A full charge will supply enough
power for about 14 shaves (3 min-
utes per shave for a normal beard).
You can always store your shaver in
the charging adaptor to maintain full
battery capacity. This shaver cannot
be overcharged.
Before traveling, charge it fully for 1

In case your shaver is without
charge, you may quick charge it for
1 shave in about 5 minutes.

Caution:
Shaving with “sonic” vibration may
damage your skin. Please turn it
off and on again to deactivate the
turbo mode.
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

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 under running water.
System outer foil
(see fig. 5)
System outer foil has a slit blade (a)
between 2 foils (b). They move up
and down independently to follow the
contours of your face.
The slit blade catches and cuts
longer and lying hairs easily.
Using the trimmer

Slide the trimmer handle up until it
clicks in. Place the trimmer at a right
angle to your skin and move it down-
