To Charge/Recharge w Fully charge Trimmer before using for the first time or after non-use for a long period of time. w Battery performance is best if you recharge only when the battery is (almost) completely empty. w Charging, recharging, or using the Trimmer at temperatures below 40˚F or higher than 95˚F adversely affects lifespan of the battery. w Continuously recharging Trimmer will reduce lifespan of battery. 1 Be certain Trimmer is OFF (fig. 1). 2 Insert the appliance plug directly into the Trimmer (fig. 2) and plug the adaptor into any 120V AC outlet. Use only the cord provided. w An adaptor plug may be necessary for cord usage in some foreign countries. Use an attachment plug adaptor of the proper configuration for power outlet. 3 The Charging Light on the appliance will light to indicate the Trimmer is charging. w It will take approximately 10 hours to fully charge the Trimmer for a cordless trimming time of up to 35 minutes. NOTE: After the Trimmer is fully charged, the Charging Light will remain lit. 4 Disconnect the cord and unplug from electrical outlet. Optimize the working life of the battery w After the Trimmer has been charged for the first time, do not recharge the Trimmer between trimming sessions. Continue using it until the battery is completely empty. w Do not charge for more than 24 hours. w Do not keep cord permanently plugged in. w Discharge/run down the battery completely twice a year by letting the motor run until it stops. w If the Trimmer hasn't been used for a long period of time, it must be recharged for a full 10 hours. Corded Trimming w Only use the Trimmer corded when the battery is empty. w Trimmer does not recharge during corded trimming. 1 Connect cord provided to Trimmer and plug Trimmer into electrical outlet. 2 If battery is completely empty, wait a few minutes before switching Trimmer ON. 3 Slide ON/OFF switch ON to begin trimming. 4 Turn Trimmer OFF and unplug. Cordless Trimming 1 Charge according to directions. Unplug Trimmer from outlet and remove cord. 2 Slide ON/OFF switch ON to begin trimming. 3 If the charge runs out while trimming, simply connect cord provided to Trimmer and outlet to continue trimming. Trimming w Use this Trimmer for its intended household use as described in this manual. w Always comb the beard and/or moustache with a fine comb before you start trimming. w If you are trimming for the first time, be careful. Do not move the Trimmer too fast. Make smooth and gentle movements. Trimming with the Guide Comb Attachment w Guide Comb Attachment must be on Trimmer in order to use the Zoom Lock. 1 Turn the Zoom Lock to the desired trimming length setting (see table). The setting will appear in the window below the Zoom Lock (fig. 3). w If you are trimming for the first time, start by using the maximum trimming length setting (#9) to prevent accidentally trimming hairs too short. As you become familiar with the settings, adjust Zoom Lock to desired trimming length. Zoom Lock will "click" into position at each setting.
