• Do not leave the appliance on charge in wet places and do not recharge the

appliance when it is wet.

• The appliance comes equipped with a NiMH battery. To help protect the envi-

ronment, the batteries should not be included with ordinary domestic waste,
but should be taken to a special collection point instead.

• When using the head for trimming nasal and ear hair, do not push the unit hard

into the nose or ears. Only the metal tip of the head should be inserted deli-
cately into the nose and ear cavities (1)

• Have the battery removed by qualified technical personnel or by the treatment

and recycling centre

• Do not expose the battery to liquid, moisture or high humidity
• Keep the battery away from magnetic fields, sources of heat and naked flames.
• Risk of scratches or cuts. If there is any damage to a comb, set of blades or

the nose and ear hair trimmer, do not use them: replace them immediately,
since they could cause injury to the skin, nose or ears.

• Take care not to scratch skin if using the appliance with a set of blades without

comb attachment.

SWITCHING ON AND SWITCHING OFF
To switch on the appliance turn the switch (fig. 1 - ref. 3) on position 1. To switch
it off move the switch back to position 0.

RECHARGING THE BATTERY
Note: The unit charge indicator (fig.1 ref. 4) works on a timer which switches the
red light on for 12 hours, after which it turns green. Therefore, in the event of a
power failure during charging, the timer is zeroed. Bear this in mind when charging
the appliance.
• Before using the appliance for the first time, charge the battery for 12 hours. For

subsequent charges, allow the appliance to charge for at least 8 hours.

• In order to optimise the lifetime of the battery, never charge the appliance for

more than 24 hours.

• Discharge the battery completely every few months, then recharge it again. This

optimises the lifetime of the battery.

• Switch the appliance off using the switch (fig.1 - ref.3).

The battery can only be charged with the appliance switched off.

• Connect the transformer to the base (fig.1 - ref.6) by plugging it into the base

socket (fig.1 - ref.7) and sit the unit on the base.

• Plug the transformer into the mains.
• During charging the led (fig.1 - ref.4) lights up to indicate charging in progress.
• Only recharge the battery when you note a clear reduction in appliance power.
• When the battery is fully charged, the appliance can be used for 30 minutes

without connection to the mains.

ADJUSTABLE COMB ATTACHMENT
The comb attachment can be adjusted (fig.1 ref.16) to 5 different positions (fig.2)
for various cutting lengths.
The various positions (2 mm, 4 mm, 6 mm, 8 mm and 10 mm) are shown on the
