Use:
Step 5. Final touch
The appliance can be used connected to the elec-
tric mains or with batteries.
- Connect the appliance to the mains.
- Turn appliance on, pressing the On/Off switch.
-Finally use the appliance without attaching any
comb guides to the blades to cut the hair around
the base of the neck, the sides of the neck and
the ears.
- To make the sideburns straight, turn the appli-
ance over to use the upper blades (Fig 4). Move
the appliance adapting it the physiognomy of the
head. To achieve more precise results use the
shaver or the finishing attachment.
How to cut hair
- Situate the person whose hair you are going to
cut so that the top of their head is at your eye level.
Place a protective towel or cloth around their neck.
- To obtain best results it is better to use the appli-
ance on dry hair, as it is much easier to control the
hair and the result.
Once you have finished using the appliance:
- Turn the appliance off, using the on/off switch.
- Unplug the appliance from the mains (If it was
used connected to the mains.)
- Comb hair well before cutting. Make sure that
there are no tangles or knots.
- Hold the appliance in a calm and relaxed manner
in order to ensure maximum control of the cut and
a uniform result. Proceed to use short cuts gradu-
ally going around the head.
- Leave the hair a little longer than the desired
length as it can always be altered later.
- While working adapt the comb/comb guide to the
desired length.
- Clean the appliance
Cleaning
- Disconnect the appliance from the mains and al-
low it to cool before undertaking any cleaning task.
- Clean the device with a damp cloth that has been
administered a couple of drops of detergent. Dry
afterwards.
- At regular intervals, stop cutting in order to comb
the hair and check the results so far.
- Do not use solvents, or products with an acid or
base pH such as bleach, or abrasive products, for
cleaning the appliance.
Step 1 Nape
- Attach comb guide #1 or #2.
- Do not submerge the appliance in water or any
other liquid, or place it under a running tap.
- Clean the blades and the comb guides with the
cleaning brush. Remove the hairs form the blades
and from within the appliance using the brush. It is
important to clean off all the hairs after each use.
- To remove the blades, make sure the appliance
is turned off.
- Hold the appliance with the razor facing down-
wards and begin to cut the hair from the base of
the neck.
- Make some upward movements, raising the ap-
pliance gradually and away from the head, cutting
the hair gradually until the height of the ears (Fig 1)
- Hold the hair trimmer with both hands, placing
thumbs on the outside of the blades and push out-
wards as demonstrated in (Fig5)
- To replace the blades, push together and exert
pressure against the body of the hair trimmer until
a click is heard.
Step 2 The back of the head
- Attach comb guide #3, #4, # 5, #6, # 7 or # 8
and continue with the back of the head (Fig 2)
Step 3 The side of the head
- Attach a new shorter comb guide (#1 or #2) to
trim the sideburns.
- Attach the longest comb (#3, #4, #5, #6, # 7 or
# 8) again and continue until you reach the top of
the head.
-Grease with oil regularly.
Anomalies and repair
- Take the appliance to an authorised technical
support service if problems arise. Do not try to dis-
mantle or repair without assistance, as this may be
dangerous.
Step 4 The top of the head
- Using comb guide #3, #4 or # 5, pass the appli-
ance from the back to the front, against the growth
of the hair (Fig 3). In some cases it’s necessary to
go over what you have done a second time from
front to back.
- The comb guide #1 or #2 is for when you want to
achieve a more precise cut.
- Use comb guides #6, # 7 o #8 to leave hair at
a longer length. Hold the hair up with the comb or
the comb and your fingers and cut.
- If the connection to the mains has been dam-
aged, it must be replaced and you should proceed
as you would in the case of damage.
