- Fixed Guide Combs: Hook the front over the wide trimmer teeth and press the back down until it clicks. To remove, lift the tab on the back.
- Adjustable Comb: Line up the rails with the groomer's slots and slide downwards. To adjust length, press and hold the adjustment button on the back and slide the comb up or down. The length of cut is indicated by a scale on the side of the trimmer.
Grooming Instructions:
- General Preparation: Comb facial hair before trimming. Trim hair in the direction of growth for maximum height and consistent direction. Hair should be dry and free from waxes or lotions. If hair builds up, switch off the unit, remove attachments, and clean clippings.
- 3-Day Stubble and Body Hair Maintenance:
- 3-day stubble look: Let stubble grow slightly longer than desired. Use the 1.5mm fixed comb with the wide trimmer, running it against hair growth. Tidy edges with the precision trimmer. For more control, use the adjustable comb, starting at a longer setting and incrementally reducing length.
- Body hair maintenance: Let hair grow slightly longer than desired. Use the 3mm fixed comb with the wide trimmer, running it against hair growth.
- Hair Clipping:
- Nape of the neck: Fit wide trimmer and adjustable comb (4mm or 6mm). Hold clipper with blade teeth pointing upwards, starting at the center of the head at the base of the neck. Lift clipper slowly upwards and outwards, trimming a little at a time.
- Back of the head: Set comb at 12mm or 18mm.
- Side of the head: Adjust comb to shorter length for areas around ears, then increase length to gradually transition to longer hair on top.
- Top of the head: Adjust comb to longer settings (up to 20mm). Cut hair against its normal growth direction, working from the back of the head.
- Sideburns: Adjust comb to desired length or use fixed guide combs.
- Short/Long Beard Trimming: Fit wide trimmer and adjustable comb. Set to desired length. Start trimming under the chin along the jawline, working upwards towards the ear and upper beard line. Tidy edges with the precision trimmer.
- Contour Edging and Close Hair Cutting:
- Contour edging: Hold device with cutting blade (teeth) facing you at 90 degrees to the skin. Start at the beard/moustache line, resting blade lightly against skin, using slow controlled movements.
- Close hair cutting: Lift hair at the base of the neck with one hand, covering roots with index finger. Hold trimmer to the base of the neck with blade facing up, moving it up until it touches your index finger. Move trimmer slowly, keeping hair roots out of the way.
- Detailed Nose, Eyebrow, and Ear Hair Trimming:
- Nose and ear: Fit nose, ear, eyebrow trimmer. Insert gently into nostril or ear (not more than 6mm). Move attachment in and out while rotating the groomer.
- Eyebrow: Guide attachment to remove stray or longer hairs. For complete removal, let attachment touch skin and move over the area.
- Micro Stubble and Precision Trimming:
- Micro stubble: Fit precision trimmer. Hold attachment so the guide on the lower edge of the blade contacts the skin (like a wet razor) to stretch the skin. Use motions similar to wet shaving.
- Precision trimming: Hold precision trimmer perpendicular to the skin. Move it towards or away from beard hair to achieve desired result, using gentle pressure and controlled movements.
