To ensure you get a precise and even cut, it is essential that you hold the appliance at the angle shown.

• If you tilt the appliance too far forward, the teeth of the cutting element cause a shorter cut and could nick your skin. 
• If you tilt the appliance too far backward, trimming will not be effective.
• If you change the angle while trimming, you will end up with an uneven result.

Take special care when you move the appliance from neck to cheek or vice versa and around your jaws and chin.
