Warning
Check if the voltage indicated on the adapter and on
the appliance corresponds to the local mains voltage
before you connect the appliance.
The adapter contains a transformer. Do not cut
off the adapter to replace it with another plug, as
this causes a hazardous situation.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons

Remove the clipping attachment from the handle
before you clean the clipping attachment under the

Caution
Never immerse the handle in water or any other
liquid, nor rinse it under the tap.
Do not use the appliance in the bath or in the

If the adapter is damaged, always have it replaced
with one of the original type in order to avoid a
hazard.
Do not use the appliance when the clipping
attachment or one of the combs is damaged or

Do not charge the appliance for more than 24 hours.
1 Make sure the appliance is switched off.
2 Insert the small plug into the socket of the
appliance and put the adapter in the wall
socket (Fig. 3).
3 After a few seconds, the charging light goes on to
indicate that the appliance is charging (Fig. 4).
Note: The charging light does not change colour and does
not go out when the appliance is fully charged.
Optimising the lifetime of the rechargeable
batteries
To optimise the lifetime of the batteries, follow the
instructions below:
After the appliance has been charged for the first
time, do not recharge it between clipping sessions.
Continue using it and recharge it only when the
batteries are almost empty.
Remove the adapter from the wall socket when the
batteries are fully charged (which takes 10 hours).
Discharge the batteries completely twice a year
by letting the motor run until it stops. Then fully
recharge the batteries.
Corded clipping
Note: Only run the appliance from the mains when the
rechargeable batteries are empty.
Note: If the batteries are completely empty, wait a few
minutes before you switch on the appliance.
1 Switch off the appliance.
2 Insert the small plug into the appliance and put the
adapter in the wall socket (Fig. 3).
3 After a few seconds, switch on the appliance.
Using the appliance
Preparing for hair clipping
Only use the appliance on clean, dry hair. Do not use it
on freshly washed hair.
1 Make sure that the head of the person whose hair
you intend to cut is at the same level as your chest.
This ensures that all parts of the head are clearly
visible and within easy reach.
2 Comb the hair in the growth direction (Fig. 5).
Clipping with comb
The appliance comes with three combs for 15 different
hair lengths.
The minimum remaining hair length is 1.6mm and the
maximum remaining hair length is 41mm.
1 Select the comb you want to use.
The table shows how long the hair will be after clipping at
the different settings of the small comb and large comb.

Tip: Write down the settings you have used to create a
certain hairstyle as a reminder for future clipping sessions.

To create a ‘stubble look’, clip with the small comb
set to setting 1 (3mm) first.

Then clip the hair with the stubble comb for a hair
length of 1.6mm.
2 Slide the selected comb into the guiding grooves on
both sides of the handle (‘click’) (Fig. 6).
3 To set the comb to the desired setting, press the
setting selector (1) and slide the comb to the
desired hair length setting (2) (Fig. 7).
The setting indications on the comb show the
selected setting.
4 Switch on the appliance.
5 Move the appliance through the hair slowly.
To clip in the most effective way, move the appliance
against the direction of hair growth.
Since all hair does not grow in the same direction,
you need to move the appliance in different
directions (upward, downward or across) (Fig. 8).
Make sure that the flat part of the comb is always
fully in contact with the scalp to obtain an even
result.
Make overlapping passes over the head to ensure
that you cut all the hair that needs to be cut.
To achieve a good result with curly, sparse or long
hair, use a hand comb to guide the hair towards the
appliance.
6 Regularly remove cut hair from the comb.
If a lot of hair has accumulated in the comb, remove
the comb from the appliance and blow and/or shake the
hair out of it.
Contouring without comb
You can use the appliance without comb to clip hair very
close to the skin (0.6mm) or to contour the neckline and
the area around the ears.
Be careful when you clip without comb because the
cutting element removes every hair it touches.
1 Pull the comb off the appliance (Fig. 9).
2 Before you start to contour the hairline around the
ears, comb the hair ends over the ears.
3 Tilt the appliance in such a way that only one edge
of the cutting element touches the hair ends when
you shape the contours around the ears (Fig. 10).
Only cut the hair ends. The hairline should be close to
the ear.
4 To contour the neckline and sideburns, turn the
appliance and make downward strokes (Fig. 11).
Move the appliance slowly and smoothly. Follow the
natural hairline.
Cleaning
Never use compressed air, scouring pads, abrasive
cleaning agents or aggressive liquids such as petrol or
acetone or ethereal oils to clean the appliance.
Note: The appliance does not need any lubrication.
Clean the appliance every time you have used it.
1 Make sure the appliance is switched off and
disconnected from the mains.
2 Remove the comb from the appliance.
3 To remove the clipping attachment, turn it
anticlockwise until the open dot on the handle is
aligned with the arrow on the attachment (1). Then
lift the attachment off the handle (2) (Fig. 12).
4 Push the centre top end of the cutting element
upwards with your thumb until it opens and then
pull it off the appliance (Fig. 13).
Be careful that the cutting element does not fall on the
floor.
5 Clean the cutting element with warm water (max.
40°C).
6 Clean the clipping attachment under warm
running water to flush out the cut hair that has
accumulated in the attachment (Fig. 14).
7 After cleaning, place the lug of the cutting element
in the slot of the clipping attachment and push
the cutting element back onto the clipping
attachment (Fig. 15).
8 Clean the handle and the adapter with the cleaning
brush supplied or a dry cloth.
Note: The handle and the adapter are not water-proof.
