Electromagnetic fields (EMF)
The Philips epilator and precision epilator comply with all
standards regarding electromagnetic fields (EMF).
Epilation tips
Note: Always clean the epilating head of the epilator and the
precision epilator before first use.
- We advise you to epilate before going to bed at
night, as skin irritation usually disappears overnight.
- Epilation is easier just after taking a bath or shower.
Make sure your skin is completely dry when you
start epilating.
- Make sure your skin is clean, entirely dry and free
from grease. Do not use any cream before you start
epilating.
- Epilation is easier and more comfortable when the
hair has the optimum length of 3–4 mm. If the hairs
are longer, we recommend that you shave first and
epilate the shorter regrowing hairs after 1 or 2
weeks.
- Regular massages with the exfoliation glove one
day before and two days after epilation may help to
prevent ingrown hairs.
Note: Do not use the exfoliation glove immediately after
epilation, as this may intensify possible skin irritation caused
by the epilator.
Using the epilator

Insert the adapter into the wall socket.
Epilating the legs
1
Select the desired speed to switch on the
appliance (Fig. 6).
Preferably use speed II. Switch to speed I for areas with
little hair growth, for hard-to-reach areas and for areas
where bones are located directly beneath the skin, such
as knees and ankles.
2
Stretch the skin with your free hand to make the
hairs stand upright.
3
Place the epilator perpendicularly onto the skin
with the on/off slide pointing in the direction in
which you are going to move the appliance (Fig. 7).
4
Move the appliance slowly over the skin, against the
direction of hair growth. (Fig. 8)
Press the appliance lightly onto the skin.
Using the precision epilator
inserting the batteries
1
Remove the lid of the battery compartment by
sliding it down (Fig. 9).
2
Insert two AA 1.5V alkaline batteries into the
battery compartment (Fig. 10).
Note: Make sure the + and - poles of the batteries point in
the direction indicated in the battery compartment.
Note: New batteries offer an operating time of up to 40
minutes.
3
Slide the lid of the battery compartment back onto
the appliance.
Do not let metal objects come into contact with the
battery terminals and do not short-circuit the batteries.
Epilating with the precision epilator
Use the precision epilator to epilate the underarms, the
bikini line and hard-to-reach areas.
1
Thoroughly clean the area to be epilated. Remove
any residues of deodorant, cream etc. Then dab the
skin dry.
2
Switch on the appliance.
3
Place the epilating head at an angle of 90° onto the
skin with the on/off slide pointing in the direction
in which you are going to move the appliance.
Note: Always stretch the skin with your free hand.
4
To epilate the bikini line or underarms, move the
appliance slowly over the skin, against the direction
of the hair growth.
- Epilate your bikini line as shown in the figure (Fig. 11).
- Epilate your underarms as shown in the figure. Raise
your arm to stretch the skin. Move the appliance in
different directions to catch all hairs (Fig. 12).
Do not use this appliance to remove hairs that grow
out of moles.
Do not use this appliance to epilate eyebrows or
eyelashes.
Using the smart Tweezers
Your epilator comes with Smart Tweezers with integrated
light for the easy removal of facial hair such as your
eyebrows. The Smart Tweezers are protected by a case
with integrated mirror which allows you to depilate
wherever and whenever you want. The Smart Tweezers
are supplied ready for use with 3 button batteries in the
battery compartment.
Using the smart tweezers
1
Use an eye pencil to mark the desired shape of
your eyebrows. Remove any hairs outside the
marked shape.
2
Switch on the light by moving the on/off slide
upwards.
3
Always pull out the hair in the direction of hair
growth.
Do not use the Smart Tweezers to remove hairs that
grow out of moles.
Do not point the light of the Smart Tweezers directly at
your or somebody else’s eyes.
Replacing the batteries
1
Open the battery and light compartment by turning
the bottom anticlockwise with a coin (Fig. 13).
2
Remove the old button batteries (Fig. 14).
Keep the button batteries out of the reach of children
and pets. Button batteries present a potential choking
hazard.
3
Insert the new button batteries with the negative
side pointing forward into the battery and light
compartment (Fig. 15).
Note: The Smart Tweezers work on three alkaline button
batteries type L736H or AG3 (dia. 7.8 x 3.4mm).
4
Screw the bottom back onto the battery and
light compartment by turning it clockwise with a
coin (Fig. 16).
