Trimming Beards
Before you begin, comb your hair in the
direction that it grows so that the hairs
are at their maximun height and facing
in the same direction.
Determine how much hair you want to
cut and position the hair length selector
accordingly. Remember, until you are
familiar with using the trimmer, it's
always better to select a longer hair
setting initially in order not to trim too
much hair.
Turn the unit's power switch to ON, and
begin trimming.
When finished trimming, turn the unit's
power switch to OFF.
To Trim Beard Hair Length

Turn the trimmer
so the front of
the cutting unit is
facing away from you.
Start trimming under your chin and,
following your jawbone line, work toward
your ear and upper beard line using an
upward motion. Allow the trimmer guard
attachment to follow the contours of your
face. You may trim either against or with
the direction of beard growth, whichever
you prefer.
