2 Switch the Trimmer ON.

3 To trim in the most effective way, move the

Trimmer against the direction of hair

growth. Do not move the trimmer too fast.

Make smooth and gentle movements and

make sure the surface of the Guide Comb

always stays in contact with the skin (fig. 6).

NOTE: Since all hairs do not grow in the same direction,

you may want to try different trimming positions (i.e.,

upwards, downwards, or across). Practice is best for

optimum results.

Charging

Charge the Trimmer fully before you start using it

for the first time or after a long period of disuse.

Charge Indications

Low Battery

◗ When the battery capacity drops below its

minimum level, the red low-battery

indicator light starts blinking when you

switch the trimmer on or during trimming

to indicate that the appliance needs to be

charged (fig. 2).

◗ When this happens, there is still enough

energy in the battery for one more

trimming session. When the battery is

completely empty, neither the motor or

the lights will go on. In this case you

can still trim using the cord provided.

Charging

◗ When you start charging, the green

charging light starts blinking (fig. 3).

◗ During charging the blinking green charging

light indicates the level at which the battery

is currently charging. The battery capacity

that is already available is indicated by the

green battery lights that burn continuously

(fig. 4).

Battery Full Indicator

When the battery is fully charged, the bottom

three green lights burn continuously and the

top green light blinks at a very quick rate.

Battery Capacity Indication

Your AccuVac beard trimmer is equipped with

a battery capacity indication. This indication

becomes visible for 5 seconds every time the

Trimmer is switched on or off. The number of

burning green lights indicates the amount of

battery capacity that is available.

To Charge / Recharge

◗ (Re)charging requires one full hour.

◗ Use only the cord provided.

◗ Battery performance is best if you recharge

only when the battery is (almost)

completely empty.

◗ Charging or recharging at temperatures

below 40°F or higher than 95°F adversely

affects lifetime of battery.

◗ Continuously recharging or continuously

using as a corded Trimmer will reduce life

of battery.

◗ You may also trim using the cord provided.

This Trimmer will not recharge while being

used corded.

1 Be certain Trimmer is OFF.

2 Connect cord to Trimmer. Plug into any

120V AC outlet only. Use only the

cord provided.

◗ An adaptor plug may be necessary for cord

usage in some foreign countries. Use an

attachment plug adaptor of the proper

configuration for power outlet.

Do not charge Trimmer in a pouch or for more

than 24 hours.

◗ It requires 1 hour to fully charge the

battery, if the battery capacity is completely

empty. If there is still battery capacity

available, fully charging the battery will take

less time.

◗ A fully charged Trimmer has a cordless

trimming time of up to 40 minutes.

3 Disconnect the cord and unplug from

electrical outlet unless you are using the

Trimmer corded.

Optimize The Working Life

Of The Battery

◗ After Trimmer has been charged for the

first time, do not recharge Trimmer

between trimming sessions. Continue using

until the battery is completely empty.

◗ Discharge the battery completely twice a

year by letting the motor run until it stops.

◗ Do not charge for more than 24 hours.

◗ Do not keep cord permanently plugged in.

◗ If Trimmer hasn’t been used for a long

period of time, Trimmer must be recharged

for one full hour.

3 If battery is completely empty, wait a few

minutes before switching Trimmer on.

Cordless Trimming

Put It To The Test

Like many new products, your Norelco

AccuVac Trimmer may take a little getting used

to. If you are using an electric Trimmer for the

first time, or if you’ve been using a different

brand, take the time to acquaint yourself with

your new Trimmer.

Your AccuVac Trimmer features the Patented

AccuControl System combined with an

adjustable Zoom Lock to make trimming facial

hairs goof-proof. The AccuVac System with

Integrated Vacuum collects cut-off hairs during

use.

Throw your scissors away and put your new

AccuVac Trimmer to the test. We guarantee

precise, professional, results or Norelco will

refund you the full purchase price, guaranteed!

AccuControl System

The patented AccuControl System with

Integrated Vacuum 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 maneuver over those

hard-to-reach areas such as the throat and chin.

The patented Zoom Lock Hair Length Selector

allows you to choose among 9 preset hair

lengths and locks into position so you can

control the exact hair length you desire or vary

the length of your facial hair. The Patented

AccuControl System and Zoom Lock Hair

Length Selector for professional, goof-proof

results every time.

AccuVac System

The AccuVac System with Integrated Vacuum is

activated automatically as soon as you switch

the trimmer on. It collects cut hairs during every

kind of use, i.e. trimming with or without comb

attachment and contouring. The flexible hair

guide follows the contours of the face and the

Flexi-Guard Hair Deflector directs cut hairs

towards the nozzle of the vacuum mechanism.

It is recommended that you 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 'Cleaning' section, 'Hair

Collection Chamber').

◗ To ensure optimal functioning of the

AccuVac 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.

Trimming

◗ Use this Trimmer for its intended

household use as described in this manual.

◗ Always comb your beard and/or moustache

with a fine comb before you start trimming.

◗ If you are trimming for the first time, be

careful. Do not move the Trimmer too fast.

Make smooth and gentle movements.

Trimming With AccuControl Guide

Comb Attachment

◗ Guide Comb Attachment must be on

Trimmer in order to use the Zoom Lock.

1 Turn the Zoom Lock to the desired

trimming length setting (see table). The

setting will appear in the window below

the Zoom Lock (fig. 5).

◗ If you are trimming for the first time, start

by using the maximum trimming length

setting #9 to prevent accidentally trimming

hairs too short. As you become familiar

with the settings, adjust Zoom Lock to

desired trimming length. Zoom Lock will

“click” into position at each setting.
