FITTING AND REMOVING THE HEAD

• Turn the head through 45° in an anti-clockwise direction (fig.5) and remove it.
• To refit the head, slot it in at an angle of 45° to the appliance, then turn it into
position (fig.6).
WET & DRY UNIT
• This unit has been designed for use even under the shower. Nonetheless, it
must be dried before being repositioned on the base.
STYLING TIPS
• Decide on the kind of look you want to obtain, based on your face and the
length of beard and moustache.
• When trimming beard and moustache, start off with the comb attachment
adjusted to a high setting, and then move onto a shorter setting if so desired.
A weekly trim will suffice to maintain the look.
• For clean, sharp edges, use the finishing head (fig.1 ref.12), then complete the
task using the shaver head (fig.1 rif.13). Trim unwanted hair from nose and ears
using the nose and ear hair trimmer (fig.1 ref.11).
• For best results, beard and moustache can be dampened (not wet), and
brushed in the direction of growth.
• Proceed to trim, working upwards from the bottom, beginning at the jaw and
moving towards the ears.

The cleaning and maintenance procedure must be carried out after every use.
• All maintenance or blade change operations must be carried out with the

ear hair trimmer (fig.1 ref.11) must be oiled regularly.
