For Household Use Only
DISPOSAL OF NI-CAD BATTERY
CONTAINS SEALED, RECHARGEABLE NICKEL-CADMIUM
BATTERY. MUST BE RECYCLED OR DISPOSED OF
PROPERLY.
Depending on use, your battery should last four to
six years before replacement is necessary. When
replacement is necessary, follow these simple steps:
1. First remove the Flex Foil Head while shaver is
in off position. Push the Shaver Head Release
Button on the side of the shaver and lift foil head upward.
Remove cutter bar by holding shaver in one hand, gently press
down on cutter bar to rotate it 90° and gently lift it upward. Be
sure your thumb and first finger are positioned at each end of
cutter bar assembly.
2. Remove the two Spring Clips on the top of the shaver using
a small, flat-blade screwdriver. Place hand over Spring Clips
when removing in order to prevent the clips from springing
away and getting lost. Pull back trimmer housing away from
the shaver.
3. Cut wires on both sides of tab at each end of battery. Remove
battery.
4. The RBRC program provides a convenient alternative to
placing Ni-Cad batteries into the trash or the municipal waste
stream, which is illegal in some areas. For proper disposal, call
1-800-8-BATTERY for a recycling center in your area.
QUICK TIPS & HANDY
REMINDERS
1. If you are a first-time electric shaver user, or changing from
another brand, there will be a 2 to 3 week (or less) adjustment
period while your face and beard adapts to the new foil.
2. When you open your package, charge your shaver for 18 hours
before the first shave.
3.
Replace the foil head every 6 to 12 months, depending on how
often you shave and how tough your beard is.
4.
Be sure to clean the shaver, cutter bar and foil after every three
or four shaves.
5.
Replace the cutter bar every 12 to 18 months.
6. Use the pop-up long-hair trimmer to snip stray hairs and to mow
down 2 to 3 day growth before shaving with your chosen foil head.
7.
Keep using and both your face and beard will adapt to the shaver.
8. During the break-in period of the cutter bar, you may
experience a black residue left on the face. It is a harmless
combination of whiskers, skin debris and minute particles
from the cutter bar which will wash off easily. This condition
will quickly disappear with use.
CHARGING OPERATION
• For best performance, charge for 18 hours before the first
shave.
This product has been designed with the charger in the
plug. This construction allows the shaver to be very powerful, yet
much lighter for easier maneuverability, and it also keeps the line
voltage safely at the plug and not in the shaver.
•
Plug the transformer cord into the shaver. BE SURE SHAVER IS
IN THE “OFF” POSITION (MARKED “O” ON SHAVER) WHEN
CHARGING.
• The shaver cannot be overcharged, so you may charge it as often
as desired. However, periodic recharging of the shaver, rather
than continuous recharging, will prolong battery life.
CONGRATULATIONS!
You own the Wahl® Flex Shave™
Shaver.
It has a patented high-speed cutting system and
specially angled Flex-Foil
™
dual heads . . .
for remarkably
close, amazingly fast shaves! Plus, a concealed full-width
trimmer located on the back of the shaver pops up and away
from the foil head for clear view shaping of sideburns, beards and
mustaches. We at Wahl are confident you will find extraordinary
shaving speed, comfort and closeness. Just follow the tips in
this folder.
TIPS FOR FIRST-TIME USERS
I
f you are using an electric shaver for the first time, your skin will
probably need to condition itself to this new shaving technique.
Start on the easiest part of the face first, usually the smooth portion
of the face below the ear. Shave with a light touch and use your
Wahl Shaver exclusively for three to four weeks, or longer if you
have sensitive skin or if your whiskers grow at different angles in
certain areas.
Initially your shaves may not be as close as you
would like,
and your skin may become a bit irritated. But if you
stick with it, you will eventually get great shaves.
If you go several days without shaving and your beard gets a bit
long, use the pop-up trimmer to go over your beard, catching all
the longer hairs and setting up the remaining stubble for the foil to
shave smooth and clean.
If you have been using another type of electric shaver before, there
may also be a period of conditioning prior to receiving maximum
results.
LOUD & PROUD
The Wahl® Flex Shave™ uses a very powerful rotary motor that
delivers 10,000 cycles per minute to the cutter head. This results
in a very strong audible hum, but is completely normal to its
opperation.
Don’t settle for a weak shaver!

CHOOSING THE RIGHT FOIL FOR
YOUR FACE
One of the most exciting benefits of owning the Wahl® Flex
Shave™ is that you can customize it to your individual needs
with a choice of three special quick-change Flex Foil Heads —
SENSITIVE, COMFORT CLOSE and ULTRA CLEAN. This is important
because every person has facial hair with different density,
diameter, toughness and growth angle. Until now, any shaver
was a compromise because of differences in skin and individual
preferences. But Wahl lets you choose just the right foil head for
your face.
The Wahl® Flex Shave™ System comes complete with all three
interchangeable foil heads. All Wahl shaver owners can purchase
these foils as accessories.
SENSITIVE Flex Foil.
This foil is designed for
people who don’t need to have their whiskers
cut quite so close, people who experience
irritation with other foils, and people who
have a tendency toward ingrown hairs. The
SENSITIVE Flex Foil is also great for those who are trying an electric
shaver for the first time. It makes the “break-in period” (as the face
becomes accustomed to electric shaving) more comfortable.
Special Tip When Using SENSITIVE Foil:
This foil is thicker and has
smaller holes. If you should miss a whisker, it may grow too long to
cut in normal shaving. Before shaving, examine your face and neck
area carefully in the mirror to locate any stray long hairs. Use the pop-
up long-hair trimmer to clip these long hairs before shaving with the
SENSITIVE foil head.
COMFORT CLOSE Flex Foil.
This foil has a
standard hole configuration and thickness
suitable for most beards, providing close,
smooth, comfortable shaves.
ULTRA CLEAN Flex Foil.
An extremely thin
foil with larger holes that allow the whiskers
to be cut closer. It’s especially effective on
tough beards. Since this foil will cut closer, it
should be tested with very little pressure against the face.
Special Tip When Using ULTRA CLEAN Foil:
Because this foil is capable of shaving very close, use
only a light touch when shaving the neck and other
areas where the skin may be thin and sensitive.
You’ll probably find that all of these foil heads will give you a great
shave, but you will undoubtedly develop your own preference and will
want to purchase your favorite foil or combination of foils for future
use. To do so, visit our website at shavers.wahl.com.

SHAVING PROCEDURES FOR
FAST, CLOSE SHAVES
We suggest that you thoroughly cleanse and
completely dry your skin prior to shaving.
For maximum speed and efficiency, hold the
shaver so that both screens are in contact with
the skin. When shaving the upper lip or neck,
hold shaver so that the uppermost screen is in
contact with skin.
Shave both with and against the grain of the
beard, and stretch the skin taut in the path of
the shaver. Guide the dual foil heads
gently
back and forth, primarily against the grain of the beard.
Do not press
screen heads hard against face.
Heavy scrubbing action with the
shaver could damage the foil and will not result in a closer shave.
As a general rule, we recommend replacing the Flex Foil Head every
four to six months for maximum results. The foil is micro-thin with
precise, raised inner cutting edges around the whisker holes. These
raised cutting edges will wear with use, which will be indicated if your
shaver slows down and the blades seem to get warm. Always replace
the Foil Guard to protect the delicate dual foil heads when shaver is
off. To ensure continued shaving satisfaction, you should replace the
foils often and cutter bar periodically.
SHAVING HEAVY
BEARD GROWTH
Begin shaving in a less dense area of the
beard. Move the shaver in a circular motion on
a small area of the face (this picks up the hairs
that grow in all directions). When you see
that this small area is shaved clean, gradually
move into a new area while still using the
circular motion. Continue this motion, one small section at a time, until
entire face is shaved.
If your beard has more than 24-36 hours of growth, use the pop-up
Long-Hair Trimmer to cut the beard down to about a one-day growth
before using the shaver foil.
LONG-HAIR TRIMMER
OPERATION
Your shaver features a special Long-Hair
Trimmer located on the back of the shaver
which telescopes up and away from the Flex
Foil Head for precise and easy
trimming of sideburns, beards
or mustaches, and for removing
long hairs from the neck. And, as
mentioned earlier, it can be used to
“knock down” heavy beard growth
prior to shaving with the foil.
To use, remove Foil Guard and
simply push the Long-Hair Trimmer Switch in an upward motion until
trimmer slides (clicks) into position. Push On/Off Switch to “ON”
position (marked “l” on shaver). Then begin trimming/styling.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
of Patented DynaFlex Cutters (EPO. Pat. No. 486.903) and Flex Foil
Heads
For maximum performance,
we recommend you clean your
shaver after every few shaves. Any
servicing, other than replacement
of Flex Foil Head and Cutter Bar
Assembly, should be performed by
an authorized Wahl Shaver Service
Center or Wahl Clipper Corporation
(see Warranty for mailing address
information).
To clean, turn shaver “OFF” and
remove the Flex Foil Head by
pushing the Shaver Head Release
Button on the side of the shaver
and lifting the foil head upward.
Lightly tap the open side of the Flex Foil
Head on a hard surface to remove the
majority of loose stubble particles.
Be
careful not to tap foil.
TO REMOVE CUTTER BAR
Turn shaver off. Remove the foil head and, holding the shaver in one
hand, gently press down on the cutter bar to rotate it 90° and gently
lift it upward.
Be sure your thumb and first finger are positioned at
each end of the Cutter Bar Assembly. Use
the cleaning brush provided to remove
whiskers between the cutting blades. Brush
carefully, so as not to break the cutter bars
apart. NOTE: If you do not hold the Cutter
Bar Assembly as shown, brushing the blades
could result in damage to the assembly.
When the Flex Foil Head and Cutter Bar
Assembly are removed from the shaver, an
alternate cleaning method is to rinse them
under running water. Simply let them air dry.
After cleaning, replace the Cutter Bar
Assembly by pressing it down gently and
rotating 90° to lock into place. Carefully
replace the Flex Foil Head, snapping it into
place.
From time to time, depending on the density
of your beard, you will need to replace the cutters
and foils. If you notice that it is taking you longer
to shave, or if your face starts to feel some
irritation, or if the foil seems to become warm
to the touch, it is probably time to replace the
cutters and foils. Replace the cutters and foils
only with WAHL parts.
