The Groomer can only be charged in the charging stand.

Be certain Groomer is OFF.

NOTE: The small plug is easiest to insert when the charging stand is folded.
Unfold the charging stand (Fig. 2).
Plug the adaptor into any 120V AC outlet. Use only the power cord provided. An adaptor plug may be necessary for power cord usage in some foreign countries. Use an attachment plug adaptor of the proper configuration for the power outlet.
Put the Groomer in the charging stand with the shaving unit pointing upwards (Fig. 3). Make sure the charging contacts on each side of the Groomer fit into the charging stand correctly. When placed correctly, the charging light will flash green to indicate the Groomer is (re)charging (Fig. 4).

NOTE: After Groomer is fully charged, the charging light will go off after 30 minutes.

Discharge the battery completely twice a year by letting the motor run until it stops.
Do not keep plug permanently plugged in.

Recharging

Recharging requires a full 1 hour.

When Groomer is fully charged, disconnect the adaptor charging plug from outlet.

Trimming

If you are trimming for the first time, be careful. Do not move the Groomer too fast. Make smooth and gentle movements.
Practice trimming at the highest setting (5) first to prevent accidentally trimming hairs too short.
