• For the first 3 chargings: Plug in trimmer with the  on/off switch on position «0» 

and charge it for at least 4 hours. The pilot light indicates that the trimmer is 
charging. When the rechargeable battery is fully charged, the pilot light will 
noticeably weaken. If later on, the pilot light comes on again, this indicates that 
the trimmer is being recharged to maintain its full capacity.

• Once the trimmer is completely charged, use it without the cord until discharged.

• Then recharge to full capacity again (subsequent charges will take about 1 hour).

• A full charge will give up to 30 minutes of cordless trimming depending on 

your beard. However, the maximum capacity will only be reached after several 
charging/discharging cycles.

• Best environmental temperature range for charging is 60 °F to 95 °F / 15 °C to 35 °C.

• If the rechargeable battery is discharged, you may also operate the trimmer by 

plugging it into an outlet. (If the trimmer does not run immediately, charge it for 
approx. 1 minute.)

 

1 Normal setting for beard and contour trimming
2 High speed setting for strong beard and difficult areas (e.g. chin)

 

• Place the distancing comb on the beard trimmer while the on/off switch is on 

position «0». 

• To start trimming, press the on/off switch and push it up to the desired beard 

length. You may choose between 6 settings: approx. 1, 3, 6, 9, 12, 16 mm.

• It is advisable to begin with the highest setting and then reduce the setting until 

you reach the desired beard length.

• Hold the distancing comb with the angled edge against your beard and guide 

the trimmer against the direction of hair growth.
 

• As you become familiar with beard length settings, you may want to adjust the 

memory switch to your preferred beard length setting by sliding it up. With the 
preset memory switch, the motor will not start before the on/off switch has 
reached the memory switch setting.

• To avoid clogging the distancing comb with hair, clean it from time to time with 

the brush. Please note that the distancing comb can only be taken off, when the 
trimmer is turned off. 

 

• The contour trimmer is ideal for precisely outlining beard contours, for shaping 

partial beards and also for removing long single hairs.

• To use the contour trimmer, take off the distancing comb. Tip (tilt) the twin 

cutter system so that the narrow contour cutter locks in the upper position.

 

• After each use, take off the distancing comb and slightly shake or brush hair 

from the beard trimmer and the distancing comb.

• Press the release buttons to lift off the twin cutter system. Using the brush, 

clean the twin cutter system and the inside of the trimmer.

• To keep the twin cutter system working properly, we recommend that you oil 

the cutting system regularly with light machine oil.

• Then click the twin cutter system back to original position by pushing forward. 

 

In order to maintain the capacity and life of the rechargeable battery, the trimmer 
has to be discharged by regular use approximately every 6 months. Then 
recharge to full capacity again. Do not keep the trimmer on permanent charge.
