READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BE-
FORE USE.

Replacing batteries

1. Position and hold your thumb and

index finger on both sides of the
circular discs. Carefully pull out
the bottom battery cover with your
other hand (see fig. 2).

2. Insert two AAA alkaline batteries

as shown in the figure. Make sure
that their polarity matches that
indicated beside battery compart-
ment (see fig. 2). If the batteries
are not inserted properly, the
shaver will not operate. Do not
mix a new battery with an old one.
Always replace with 2 new fresh
batteries.

Using your shaver

Remove the protective cap and slide
the On/Off switch upward 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.

Cleaning your shaver

Squeeze the foil frame release but-
tons and lift the foil frame upward to
remove it (see fig. 4).
Remove the inner blade by grasping
it firmly at both ends and pulling it
straight away from the shaver (see
fig. 5).
Clean away the clippings with the
cleaning  brush provided (see fig. 6).
Reassemble the shaver parts in the
reverse order.

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 outer foil

(see fig. 4)
Squeeze the foil frame release but-
tons and lift the outer foil upward to
remove it. To insert the new outer foil,
press down until it snaps into place.

Replacing the inner blades

Squeeze the foil frame release but-
tons and lift the foil frame upward to
remove it (see fig. 4). Remove the in-

5

ner blade by grasping it firmly at both
ends and pulling it straight away from
the shaver (see fig. 5). To insert the
new inner blade, hold the blade at
both ends and press downward until
it snaps into the inner blade mount.

Caution: To  prevent
personal injury or damage
to the product.

• Do not wash with water.
• Do not wipe the shaver body using

anything other than mild soapy

• The outer foil is very thin. If han-

dled improperly, it can be easily
damaged. To avoid personal injury,
do not use the shaver if it has a
damaged foil or inner blade.

• Check the outer foil and inner blade

regularly for damage before use.

• Always replace protective cap af-

ter use.
