Attaching/removing the attachment comb

(Fig. 6a).
2. The attachment comb can be removed by pushing it in the direction of the arrow (Fig. 6a).
Maintenance, cleaning and Care.
• Remove the attachment comb (Fig. 6b) after every use and lift the blade set out of the housing (Fig.
7a).
• Use the cleaning brush to remove any cut hairs from the housing opening and from the blade set
(Fig. 8).
• The cleaning lever (Fig. 8b) can also be pressed. This allows the cut hairs that accumulate between
the bottom blade and the top blade to be easily removed using the cleaning brush.
• Only wipe the appliance with a soft, slightly damp cloth
• Oil the blade set with the blade set oil (Fig. 9)
• For good and long-lasting cutting performance, it is important to oil the blade set frequently.
• If the cutting performance deteriorates after long use despite regular cleaning and oiling, the blade
set should be replaced.
Automaticsensorsystem
To give you advance notice of an urgent need for maintenance care, your hair cutting appliance has been
equipped with an automatic sensor system.
• The sensor system automatically recognises when the blade set needs oiling or cleaning.
• Aftertheapplianceisswitchedo󰀨,anacousticsignalwillsoundandthebatterypowerindicatorwill
ashfor2minutes.
• Theacousticsignalandtheashingofthebatterypowerindicatorcanbecancelled(turnedo󰀨)by
brieyswitchingtheapplianceonando󰀨.
• Before using the appliance again, it is strongly recommended to clean the appliance and oil the
blade set. See section Maintenance, Cleaning and care.
• Failure to observe these instructions may result in damage to and early failure of the appliance,
which will void all guarantee claims.
Changing the blade set
Removing the blade set:
1. Switchtheapplianceo󰀨usingtheon/o󰀨switch(Fig.3a)anddisconnectfromthepowersupply.
2. Slidethebladeseto󰀨thehousinginthedirectionofthearrow(Fig.7a).Removethebladeset.
Replacing the blade set:
1. Replace the blade set by hooking it into the housing. The small lug at the base of the blade should
be aligned with the indent on the clipper casing. Press the blade down until it clicks into position
(Fig. 7b).
Problem elimination
Bladesetiscuttingbadlyorpullinghairout.
Cause: Blade set is dirty or worn.
• Clean and oil the blade set (Fig.8/9); if this does not resolve the problem, replace the blade set
(Fig. 7).
Batterylifeistooshort.
Cause: Blade set and housing opening are dirty.
• Clean and oil the blade set (Fig. 8/9).
Abladesetthatisverydirtyandhasnotbeenoiledcanhalvetheavailablebatterylife!Ifthe
blade set is clean and oiled and the battery life is still far too short, it is likely that the batteries are
nearing the end of their life.
• Battery life generally decreases at a steady rate when the appliance is used on a day-to-day
