[. . . ] This appliance is only designed for trimming the human beard. Do not use the appliance for any other purpose. Do not use the appliance when the cutting unit is damaged or broken, as this may cause injury.

[. . . ] Using the appliance Absorbing cut hairs The suction system is activated automatically as soon as you switch the appliance on. It absorbs cut hairs during every kind of use, i. Trimming with and without comb attachment and contouring. The flexible hair guide follows the contours of the face and directs cut hairs towards the nozzle of the vacuum mechanism. We advise you to empty the hair-collection chamber after each trimming session. When trimming long, dense beards it may also be necessary to empty the hair-collection chamber during the trimming session in order to maintain optimal suction performance (also see chapter 'Cleaning', section 'Hair-collection chamber'). B To ensure optimal functioning of the vacuum system, do not cut off more than approx. 7mm of your overall beard length at a time. If you want to cut your beard shorter, repeat the process one or more times. If you are trimming for the first time, start with the maximum trimming length setting (9). 2 To trim in the most effective way, move the trimmer against the direction of hair growth.
