Rechargeable-battery operation
Charge the battery by plugging the 

Trimmer into an AC source using 

the adapter. The switch should be 

set to 0·CHARGE during charging. 

An 8-hour charge will provide ap-

prox. 30 minutes of use.

AC operation
Plug the Trimmer into an AC power 

source using the adapter with the 

switch set to 0·CHARGE.Wait 

about 10 seconds, then switch the 

trimmer on. After use, return the 

switch to the 0·CHARGE position.

Trimming of Beard
Place the angled face of the comb 

against the skin and cut the beard 

by moving the trimmer in all direc-

tions to obtain a uniform cut. (See 

Fig. 5)

With curly facial hair, the comb 

attachment may not cut all of the 

hair. In this case, remove the comb 

attachment and use a conventional 

comb to draw out the remaining 

uncut hair.

(See Fig. 6)

When shaping the beard, remove 

the comb attachment. Place the 

angled edge against the skin and 

make the border of the beard even.

How to use the thinning function
(See Fig. 7)

First, slide the Thinning plate up 

to “1/3” until it clicks. (See Fig. 2) 

While applying the blade point at 

right angles to the hair, run the 

trimmer slowly across the head as 

if combing the hair. After thinning, 

slide the thinning plate back while 

pushing the Thinning Plate Lock 

Button. (See Fig.3)

Notes on thinning
For thinning, confirm that the thin-

ning plate is set to the 1/3 (right) 

position.Incorrect setting may result 

in excessive cutting.

If a difference in level is produced, 

lightly thin to compensate.

If thick and thin portions are pro-

duced, or if there are portions with 

an excessive amount of hair, thin 

the appropriate portions to com-

pensate.

Point:

Thin the hair gradually while check-

ing the overall balance.

Blades
1.  Brush out the cutting mecha-

nism. (See Fig. 8)

2.  Hold body of the trimmer with 

Panasonic mark upwatds, place 

the thumb against the blades, 

and push them away from the 

main body. (See Fig. 9)

3.  Push down the cleaning lever 

to raise the moving blade and 

brush in between the blades. 

(See Fig. 10)

4.  Put a few drops of oil on the 

blades. (See Fig. 11)

Blade Life
Blade life will vary according to 

the frequency and length of use. 

For example, using the unit for 10 

minutes every 3 days, the life ex-

pectancy is approximately 3 years. 

If cutting efficiency is reduced sub-

stantially despite proper mainte-

nance, the blades have exceeded 

their service life and should be 

changed.  The replacement part
