Troubleshooting
Trimmer won't turn on or has no power.
Ensure the trimmer is fully charged. Plug it into the charger and wait for at least 5 minutes for the quick charge to activate, then try turning it on. If it still doesn't work, ensure the charging cable and adapter are securely connected and functioning correctly.
Cutting performance feels dull or uneven.
First, thoroughly clean the blades and comb guide to remove any trapped hairs or debris. If the issue persists, apply a small amount of lubricating oil to the blades as described in the 'Care & Maintenance' section. Ensure the comb guide is properly seated for an even cut.
LCD screen is not displaying information.
Check if the trimmer battery is charged. The LCD screen requires power to operate. If fully charged and still blank, try turning the trimmer off and on again. If the problem continues, contact customer support for further assistance.
The motorized length adjustment isn't working.
Ensure no hair or debris is obstructing the comb guide's movement. Clean the area around the blades and comb guide thoroughly. If the comb guide is stuck, gently try to move it by hand (while the trimmer is off) after cleaning, then attempt to use the motorized control again.
