PANASONIC ER-GB70 (02) PDF Document

Step 1. Make sure that the PANASONIC ER-GB70 trimmer is turned off.

Step 2. Connect the appliance plug to the appliance socket.

Step 3. Plug in the adaptor into a household outlet. Check that the charge status lamp glows. Charging is completed after approx. 1 hour.

Step 4. Disconnect the adaptor when the charge status lamp stops glowing.

Charging is completed after approx. 1 hour.

A full charge supplies enough power for approximately 50 minutes of use.

When charging the trimmer for the first time or when it has not been in use for more than 6 months, the lamp on the main body may not glow for a few minutes, or the operating time may shorten. Please charge it for more than 8 hours in such cases.

If you connect the AC adaptor to the trimmer in the same way as for charging, and turn on the power, you can use it. If the remaining battery is too low, the blades may move slowly or stop, even with the AC operation. In this case, charge the battery for 1 minute or more. The battery will be discharged, even with the AC operation.

We recommend using the trimmer in an ambient temperature range of 0 – 35 °C. If used outside this range, the appliance may stop operating.

Step 1. Mount the comb attachment to the main body until it clicks. Be careful not to cut your hand with the blade when attaching or removing the comb attachment. Make sure that the trimmer is turned off.

Step 2. Turn the dial and adjust the trimming height indication mark to the desired height.

The trimming height (estimate) in mm for the comb attachment for beard [A] is as follows:

The trimming height (estimate) in mm for the comb attachment for beard [A] is also listed:

The trimming height (estimate) in mm for the comb attachment for hair [B] is as follows:

It can also be used without the comb attachment. (Trimming height: approx. 0.5 mm)

Step 1. Attach the comb attachment for beard to the main body. (See page 9.)

Step 2. Set the trimming height.

Step 3. Holding the trimmer with the power switch facing upward, trim by bringing the blade in contact with the skin and moving the trimmer against the flow of the beard.

Hair trimmings may collect inside the attachment when a large volume of beard is cut, so discard hair trimmings after each use.

Step 1. Remove the comb attachment.

Step 2. Holding the trimmer with the power switch facing outwards, trim by bringing the blade in contact with the skin.

The trimmer cannot trim hair to lengths less than 0.5 mm.

Step 1. Remove the comb attachment.

Step 2. Slide the precision trimmer up to its maximum height.

Step 3. Holding the trimmer with the power switch facing the skin, trim by bringing the blade in contact with the skin.

Step 1. Attach the comb attachment for hair to the main body. (See page 9.)

Step 2. Set the trimming height.

Step 3. Holding the trimmer with the power switch upward, trim by moving the trimmer slowly against the flow of hair and toward the crown of your head.

Step 4. Trim slowly while crisscrossing from various directions to avoid missing any spots.

To maintain sharpness, remove hair trimmings between usages.

Step 1. Attach the comb attachment for hair to the main body. (See page 9.)

Step 2. Set the trimming height.

Step 3. Holding the trimmer with the power switch upward, trim around the ears and neckline by lifting the tip of the comb attachment little by little from the hairline.

When trimming the entire area to 12 mm, use 9 mm as a rough standard trimming height for the neckline.

When trimming the entire area to 9 mm, use 6 mm as a rough standard trimming height for the neckline.

Step 1. Remove the comb attachment.

Step 2. Holding the trimmer with the power switch at the bottom, touching the blade perpendicular to the area of downy hair, and move the trimmer downward along the skin.

It is recommended to ask someone else to trim around your own ears and neckline.

The trimming height is approximately 1.5 mm when using the comb attachment for body hair (ER-GB80 model only, this applies to the ER-GB70 as well since it is part of the same family). Do not use when body hair is wet. Wet body hair may stick to the skin or bunch up, making it difficult to trim.

Step 1. Attach the comb attachment for body hair to the main body. (See page 9.)

Step 2. Holding the trimmer with the power switch at the bottom, trim by bringing the blade in contact with the skin and slowly moving the trimmer in the direction as illustrated.

The desired results may not be achieved if hair is too long. In this case, trim the hair to a length of about 10 mm before using the trimmer.

Blade life varies according to the frequency and period of use of the trimmer. For example, the blade life is approximately 3 years when using the trimmer for 5 minutes 10 times a month. Replace the blades if cutting efficiency reduces substantially despite proper maintenance.

Battery life will vary according to the frequency and length of use. If the battery is charged once a month, the service life will be approximately 3 years. If the operating time is significantly shorter even after a full charge, the battery has reached the end of its life.

Charge the trimmer. (See page 8.)

Clean the blade and apply oil. (See pages 13 and 14.)

Replace the blade. (See page 14.)

Charge the trimmer. Or use with the AC operation. (See page 8.)
