SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
PRECAUTIONS ON USING THE SHAVER
> Do not keep the shaver in a humid place, a place where the shaver is
exposed to splashes of water, or in high temperatures.
> To clean the body case of the shaver, wipe it with a cloth soaked with
a diluted water solution of a neutral detergent. Do not use thinner or
benzene as it will damage the plastic portions of the body.
> Do not recharge the shaver or use it with an AC power supply when
the room temperature is below 0° C or over 40° C. Also, never
recharge it under direct sunlight or near a heating element such as
heater or incandescent light.
> Do not recharge the shaver or use it with an AC power supply in a
humid place or a place where the shaver is exposed to splashes of
water.
> Do not leave the shaver unattended while it is recharged.
> If pre-shave lotion or shaver oil sticks to the body case of the shaver,
wipe it off completely. Otherwise, the plastic portions of the shaver may
be damaged.
> Before shaving, wipe off oiliness of your face. Otherwise, the shavings
will stick to the outer foil as the inner blade rubs against it. If you find
the outer foil soiled, wipe it clean with tissue paper or the like before
using the shaver.
> Excessive application of shaver oil will also soil the outer foil. In that
case, wipe the foil clean with tissue paper or the like before using the
shaver. When cleaning the shaver, take care not to apply an excess
amount of shaver oil on the inner blade and outer foil.

BATTERY LIFE
If you recharge your shaver’s battery once a week, the life expectance
of your rechargeable battery is approximate 4 years. Recharging it more
frequently will shorten its lifespan, but battery life varies depending on
usage and storage conditions.
When you notice that you are getting only 2 to 3 shaves per 1-hour
recharge, it means that the battery life is nearing its end. When you reach
this time, contact the retailer from whom you purchased this shaver. If the
shaver is stored and unused for prolonged periods, 6 months or more,
the battery’s capacity will deteriorate due to self-discharge. It is recommended that the shaver be recharged at least once every six (6) months
when not in use to maintain battery charging capacity.
HOW TO USE
Always remember that if the outer foil is deformed or damaged for any
reason, do not use it and replace it immediately with a new one. Other-
wise, you risk scratching or irritating
your face.
1. Remove the cap, and slide down
the power switch on while pressing
the lock button.
2. Bring the outer foil of the shaver
to your face and gently apply enough
pressure that your feel your beard

face and move the shaver upwards
against the grain of your beard.

ply too much pressure between
the outer foil and skin on your
