This document describes a multi-purpose trimmer designed for face and body use, offering a range of features for grooming hair, beards, mustaches, and body hair.
The Conair GMT836C is a versatile grooming tool that functions as a multi-purpose trimmer for hair, face, and body. It is designed to provide precise and even trimming for various hair lengths and styles. The device is equipped with multiple interchangeable heads and cutting guides, allowing users to achieve different grooming results, from close shaves to longer trims. It can be used for outlining beards, maintaining mustaches, trimming facial hair, removing unwanted nose and ear hair, and grooming body hair. The trimmer is waterproof, making it suitable for use in the shower and ensuring easy cleaning.
The trimmer offers several usage features to cater to diverse grooming needs. It comes with 32mm blades, featuring a movable blade with a three-dimensional etching process for a sharp cutting edge, and a fixed stainless steel blade. For hair and beard trimming, it includes two cutting guides (2-14mm and 3-15mm) and a 6-position precision guide (0.5 to 3mm) for very short cuts. A shaving head for the body, along with a 3mm cutting guide, allows for quick and even shaving of all body parts. For facial grooming, an 18mm shaving head is provided. A 7mm precision blade is included for creating precise contours and original designs, while a nose/ear accessory helps eliminate unwanted nose and ear hair. The trimmer features an On/Off switch and a charging indicator light.
Before first use, the trimmer requires a continuous 16-hour charge to achieve maximum battery capacity, which is reached after three complete recharge cycles. Subsequent full charges allow for 30 minutes of autonomous use. The cutting guides are manually adjustable, allowing users to increase or reduce the cutting length by pushing the guide up or down, respectively. The selected length is displayed at the back of the trimmer.
For hair trimming, it is recommended to use the trimmer on clean, dry hair. Users should start with a longer cutting length to familiarize themselves with the trimmer and gradually work towards shorter lengths. The trimmer should always be moved against the direction of hair growth. For the nape, the guide should be placed on the scalp and moved toward the crown, pointing the teeth slightly upward, maintaining contact with the head. For the crown, the trimmer should be moved from front to back. For finishing touches around the nape and sideburns, the trimmer can be used without a cutting guide, moving it from top to bottom. For lengths greater than 30mm, or for creating "comb" or "finger" cuts, users can work without a cutting guide, taking up small sections of hair with a comb or fingers and cutting along the desired length.
For beard and mustache grooming, it is best to start with a clean, slightly damp beard. Users should comb through their beard in the natural growth direction and then outline the desired shape, starting under the jawline, moving up each side towards the ears, and continuing on the cheeks towards the hair. Trimming or styling the beard against hair growth is recommended. The shaving head adapts to facial contours for a close shave. The precision trimmer, with its 7mm narrow blade, is ideal for patterning hair and beards with accuracy. For nose and ear hair removal, the trimmer head should be gently inserted into the ear or nose, ensuring it is only used in the opening of the nostrils or ears to avoid injury.
For body grooming, the dedicated shaving head with two blades shortens long hair and allows for precise shaving. The cutting guide used with the shaving head allows users to set the hair length to 3mm when a complete shave is not desired, such as for underarms.
Maintaining the trimmer's optimal performance involves regular cleaning and care. After each use, the cutting guide should be removed. The trimmer blades should be cleaned regularly. To facilitate cleaning, the Conair trimmer blades are removable. Users should ensure the trimmer is turned off, hold it with the blades pointing up, and remove them by pressing the top of the blade. A cleaning brush is provided to remove any hair from the blades.
Periodically, the blades may require oiling. After cleaning, a trimmer head should be attached, the unit switched on, and a few drops of lubricating oil applied to the blades. The oil is specially formulated for trimmers to prevent evaporation and maintain blade speed.
For battery maintenance, to obtain and maintain the longest battery autonomy, the unit should be charged for 16 hours before first use and then approximately every three months. The battery life can be improved by periodically allowing the trimmer to run until the motor stops, then immediately shutting off the switch and fully recharging.
The trimmer is waterproof, which simplifies cleaning as it can be rinsed under water, guaranteeing maximum hygiene. When attaching or removing accessories, the unit must be switched off. To attach a head, the base of the accessory should be fitted onto the unit until a click is heard. To remove a head, the handle should be held in one hand, and the head pushed up with the free hand.
The document also provides troubleshooting steps for issues related to charging, such as ensuring the electrical outlet is working, the electrical plug is not connected to a switched outlet, and the adapter is properly inserted with all connections secure and the trimmer switch in the "OFF" position. It also notes that the adapter may become warm during charging, which is normal.
