Using the appliance
Trimming tips
- When trimming for the first time, start by using
the comb with the maximum trimming length
setting to familiarize yourself with the appliance.
- Since all hairs do not grow in the same direction,
you may want to try different trimming directions
(i.e. upwards, downwards, or across). Practice is
best for optimum results.
- Always make smooth and gentle movements and
be sure the surface of the comb always stays in
contact with your skin.
- For best results, use the appliance on clean, dry
hair, as wet hair tends to stick to the body.
- When too many hairs have accumulated on the
appliance, remove the hairs before and/or during
use, for best trimming results (see 'Cleaning').
