CHARGING SHAVER

The shaver has not been charged at the factory. Please charge the shaver for
a minimum of 2 hours before the first use for maximum performance.

This battery charger Andis model TS-1 is intended for use with Andis model TS-2
shaver lithium-ion battery with a rated capacity of 3.7V 2.96 Wh. Remove the
shaver and AC adapter from the carton. Plug the adapter into a 100-240V AC
outlet, or according to your local power standards. Note that the shaver ON/OFF
switch must be in the OFF position for the battery to charge.

Plug the cord adapter directly into the inlet on bottom of the shaver (Figure A).
The red charging indicator light on the shaver will turn on. After the battery is fully
charged, the red charging indicator light will turn green.

FAILURE TO CHARGE

1. Make sure voltage is present at the wall outlet (confirm with an appliance you

know is working).

2. Check to make sure adapter cord is plugged firmly into the shaver or

charging stand. Twist the adapter connector slightly to insure good electrical
connection. If failure to charge still exists, return shaver to Andis or an Andis
authorized service station for examination and repair or replacement.

USE WITH CORD ADAPTER

If the shaver powers OFF while in use, the power cord can be directly attached
to continue use in corded operation (Figure A). When the shaver is running with
the power cord attached, the green charging indicator light will remain on, even
if the battery is partially or fully discharged. The shaver will not charge while in
use with the cord attached.

This power unit is intended to be correctly orientated in a vertical or floor
mount position.

FOR SHAVING

1. Keep the unit clean and dry at all times.

2. Remove the protective plastic headguard.

3. Check to make sure the outer foils and inner cutters are not damaged.

Replace damaged parts before using. For more information on replacement
parts, contact Andis Company or the nearest Andis authorized service station.

4. Ensure that the battery is charged.

5. Wash and dry your skin thoroughly prior to shaving.

6. Slide the ON/OFF switch up to the ON position.

7. Gently stretch the skin of your face with your free hand while moving the

shaver slowly and smoothly against the grain of your beard. Using short,
circular strokes will make the hairs stand out from your face and make shaving
easier. Hold the shaver at a 90 degree angle to your face while maintaining
contact with the foil.

8. In order to achieve the closest shave and avoid unnecessary wear on the foils,

be sure that both foils contact the skin simultaneously at all times. Holding
the shaver at an angle where only one foil contacts the skin will cause
distortion of the foil and may result in skin irritation.

9. To facilitate cutting and avoid foil wear, use minimal pressure to apply the

shaver to your skin.

10. To maximize shaving comfort, be sure to clean the shaver thoroughly after

use.

USER MAINTENANCE

If shaver is to remain unused for a long period of time, store in a safe, cool, dry
place. Do not wrap cord tightly around shaver. Do not hang the shaver by the
power cord. Other than the recommended maintenance described in this
manual, no other maintenance should be performed, except by Andis Company
or an Andis authorized service station. To contact Andis directly, please call our

that you replace your shaver’s foil assembly and cutters every six months.

1. Remove the foil assembly by pressing the round assembly lock button located

on the right side of the shaver. Grasp the foil assembly on both sides and
gently lift it off the shaver (Figure C).

damage the foils. Gently slide the foil assembly down until it snaps firmly into
place.

its underside with the notch on the shaver drive and push down firmly until it
snaps into place.

3. Replace foil assembly.

CLEANING

Regular cleaning is necessary in order to maintain the optimal performance and
maximum comfort from your shaver. Do NOT run shaver, foil assembly or
cutters under water. Use only the small brush (included) to clean.

DRY CLEANING WITH BRUSH

1. Remove the foil assembly by pressing the round button located on the right

side of the unit. Grasp the foil assembly on both sides and gently lift it off of
shaver (Figure C).
