When the battery contains enough power for one trimming session of approx. 7 minutes, the bottom segment starts flashing blue. , First the bottom segment of the charge level indicator flashes blue, then the second segment and so on, until the appliance is fully charged. (Fig. 4) , When the appliance is fully charged, all segments of the charge level indicator light up blue continuously. , If the fully charged appliance is still connected to the mains after 1 hour, the segments of the charge level indicator go out. Battery low When the battery is almost empty (when there are approx. 7 or fewer trimming minutes left), the bottom segment of the charge level indicator turns orange. When you switch off the trimmer, the bottom segment flashes for a few seconds. Corded trimming When the rechargeable battery is low, you can also run the appliance from the mains. To use the appliance connected to the mains: 1 Switch off the trimmer and connect it to the mains. 2 Wait a few seconds and then switch on the appliance.

Beard trimming Always comb your beard or moustache with a fine comb before you start trimming. Trimming with trimming comb The hair length settings are indicated in millimetres on the display of the appliance. The settings correspond to the remaining hair length after cutting. The trimming comb cuts hair to a length of 1-18mm. If you trim for the first time, start with the maximum hair length setting (18mm). 1 Slide the trimming comb onto the appliance (Fig. 6). 2 Turn the adjustment ring (Precision Zoom Lock `) to the desired hair length setting. (Fig. 7) , The display shows the selected hair length. 3 Switch on the appliance (Fig. 8). Note: During trimming, you can use the turbo function for extra suction power and trimming speed (see section `Turbo function' below). 4 To trim most effectively, move the appliance against the direction of hair growth (Fig. 9). Note: Make smooth and gentle movements and make sure the surface of the trimming comb always stays in contact with the skin. Note: Do not move the appliance too fast. 5 Switch off the appliance after use and clean it (see chapter `Cleaning'). Creating a stubble look Use the trimmer with the trimming comb set to a hair length of 1mm to create a stubble look (Fig. 10). If you want even shorter stubble of 0.5mm, use the trimmer without the trimming comb attached. Trimming without trimming comb Use the trimmer without trimming comb to trim full beards and single hairs. 1 Remove the trimming comb (Fig. 11). Note for QT4090: Never pull at the flexible top of the trimming comb. Always pull at the bottom part. 2 Make well-controlled movements and touch the hair lightly with the cutting unit.

When you trim 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 (see chapter `Cleaning', section `Hair-collection chamber'). Note:To ensure optimal functioning of the vacuum system, do not cut off more than approx. 7mm of your overall beard length at a time.
