The trimmer has not been charged at the factory. Please charge the trimmer for 2 hours
before the first use for maximum performance.
You can keep the trimmer plugged into the charging stand or adapter when not in use. The
charging stand or adapter will maintain the battery at full charge. We recommend that the charging
stand or adapter be unplugged if the trimmer won't be used for seven or more days.
FAILURE TO CHARGE
1. Make sure voltage is present at the wall outlet (confirm with an appliance you know is working).
2. Make sure on/off switch on the trimmer is OFF.
3. Check to make sure adapter cord is plugged firmly into trimmer or charging stand. Twist the
adapter cord slightly to ensure good electrical connection.
4. If failure to charge still exists, return trimmer to Andis or an Andis authorized service station for
examination and repair or replacement.
CORDED OPERATION
If the trimmer powers OFF in the middle of a trimming job, the power cord can be attached to
continue use in corded operation. Plug the adapter cord directly into the bottom of the trimmer
(Figure J). When the trimmer is running with the adapter cord attached, the blue light will remain
solid ON to indicate strong power, even if the battery is not fully charged. The trimmer will charge at
a slower rate while in use with the cord attached.
TRIMMER INDICATOR LIGHTS
When the trimmer is running in a cordless operation, a
blue trimmer indicator light means the battery has a
strong charge. When the light turns red (Figure I) the
battery level is low and should be recharged as soon
as possible. If the trimmer automatically powers OFF,
move the power switch to the OFF position and either
charge in the charging stand or plug in to cord to
continue trimming.
The trimmer automatically powering off protects the
lithium-ion battery and is not a malfunction. The
trimmer will resume normal operation when it is
recharged or plugged in to its power cord. The ORL-S
trimmer, by design, will run at full power until the
battery is fully depleted.
NOTE: If trimmer automatically powers OFF while
in use, it may take 1-2 minutes to resume normal
operation after power cord is plugged in.
USING ATTACHMENT COMBS
(Some models do not have combs and sizes will
vary by kit)
Your trimmer may come with 4 attachment combs: 1/16", 1/8", 1/4" and 3/8" (Figure K). To use, slide
front of attachment comb over the teeth of the blade (Figure L). Snap comb down over back of
blade (Figure M). Different blade angles in relation to the skin, thickness and texture of the hair will
vary the cutting length.
USER MAINTENANCE
Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by
children without supervision.
If trimmer is not going to be used for a long period of time, store in a safe, cool, dry place. Do not
wrap adapter cord tightly around trimmer. Do not hang the trimmer by the adapter cord.
The internal mechanism of your trimmer has been permanently lubricated at the factory. Other
than the recommended maintenance described in this manual, no other maintenance should be
performed, except by Andis Company or an Andis authorized service station.
