Getting Started

Put the AccuControl comb on the
full width trimmer attachment
until you hear it click into place
(fig.3). The AccuControl comb
WILL NOT work with the smaller
neckline and sideburn trimmer, or micro

length setting. The selected setting

CORDLESS TRIMMING

Personal Groomer from the charging base.
Slide ON/OFF switch ON to begin trimming.
If the battery is empty and you want to trim
your beard, charge the Groomer for at least
3 hours and you will have enough power
for one use (10 minutes).

ACCUCONTROL SYSTEM

The unique AccuControl System puts you
in complete control while trimming your
facial hairs with no prior experience
needed. The flexing Guide Comb adjusts
automatically to hug the contours of your
face for a trim that is both even and
accurate, and it’s easy to manoeuvre over
those hard to reach areas such as the neck
and chin. The Hair Length Selector allows
you to choose among 9 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 Hair Clipping
Comb also features 9 preset hair lengths
and clicks into position so you can control
the exact hair length you desire.

TRIMMING

Make sure hair is clean and dry. Always comb
the hair with the styling comb in the direction
of growth before you start trimming. Do not
move the Groomer too fast. Make smooth and
gentle movements.

TRIMMING YOUR BEARD AND

MOUSTACHE WITH ACCUCONTROL

GUIDE COMB ATTACHMENT

Use this Groomer for its intended household
use as described in this manual. Make sure
that the Groomer is fully charged before you
start trimming.

Model Number: 40887

Getting Started

•

If you are trimming for the first time, start by
using the AccuControl comb at the maximum
trimming length setting (#9) to prevent
accidentally trimming hairs too short. As you
become familiar with the settings, adjust
Hair Length Selector to desired trimming
length. Selector will “click” into position at
each setting.

•

Switch the Groomer ON.

•

To trim in the most effective
way, move the Groomer
against the direction of hair
growth. Make sure the
surface of the Guide Comb
always stays in contact with
the skin (fig.5).

NOTE: Since all hairs do not grow in the same
direction, you may want to try different
trimming directions (i.e. upwards, downward or
across). Practice is best for optimum results.

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.

REMEMBER:

You must reset the hair length selector
back to your desired setting every time
you replace the guide comb on the
appliance. The remaining hair length
corresponds with the smallest distance
between the cutting blade and the spot
where the comb is in contact with the
skin. Cutting without the comb
attachment or setting the AccuControl
guide comb to #1position will result in
a stubble beard look.
