connected to a switch which turns power off
when lights are turned off.

that the trimmer switch is in the “OFF” position.

charge it for 16 hours. Always charge the

USER MAINTENANCE
INSTRUCTIONS
TAKING CARE OF YOUR TRIMMER
OILING THE BLADES
About once a month you should oil the
trimmer blades with the oil provided in
your kit. It is best to do this over a piece of
newspaper. Turn the trimmer on and hold it
so that the blades are pointed downward.
Spread one drop of oil across the blades,
then turn the trimmer off and wipe away the
excess oil with a soft cloth.
Be careful not to use too much oil and don’t
oil your trimmer more than necessary, as
this could damage the motor. (Never attempt
to oil the motor bearing, as it is permanently
lubricated.) After oiling the blades, return
the trimmer and oil packet to the trimmer
storage base. Keep oil away from children.
BLADE CARE
Because the trimmer blades are precision-
made for a very special use, they should
always be handled with care. Each time you
finish using the trimmer, take the cleaning
brush provided and brush away any loose
hair that has collected in the blades.
Be especially careful when changing or
adjusting blades. When you have your
trimmer serviced, be sure that both blades are
sharpened or replaced at the same time.
To promote the long life of the appliance,
use your trimmer only for the purpose
intended by the manufacturer – to trim your
beard and mustache.
THREE POSITION TAPER CONTROL
The Conair trimmer taper
control switch is positioned
at the back of the unit.
You can hold the trimmer
in your hand and adjust
the switch as needed. The
taper control eliminates the
need in some situations for an attachment
comb because it lets you gradually adjust
the closeness of the cut. For closest cut and
shortest hair, push switch all the way to level
#3. This is the setting to use for the 2 day
shave look. To increase the cutting length,
slowly push control down to level #2 or #1 for
longer cut. Note that too much clipped hair
on the clipper can slow down its operation. To
remove it without removing the blades simply
use the enclosed cleaning brush and gently
sweep away the clipped hair from cutting
surfaces. Note: The taper control only works
with the facial hair trimmer.
GROWING A BEARD AND MUSTACHE
There are three key factors that will
determine which beard or mustache style is
best for you:
1. The shape and dimensions of your face.
2. The natural growth of your beard/
mustache.
3. The thickness of your beard/mustache. If
you are unsure about the type of beard or
mustache that would most suit your face,
speak with a professional hair stylist and
ask for an opinion on what style would be
best. Once your beard or mustache has
been styled, it is essential that you maintain
its appearance. To do this, use your trimmer
to trim your beard/mustache weekly.
For the best trimming results, your beard
should be slightly damp (NOT WET) when
using your trimmer. This will prevent the
trimmer from removing more hair than
desired.
TYPES OF BEARDS/MUSTACHES
GETTING STARTED:
OUTLINING YOUR BEARD
1. It is always best to begin with a clean,
slightly damp beard.
2. After you have combed through your
beard in the direction it grows naturally,
you will want to outline the desired shape,
beginning under your jawline.
3. Begin defining your
beard’s shape under your
chin and work upward
on each side of your face
line of your beard across your cheeks, past
your sideburns, and toward your hairline.
toward your ears. Then define the upper out-
NOW YOU’RE READY
TO TRIM YOUR BEARD
1. The trimmer includes a five position
comb for use with the hair trimming blade
(2-10mm) which provide lengths of 3/32"
(shortest) to 3/8" (longest).
2. To use the 5-position comb, slide the
unit over the trimmer blades and snap it
down into position. At first, until you become
familiar with the adjustments, use the
longest trim setting. (You can always go
back and make your beard a little shorter.)
3. Begin trimming your
beard using smooth,
even strokes. Start with
your sideburns and work
downward toward your
chin. (Never attempt
to trim against the natural growth of your
beard because the hair will be cut too short.)
4. If you decide you want
a closer trim, you can now
adjust the 5-position comb
attachment to a shorter
setting (such as 3/32" or 5/32") and go
over your beard again until you achieve the
desired length.
HOW TO GET THE STUBBLE LOOK
This trimmer includes 5 stubble combs. These
combs allow you to achieve 15 different looks
of stubble or shadow looks to your already
existing growth. Simply use comb #1-#5
for any look you would like to achieve. You
can also use the taper control, which has 3
settings. Combined with 5 total stubble combs
you can achieve your 15 different looks.
Each comb has a different length. Comb # 1
is closest to the skin of the face while comb
# 5 is farthest off the face. Customizing a
different look each day! The stubble combs fit
on the blade just like the jawline combs, note
blending the jawline section for specifics on
how combs/jawline combs go on.
BLENDING THE JAWLINE
1. The two jawline attachments (jawline
AC12 provides 7 mm and jawline AC13
provides 5 mm) will help you to achieve
a neat, finished trim under your chin. To
use one of the attachments, press it down
over the trimmer blades until it clicks into
position.
2. Hold the trimmer in an upright position
and begin trimming under your jawline,
using short, even strokes.
3. After your beard is blended, turn off the
trimmer and remove the attachment by
gently pulling up on tab.
TO TRIM YOUR MUSTACHE
1. For best results, start with a clean, slightly
damp mustache.
2. Comb through your mustache in the direc-
tion it grows.
3. Place the 5-position comb
over the facial hair blade
and snap it into position. It
is a good idea to start with
the longest trim setting adjustment. (You can
always go back and cut your mustache more
closely with a shorter setting.)
ALWAYS TRIM YOUR MUSTACHE FROM THE
TOP DOWN
4. After your mustache has
been trimmed to the desired
length, remove the 5-posi-
tion comb and, using the
blades only, define the outline of the bottom
of your mustache.
ROTARY NOSE & EAR TRIMMER

hairs, attach the rotary nose/ear trimmer and
hold unit to areas that need trimming.
1. Make sure the trimmer on/off switch is in
the "off" position

acement (Removal) of Blade Set" instructions)
