the blades.

•Make sure to rinse the main body with water and

apply the oil to the blades after wet trimming.

Cleaning the trimmer

•Clean the main body and the blade after each use.

(If not cleaned, the motion will become poor and the

sharpness will worsen.)

•Do not use thinner, benzine, alcohol or other chemicals.

Doing so may cause failure, cracking or discoloration

of the main body.

Wipe the main body only with a soft cloth slightly

dampened with tap water or soapy tap water.
