TRIMMING AND EDGING YOUR BEARD
The following are suggested trimming steps and trimmer 
positions. You may find different procedures work better for 
you.
1. Comb your beard in the direction that it grows to help reveal 
stray hairs that may be longer than the others.
2. Attach the multi-position trimming guide to trim and taper 
your beard. Begin with the guide set at a long trimming length.  
Trim toward your chin in smooth, 
overlapping strokes, following the 
lay of your beard to avoid patchy 
results. If you trim against the way 
your beard naturally lays, the 
trimmer will cut the hair much 
shorter.  Adjust the trimming guide to 
progressively shorter settings until 
you reach the desired length of 
beard. You may wish to set the 
trimming guide attachment to cut 
closer near the ear and down under 
the chin, changing to a longer setting 
toward the front of the face and point 
of your chin. When the trimming 
guide is removed, it will remain at its 
last length setting until you change it.
Always be sure the trimming guide is 
locked solidly into the desired 
position before you start to trim.
3. To cut the outline of your beard, remove the trimming guide. 
Starting under your chin and working back toward your 
jawbone and ears, cut the outer 
perimeter of your beard underneath 
the jawbone. Continue the line all the 
way up to the ears and hairline.
4. Accentuate your beard line by 
using the trimmer in a downward 
motion. Start at the line you’ve 
created and, working from the chin 
back toward the ears, trim the area 
right under your beard line. 
5. Define the upper part of your beard 
using the same technique.
6. For a neater finished look, replace 
attachment blade with the detail 
blade. Use this blade for fine, detail 
trimming anywhere it is needed, such 
as at the sideburns near the ears, 
goatees, etc.
TRIMMING YOUR MUSTACHE
1. Comb your mustache.
2. To define the line of your mustache, begin with the trimmer 
blade. 
3. Now attach the 6-position trimming guide. Adjust it to a 
fairly long trimming length and begin trimming your mustache, 
starting at the top and working down to your upper lip, using 
slow, methodical strokes. Use progres-
sively closer settings to get the look and 
length you desire.
4. For tapering the mustache, hold the 
trimmer with the blades pointing 
upward. Set the trimming guide at a 
medium length. Starting in the middle of 
your mustache, taper with short upward 
strokes, working out toward the corners 
until a gentle shape is created on the 
bottom of your mustache.
5. As a finishing step, remove the 
trimming guide, replace the head so the 
detail blade, and make a definitive line 
at the bottom of your mustache.
BODY SCAPING 
Your trimmer makes for the perfect tool 
to groom areas below the neck. Using 
the same technique, as mentioned prior, 
you can groom wherever you feel a 
need.
TRIMMING WITH ATTACHMENT 
COMBS
Your trimmer includes three trimming 
attachments; stubble, medium and long.  
The stubble guide has 1 bar, the 
medium-cut attachment has two bars and the long-cut attach-
ment has three bars. These attachments are ideal for blend-
ing, tapering and defining beards, as well as for achieving a 
“close trim” stubble look around the face. To use the attach-
ments, go with the hair direction.  To achieve closer looks, go 
against the hair direction.
For the cleaning and care instructions of your trimmer, please 
download the Care Instructions.
