Acu•Control Personal Groomer may take a little
getting used to. If you are using an electric Personal
Groomer for the first time, or if you've been using
a different brand, take the time to acquaint
yourself with your new Personal Groomer.

the contours of your face for a trim that is both
even and accurate. And, it's easy to maneuver over
those hard-to-reach areas such as the throat and
chin.The Hair Length Selector allows you to
choose among 5 short and 5 long preset hair
lengths and clicks into position so you can control
the exact hair length you desire or vary the length
of your facial hair.The Norelco Acu•Control

the styling comb before you start trimming.

2 Switch the Trimmer ON.
3 To trim in the most effective
way, move the Trimmer
against the direction of hair
growth. Make sure the
surface of the Guide Comb
always stays in contact with
the skin.
NOTE: 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.
4 If a lot of hair has
accumulated in the Guide
Comb, remove the Comb and
blow and/or shake the hair
out of the comb.You can also
use the cleaning brush
provided to remove hair from the comb area.
