Charge with charging stand

(see fig. 1 (B))

To charge with the charging stand, connect the power cord to the charg- ing stand. Place the shaver into the stand, and plug the adaptor to the AC outlet.

You can always store your shaver in the charging stand to maintain full battery capacity. This shaver cannot be overcharged.

Using your shaver

Caution – The system outer foil is very thin and can be damaged if handled improperly. Before each use, always check the foil for dam- age. To avoid personal injury, do not use if the foil or other parts of the shaving head is damaged.

Push the On/Off switch to turn the shaver on.

If you push and hold the On/Off switch for more than 2 seconds, it will activate the turbo mode for “sonic” vibration cleaning.

(see “Cleaning your shaver”) 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. 4). 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 direction of your

beard. You may gently increase the amount of pressure as your skin be- comes accustomed to this shaver. Applying excessive pressure does not provide a closer shave.

Pivot action selector (see fig. 5)

Use the pivot action selector to choose the shaving mode.

soft: For sensitive skin, gives maxi- mum shaving float.

: For regular beard and skin, gives the shaving float between “soft” and “lock”.

lock: For heavier beard, gives mini- mum shaving float.

The pivot action can be changed no matter whether the switch is turned on or off.

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. 6)

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

(see fig. 7)

8

Slide the trimmer handle up to open the trimmer.

Place the trimmer at a right angle to your skin and move it downward to trim sideburns.

Cleaning your shaver

(see fig. 8)

Warning – To prevent electric shock or personal injury, discon- nect the power cord from the shaver before cleaning.

For cleanliness and convenience, we recommend that you clean your shaver with water and a liquid hand soap. Regular cleaning will keep your shaver in good condition while pre- venting odors or bacteria from devel- oping, and maintain the cutting per- formance.

With the system outer foil in place, apply some hand soap onto the outer foil.

Push the On/Off switch more than 2 seconds to activate the turbo mode for “sonic” vibration cleaning.

At the same time, the lamps of the battery capacity monitor/charge sta- tus lamp will flash around randomly. Pour some water over the outer foil. After about 20 seconds, it will be automatically turned off, or you can turn it off by pushing the On/Off switch.

Remove the system outer foil and clean it with running water.

Wipe off any moisture from the shaver with a dry cloth and remove the protective cap to allow the sys- tem outer foil to dry completely.

Replacing shaving head components

It is recommended that you replace the system outer foil at least once a year and the inner blade at least once every 2 years to maintain your shav- er’s cutting performance.

Replacing the system outer foil (see fig. 9)

Squeeze the system outer foil re- lease buttons and lift the system outer foil upward to remove it. To in- sert the new system outer foil, press down until it snaps into place.

Replacing the inner blades (see fig. 10)

Squeeze the system outer foil re- lease buttons and lift the system outer foil upward to remove it. Re- move the inner blade one at a time by grasping it firmly at both ends and pulling straight away from the shaver. Do not touch the metal parts of inner blades.

To insert the new inner blade, hold the blade one at a time at both ends and press downward until it snaps into the shaver.

ATTENTION:

2 nickel metal hydride batteries that are recyclable power the prod- uct you have purchased. Please call 1-800-8-BATTERY for informa- tion on how to recycle the batter- ies.
