away with the general waste or rubbish.
Please dispose of them at a Braun
Service Center or at an appropriate
disposal center according to national
or local regulations.
Shaving
The Silk&Soft system captures even
problem hairs, the integrated SoftStrip
stretches the skin to ensure a closer
reach and the floating shaver foil and
the floating longhair trimmer hug the
skin, all to ensure a perfectly close
shave. For a gentle shave, the
EasyGlide cushion ensures smoother
gliding. The additional OptiShave
attachment (1) allows an extra close
and comfortable shave of legs.
•
Press and slide up the on/off switch
to turn the shaver on. Make sure
that the TrimLock (2f) is in the « »
position.
•
For optimum shaving results, place
the OptiShave attachment onto the
shaver head (A). It ensures perfect
closeness and the optimum usage
angle so that both the shaver foil
and the long hair trimmer are in
contact with the skin.
•
Move the appliance slowly against
the direction of hair growth.
Adjusting to the body contours, the
long hair trimmer first raises all long
hairs and cuts them off. Then the
shaver foil follows to smooth away
any stubble.
•
If you have not shaved for a long
period of time, remove the OptiShave
attachment to allow a faster
pre-cutting of longer hairs (B).
•
Always ensure that both the shaver
foil and the long hair trimmer are in
contact with the skin.
Wet usage
The appliance can also be used on
wet skin. Make sure that the skin is
very moist to achieve optimum gliding
conditions. Wet usage on sensitive
skin might lead to skin irritations
(e.g. reddening).
Shaving your legs with the
exfoliation attachment
Instead of the OptiShave attachment,
you may want to use the exfoliation
attachment (6) that helps enhancing
the general look of the skin surface
thanks to its exfoliation pad. The
exfoliation pad gently scrubs the skin
to remove dead skin particles, thus
revitalizing the skin.
Proceed as follows:
•
Remove the OptiShave attachment
(1) and replace it with the exfoliation
attachment (6).
•
When guiding the appliance slowly
against the direction of hair growth,
make sure that the long hair trimmer,
the shaver foil and exfoliation pad
are in contact with the skin.
Shaving and styling the underarm
and bikini area
In these sensitive areas, make sure
that you always shave on stretched
skin in order to avoid injuries (B).
Please take special care if the skin
surface is uneven or has skin tags.
Make sure not to touch them with the
long hair trimmer.
Shaving the underarm and bikini area:
Remove the OptiShave attachment for
a perfect reach. Always stretch your
skin when shaving.
