HOW TO USE YOUR TRIMMER

Here are a few tips for trimming facial hair (guide only). 

Tips for best results

•  Beard, moustache and sideburn hairs should be dry.
•  Avoid using lotions before using your trimmer. Comb your hair 

in the direction that it grows.

•  Remove trimmer comb attachments if you are: defining 

hairline edges such as sideburns, trimming the nape of your 

neck, trimming your beard line on front of neck.

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 wish to trim. Remember, until 

you are familiar with using the trimmer, it is better to select a 

longer hair length setting in order not to trim too much hair.

•  Turn the trimmer’s power switch ON and begin trimming.
•  Start trimming under your chin, and following your jawbone 

line. Trim hairs using a downward motion following the 

direction of your hair growth or trim against your hair growth, 

whichever is preferred. Work toward your ear and upper beard 

line using an upward motion. Allow the hair length attachment 

to follow the contour of your face.

•  When finished trimming, turn the power to OFF.

To Define the Beard Line

•  Start with the edge of the beard line and with the cutting 

blades resting lightly against your skin. Use downward 

motions towards the edge of the beard line to trim the  

beard line to the desired shape in the facial areas and  

around the neck.

To Trim the Edges of a Moustache

•  Moustache hairs should be dry.
•  Use a small comb to comb the hairs straight for trimming. 

Hold the trimmer with the Goatee trimmer blade facing you.

•  Trim hairs using a downward motion following the direction of

your hair growth or trim against your hair growth, whichever  

is preferred.

NOTE: Since all hairs do not grow in the same direction, you may 

want to try different trimming methods (i.e. upwards, downwards 

or across). Practice is best for optimum results.

•  After achieving the desired length, use a downward motion  

to blend moustache hairs. 

•  When finished trimming, turn the power to OFF.
NOTE: Use slow light pressure. Too much pressure may trim off 

more hair than desired.

To Trim Sideburns

•  Comb sideburns following the direction of your hair growth. 
•  Hold the trimmer vertically with either of the trimmer blades 

facing you.

•  Trim sideburns using a downward motion. 
•  When finished trimming, turn the power to OFF.

Trimming the Nape of Your Neck 

NOTE: You will need a hand mirror for this operation if performing 

it alone.

•  Before you begin, remove the attachable combs.
•  Use your fingers to lift the hair at the base of your head up off 

the neck. Your index finger should be covering the roots of the 

hairs you are lifting to prevent accidental removal by the trimmer.

•  Using your other hand, hold the trimmer to the base of your 

neck with the cutting unit facing up, and move the personal 

trimmer up the length of the neck until it touches your finger 

covering the hair roots at the base of your head.

•  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.

CLEANING AND MAINTAINING YOUR TRIMMER

•  Always clean the trimming system attachments regularly  

to ensure maximum performance and a proper operating life.

•  Unplug adaptor from wall outlet and ensure your trimmer  

is turned off

•  Remove the adjustable combs before cleaning.
