This document describes the Braun hair clipper, Type 5429/5427, a device designed for hair clipping with a focus on quality, functionality, and design.
Function Description
The Braun hair clipper is primarily used for trimming and cutting hair. It can be operated cordlessly for up to 50 minutes, depending on hair type and cut. The device is suitable for cleaning under running water, but must be detached from the power supply before cleaning. It comes with two hair clipping combs: a long hair clipping comb (1a) for lengths 14–35 mm and a short hair clipping comb (1b) for lengths 3–24 mm. The cutting system (2) is designed for efficient hair removal. The length selector (3) allows for easy adjustment of cutting lengths. An on/off switch with an integrated charge indicator (4) displays the battery status. The device is powered via a special cord set (6) with an integrated Safety Extra Low Voltage power supply. Some models may also include a charging stand (7).
