clean lines around your beard, neck and
sideburns.

flat side of the cutting element against
your skin and make strokes against the
direction of hair growth (Fig. 9).

element perpendicular to the skin and
move it upwards or downwards with
gentle pressure (Fig. 10).

2 To trim the most effective way, move
the guard against the direction of hair
growth (Fig. 11). Make sure the surface
of the guard always stays in contact
with the skin.
Attachments for use on body
- Use the green body guards to trim
body hair.
- When you trim for the first time, use the
5mm/3/16in. body guard to familiarize
yourself with the product.
- Make sure hair is clean and dry as wet
hair tends to stick to the body and,
when trimming sensitive areas, always
use a body guard.
- Since all hairs do not grow in the same
direction, you may want to try different
trimming positions (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 guard always stays in contact with
your skin.
- When too many hairs have accumulated
on the product, blow the hairs out
before use, for best trimming results.

trimmer to trim hairs below the neckline.
The product comes with 2 body guards.
The hair length settings are indicated on
the guards. The settings correspond to the
