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 shav-

ings 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.

RECHARGING YOUR SHAVER

*When recharging your shaver, do not use any other AC adaptor other
than the one included with this package.

First time charging / Recharging after prolonged storage:

Before using your new shaver for the first time or if the shaver has been
in storage for any extended period of time, be sure to recharge the
shaver batteries to their capacity for a full 8 hours before use. Next, use
this full charge until the shaver batteries are completely exhausted. After
this, you can fully recharge your shaver battery in approximately 1 hour.

Regular Recharging

1. Slide the “Slide-and-Lock” power switch to its off position and put
the cap on.

2. Securely insert the power cord of the AC adaptor into the bottom

socket of the shaver.

* Before connecting the power cord plug from the AC adaptor into the
bottom socket of the shaver, make sure that the socket is completely
dry, to prevent any possible malfunction.

3. Connect the AC adaptor plug into the AC outlet.

* Your shaver will be fully charged in approximately 1 hour, and the
stored power will last approximately
one week if the shaver is used for 3
minutes daily.

* As the reserve power increases

while the shaver is being recharged,
the power reserve indicator LED
will flash, and then one-by-one, the
LEDs will light from the bottom up, indicating that there is a power
reserve stored in the shaver.

Axis Air |14| english

* During this process, the recharge indicator LEDs will flash to indicate

that recharging is in process.

Power reserve indicator LEDs (Green))

> During recharging: The LEDs flash, and then remain lit up and then

one-by-one, the LEDs will light from the bottom up to indicate the

level of power reserved.
> After full charge: All the LEDs remain lit up.

Before recharging the shaver,
check that both the plug and the
outlet are securely attached to
prevent any possible malfunc­tion.

Axis Air |18| english

Axis Air |19| english

While the shaver is recharging, a small continuous noise may be heard
or the shaver body or the AC adaptor may build up and emit some
heat. This is not a malfunction.

After recharging

> After the shaver is recharged for approximately 1 hour, all the power

reserve indicator LEDs and the recharge indicator LED will remain lit
up, indicating that the shaver is fully charged.

> After recharging, be sure to pull out the power cord plug of the AC

adaptor from the outlet.

* When unplugging the AC adaptor, do not pull the power cord,
as this may cause a malfunction. Be sure to hold the plug when pulling
it out.

USING YOUR SHAVER

WITH THE AC POWER SUPPLY

Checking to see that the power switch is off, insert the power cord of
the AC adaptor securely into the socket at the bottom of the shaver,
and then, insert the outlet plug into the outlet. Then, slide the power
switch on.

> With the shaver connected to the AC adapter, should the shaver not

operate by sliding the power switch on, the rechargeable battery is

completely depleted. In this case, slide the power switch off, allow

the shaver to charge for 1 minute, and then slide the power switch

back on again.
> After each use, make sure to slide the power switch off, and

then unplug the AC adapter from the outlet and from the shavers

recharging socket.
> If your environment is humid, such as a bathroom, do not use the

shaver with its AC power supply.

Axis Air |20| english

Axis Air |21| english

> Do not use soap or shaving foam around the AC power supply

when in use.

Note: The AC power stored in the rechargeable battery slowly de­creases even when the shaver is connected with the AC power supply.
Recharge the shaver’s battery once every three (3) weeks to maintain
an optimal charge.

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. Otherwise, you risk scratching
or irritating your face.

1. Remove the shaver’s cap, and slide down the power switch on.
Sliding down the power switch again will turn off the shaver. This is the
Lock-and-Slide feature.

knob

> When shaving, be sure not to apply too much pressure between the

outer foil and skin on your face. Applying too much pressure can ir­ritate your skin, as it may dull or damage the foil and wear the outer
foil out at a faster rate.

> When shaving delicate and harder to reach parts such as the chin or

neck, pull your skin tighter with your hand, and stroke upwards against
the grain of your beard. When shaving your neck, it is often beneficial
to lift your face upwards.

3. To use the trimming blade, slide it upwards. The trimming blade vi­brates equally with the inner blade.

4. To cut your sideburns, apply the
trimming blade to the skin lightly
at 90°angle, and move the shaver
gently downwards.

5. After use, turn the power switch

Axis Air |25| english

off and clean the shaver with the accessory brush.
Be sure to put the cap on after cleaning to protect
the blades.

After every use with soap or shaving foam, be sure
to wash away the residues with water.

thoroughly.

4. Attach the outer foil frame securely to the body case, and be very

and press both the outer foil frame release buttons on the side at the
same time to remove the outer foil frame.

from both sides with fingers, and remove the outer foil unit.

3. You can clean the inside of the outer foil, the inside of the outer foil
unit, the inner blade and the body of the shaver with the accessory

brush.

* To remove the inner blade, pull it straight upwards.

* Do not touch the sharp edges of the blade portion of the inner blade.

* Do not press hard against the inner blade. Doing so may deform
or damage it, which typically produces a poor shave and an unusual
noise.

4. After cleaning, attach the outer foil unit securely to outer foil frame.
Make sure you do not touch the outer foil.

5. Then, attach the inner blade to the vibrator. Set the outer foil frame
securely to the body, and check that it is well secured on the body.

ends lightly to reset it in position, and then, reinstall the outer foil frame.

If the shaver is used with the outer foil frame incorrectly set to the

body, this will typically produce a poor shave and unusual sound.

Do not remove the outer foil from the outer foil unit.

6. Before cleaning the trimming blade, slide the power switch off.

Check that the trimming blade is not moving when cleaning it.
