Product Information

Full details

The Stylecraft Pro Instinct Metal Edition Trimmer is designed for professional barbers and stylists seeking a high-performance, low-vibration cordless trimmer. Its key benefit is the IN2 Vector motor with intuitive torque control, which ensures seamless cutting of thick hair without snagging, while the metal housing reduces noise and vibration. A potential caveat is the increased blade heat due to the high RPM motor, requiring more frequent cleaning and lubrication.

FAQs

How long does the battery last on a full charge?

The Instinct Metal Edition Trimmer offers up to 3 hours of cordless run time on a single full charge.

How long does it take to fully charge the trimmer?

A full charge takes approximately 2 hours, either via the charging dock or the multi-function mini USB charging lead.

What is the purpose of the metal housing?

The rear metal housing is designed to absorb noise and vibration, resulting in a quieter and smoother operation for enhanced user comfort.

How do I achieve a perfect zero gap with the blades?

The trimmer includes a dual-ended zero gap blade setter tool. Use this tool to ensure the blades are perfectly aligned for precise cutting.

Why do the blades heat up faster than on other trimmers?

The high RPM of the IN2 Vector motor (9,500 strokes per minute) causes the blades to heat up more quickly. Regular cleaning and lubrication are essential to manage this.

Can I use the trimmer while it's charging?

While the trimmer can be charged via USB, it is recommended to use it cordless once fully charged for optimal performance and battery health. Always refer to the user manual for specific charging instructions.

What is included in the box?

The box includes the Instinct trimmer - metal edition, 3x interchangeable skins (pink, black + white), charging dock & cable, multi-function mini USB charging lead, universal blade setter, mini screwdriver, blade oil & brush, spare screws, and a user manual.

What is the warranty period?

The Stylecraft Pro Instinct Metal Edition Trimmer comes with a 12-month warranty.

Troubleshooting

Trimmer not turning on

Ensure the trimmer is charged. Check that the charging cable and dock are properly connected. If the issue persists, try a different power outlet.

Blade snagging or pulling hair

Clean the blades thoroughly and lubricate them. Ensure the blades are properly aligned using the zero gap setter tool. Check for any damage to the blades or internal components.

Excessive blade heat during use

Clean and lubricate the blades more frequently, even during the same grooming session. Ensure the trimmer is not being overworked on extremely dense hair without proper passes.

Trimmer feels unusually noisy or vibrates excessively

This can be normal due to the high-speed motor. However, ensure blades are clean and lubricated. If vibration is extreme or accompanied by poor cutting performance, check for worn internal parts.

Battery not holding a charge

Ensure the charging contacts on the trimmer and dock are clean. Try charging with the mini USB lead directly. If the battery life is significantly reduced, it may need replacement.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Exceptional cutting power for thick and dense hair.
Significantly reduced noise and vibration compared to many trimmers.
Precise cutting with high-quality Black Diamond Carbon blades.
Comfortable to hold and maneuver for long periods.
Fast charging and long cordless run time.

Cons

Blades can heat up more quickly due to high motor RPMs.
May require more frequent blade maintenance (cleaning and lubrication).
Runner/blade carrier may wear out sooner than with lower RPM trimmers.
High RPM can lead to increased wear on internal components over time.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Initial Setup:

Unbox the trimmer and select your preferred interchangeable skin.
Ensure the trimmer is fully charged before first use using the provided charging dock or mini USB lead. The charging indicator will show status.
Familiarize yourself with the dual-ended zero gap blade setter tool to achieve perfect blade alignment if needed.

Compatibility:

The trimmer is designed for professional hair and beard grooming.
It operates on a rechargeable lithium-ion battery.
Charging is compatible with standard USB power sources via the provided leads.

Care & Maintenance:

Cleaning: After each use, brush away hair debris from the blades using the provided brush. For a deeper clean, use the mini screwdriver to carefully remove the blade assembly and clean thoroughly.
Lubrication: Apply a few drops of the included blade oil to the blades after cleaning and before storage. This is especially important after extended use due to potential blade heat.
Storage: Store the trimmer in a cool, dry place, ideally in its charging dock to ensure it's ready for the next use.
Blade Maintenance: Due to the high RPM motor, the runner/blade carrier may require more frequent replacement than with other trimmers. Monitor performance and replace as needed.
