Preparing for use
Charging
Charge the appliance for at least 10 hours before

you use it for the first time and after a long period of

disuse. Charging normally takes 8 hours.

When the appliance is fully charged, it has a cordless

operating time of up to 50 minutes.

When the charging light lights up red, the battery is

running low (approx. 10 minutes of operating time

left) and you need to recharge the appliance.

Note: The appliance can only be charged in the charger.

1

Make sure the appliance is switched off when you

start to charge it.

2

Insert the small plug into the charger (Fig. 3).

3

Put the adapter in the wall socket.

4

Put the appliance in the charger (Fig. 4).

The charging light on the adapter and the charging

light on the handle go on to indicate that the

appliance is charging (Fig. 5).

5

When the appliance is fully charged, the charging

light on the appliance and on the adapter goes out.
Optimising the lifetime of the rechargeable

battery

Discharge the battery completely twice a year by letting

the motor run until it stops. Then fully recharge the

battery.

Attaching/detaching attachments

The shaving attachment and trimming attachment can be

attached and detached in the same way.

1

To attach the attachment, put it on the handle

in such a way that the open dot on the handle is

aligned with the open dot on the attachment (1).

Then turn the attachment clockwise until the

open dot is aligned with the solid dot on the

handle (2) (Fig. 6).

2

To detach the attachment, turn it anticlockwise

until the open dot on the handle is aligned with

the open dot on the attachment (1). Then lift the

attachment off the handle (2) (Fig. 7).
Using the appliance

You can use the appliance wet or dry to shave or trim

hair on all parts of the body below the neckline. Do not

use it to shave facial or scalp hair.

Tip: Take your time when you shave sensitive areas for the

first time. You have to acquire practice with the appliance.

Your skin also needs some time to get accustomed to the

appliance.

Trimming

Never use the trimming attachment without a trimming

comb.

1

Put the trimming attachment on the handle (see

section ‘Attaching/detaching attachments’ in chapter

‘Preparing for use’).

2

Put one of the two trimming combs on the

trimming attachment (Fig. 8).

Use the XL comb to trim hairs on extra-large areas,

such as your chest, abdomen, back and legs.

Use the XS comb to trim hairs on extra-sensitive

areas, such as your pubic area, underarms and around

the nipples.

3

Press the setting selector upwards or downwards

to set the desired setting (Fig. 9).

The two arrowheads on the trimming attachment

show which setting you have set (Fig. 10).

The tables show how long the hair will be after trimming

at the different settings.

When you trim for the first time, start at the highest

setting (5) to familiarise yourself with the appliance.

Trimming tips

To trim in the most effective way, move the appliance

against the direction of hair growth.

Always make sure that the tips of the comb point in

the direction in which you move the appliance.

Make sure that the flat part of the comb is always

fully in contact with the skin to obtain an even result.

Since all hair does not grow in the same direction,

you need to move the appliance in different

directions (upward or across).

Trimming is easier when the skin and hair are dry.
Shaving

Before you use the shaving attachment, always check it

for damage or wear. Do not use the shaving attachment

if the shaving foil unit or the cutter is damaged, as injury

may occur. If the shaving foil unit is damaged, replace it.

section ‘Attaching/detaching attachments’ in chapter

‘Preparing for use’).

Press the on/off button once to switch on the

appliance.

3

Place the shaving foil on the skin.

4

Move the appliance against the direction of

hair growth while you press it lightly onto the

skin (Fig. 12).
Shaving tips

Stretch the skin when you move the shaving foil

across it.

Make sure that the shaving foil is always fully in

contact with the skin.

If the hairs are longer than 10mm, you can trim them

first to make shaving easier.

When you use the appliance in the shower or bath,

apply some shaving foam or shower gel to your skin.

Clean the appliance after every use.

cleaning agents or aggressive liquids such as petrol or
