
OPERATION
LUBRICATING THE CUTTING UNIT
■
To ensure the correct movement of the cutting unit, it is recommended to lubricate
the cutting unit before first use and several uses afterwards.
■
Apply two drops of lubricating oil on to the cutting unit and spread it out evenly.
Wipe off excess oil using a clean, dry cloth.
Attention:
Store the lubricating oil away from fire sources and out of
children's reach.
Do not ingest the lubricating oil and prevent it from coming into
contact with the eyes. If contact with the eyes does occur, rinse
them out with cold water and if necessary seek medical help.
PREPARATION BEFORE THE HAIRCUT
■
Only use the hair clipper on dry clean hair or lightly dampened hair. Do not use it
on wet and freshly washed hair or hair with gel applied on to it, etc. Trim beards
when they are dry without the use of shaving gels or foams.
Attention:
Do not use the hair clipper if you have open wounds, cuts or
blisters on your skin.
Before starting any styling of hair or beards, acquaint yourself with the operating
instructions.
■
You can use the hair clipper to clip your own or other people's hair. When clipping
somebody else's hair, seat them so that their head is at the level of your chest. This
will provide for a comfortable cutting position. Before cutting hair, thoroughly comb
out the hair in the growth direction.
■
Cover your neck and shoulders or that of the person whose hair you will be cutting
with a towel to limit cut hair from falling on clothes.
■
Prior to every use, check that the cutting unit is clean.
■
Prior to every use, check the cutting unit and the comb attachment for damage.
Never use a hair clipper with a damaged cutting unit or comb attachment.
CUTTING WITHOUT THE COMB ATTACHMENT
■
You may use the hair clipper without a comb attachment, for example, to trim
beards very close to the skin or to trim the neckline or the area around the ears.
Attention:
The blades of the cutting unit will cut off all hair, beards or
nose and ear hair that comes into contact with them, therefore
be especially careful when handling the hair clipper while it is
running.
■
Set the appropriate cutting height by turning the regulator
A3
. If you are using the
hair clipper for the first time, it is recommended to first try a longer cut and only
thereafter adjust the setting to a shorter cut.
■
Turn the hair clipper on and off using switch
A4
.
■
When you have finished using the hair clipper, always clean it according to the
instructions in chapter Cleaning and maintenance.
CUTTING THE COMB ATTACHMENT
■
The hair clipper comes with a comb attachment
A6
for greater cutting variability.
Attention:
Put a comb attachment on to the cutting unit before turning
on the hair clipper and always turn the hair clipper off before
removing it.
■
Slide the attachment into the grooves of the hair clipper from above, see fig.
B
.
Always check that the attachment is properly attached.
■
Set the appropriate cutting height by turning the regulator
A3
. If you are using the
hair clipper for the first time, it is recommended to first try a longer cut and only
thereafter adjust the setting to a shorter cut.
■
Turn the hair clipper on and off using switch
A4
.
■
When you have finished using the hair clipper, always clean it according to the
instructions in chapter Cleaning and maintenance.
ADVICE AND TIPS
■
When using a comb attachment, start cutting with the largest cutting height and
then gradually reduce the set hair cutting height.
■
Record the used height setting for certain hairstyles so that you do not need to
spend time adjusting it the next time.
■
It is most effective to cut counter to the direction of hair growth.
■
Because hair grows in various directions, it is also necessary to move the hair clipper
in various directions (upwards, downwards or crosswise).
■
Repeat individual passes so that you cut also the hair that you did not cut in the
previous passes.
■
Ensure that the flat part of the comb attachment is in full contact with the scalp. This
will ensure an even haircut result.
■
To achieve good results on curly, sparse or long hair, you can try using a comb to
lead the hair towards the hair clipper.
■
Trim beards by slowly moving counter to the growth direction of the beard, going
from the bottom upwards. When trimming beards using a comb attachment, keep
in mind that the comb attachment must be in constant contact with the skin in
order to ensure an even cut. After reattaching an attachment on to the cutting unit,
do not forget to set the cutting height again.
■
Regularly clean away hair and whiskers from the cutting unit. In the event that
a large amount of hair or whiskers accumulates in the hair container, take it off the
hair clipper and tap the hair or whiskers out of it. The container can be rinsed under
running water and then wiped dry.
