Preparation
Charging the clipper
• Make sure that the clipper is turned off.
Connect the appliance plug to the

household outlet.
 
• Charging is completed after approx. 
8 hours.
 
• Check that the charge indicator lamp 
(
) glows.

Disconnect the adaptor after charging is completed.
(for safety and to reduce energy usage)
The charge indicator lamp (
) continues to glow after 
charging is complete. There is no indication to show that 
“charging is complete”.
Notes
• If there is crackling noise on radios or other devices while 
charging, charge the clipper using a different household outlet.
• When the appliance is not used for 6 months or more, the battery 
will weaken (leak battery fluid, etc.). Fully charge the battery 
once every 6 months.
• When charging the clipper for the first time or when it has not 
been in use for more than 6 months, the charging time may 
change or the lamp on the main body may not glow for a few 
minutes. Please charge it for more than 16 hours in such cases.
• Recommended ambient temperature for charging is 0 °C – 35 °C. 
Battery performance may decrease outside of the recommended 
temperature.
• A full charge supplies enough power for approximately 
40 minutes of use. 
The operating time may differ depending on the frequency of 
use, the operating method and the ambient temperature.
• You can charge the battery before it is completely discharged. 
However, it is recommended to charge when the battery is 
completely discharged. The battery life depends strongly on 
factors such as how it is used and stored.
Using the clipper
• Make sure that the clipper is turned off.
• Apply the oil to the clipper before and after each use.  
(See page 15.)
• The appliance may not operate in an ambient temperature 
approximately 0 °C or lower.
Mount the desired comb attachment and adjust 
the trimming height as needed. (See page 11.)
 
• It can also be used without the comb attachment. 
(Trimming height: approx. 0.5 mm)
Slide the power switch on the main body 
to the “ ” position to turn on the power.
Trimming hair

Trimming beard

AC operation
If you connect the AC adaptor to the clipper in the same way as for 
charging, and turn on the power, you can use it.
• If the remaining battery is too low, the blades may move slowly or 
stop, even with the AC operation. In this case, charge the battery 
for 3 minutes or more.
• The battery will be discharged, even with the AC operation.
