Using your shaver
Push the switch button to turn the
shaver on. Hold the shaver at a right
angle (90'’) to your skin (see fig. 3).
Start out shaving by applying gentle
pressure to your face. Stretch your
skin with your free hand and move
the shaver back and forth in the di­
rection of your beard. You may gen­
tly increase the amount of pressure
as your skin becomes accustomed
to this shaver. Applying excessive
pressure does not provide a closer
shave.
For wet shaving
Put a thin layer of shaving foam on
your face which works as a lubrica­
tor. Shaving foam is the most suit­
able among many other shaving aids
(gel, soap, cream, etc). Do not put a
thick layer of shaving foam as it may
affect shaver's performance. If the
shaving head is clogged with foam,
simply rinse it underrunning water.
System outer foil
(see fig. 4)
System outer foil has a slit blade (a)
between two foils (b), They move up
and down independently to follow the
contours o1 your face.
The slit blade catches and cuts
longer and lying hairs easily.
Using the trimnrier
(see fig. 5)
Slide the trimmer handle up to the
mm position until it clicks in.
Place the trimmer at a right angle to
your skin and move it downward to
trim sideburns.
Cleaning your shaver
(see fig. 6)
For cleanliness and convenience, we
recommend that you clean your
shaver with water and a liquid hand
soap. Regular cleaning will keep your
shaver in good condition while pre­
venting odors or bacteria from devel­
oping, and maintain the cutting per­
formance.
With the system outer foil in place,
apply some hand soap onto the outer
foil.
Turn the shaver on and pour some
water over the outer foil.
After about 10-20 seconds, turn the
shaver off.
Remove the system outer foil and
clean it with running water.
Wipe off any moisture from the
shaver with a dry cloth and remove
the protective cap to allow the sys­
tem outer foil to dry completely.
Replacing shaving head
components
It is recommended that you replace
the outer foil at least every year and
the inner blade at least every two
years to maintain your shaver’s cut­
ting performance.
Replacing the system outer foil
(see fig. 7)
Squeeze the system outer foil re­
lease buttons and lift the system
outer foil upward to remove it. To in­
sert the new system outer foil, press
down until it snaps into place.
