Connecting and charging

Plug the charger (8) into an electrical outlet. Place the cruZer body onto the
charger. The charging light (7) shows that the appliance is being charged.
When the battery is fully charged, the charging light turns off. Intermittent
blinking after a while indicates that the battery maintains its full capacity.

In order to maintain the capacity of the rechargeable batteries, we recom­mend that you unplug the charger and discharge the cruZer body by regular
use at least every 6 months.

How to use the cruZer body

Make sure that you always keep your skin stretched when shaving or
trimming.
The cruZer body is not intended for removing facial hair or scalp hair.

• Trimming («1»):
Trimming on the skin / contour trimming
For trimming precise lines and contours, just use the trimmer (2)

(picture a).
Press the on/off switch (6) to turn on the cruZer body.
Stretching your skin, carefully move the trimmer against the direction of

hair growth.
For this function, you can use Gillette shaving foam or gel.

Using the trimming combs (1a) – (1c)
For best results use the trimming combs on dry hair only. Do not use

shaving foam or gel for this application. Whenever hairs build up in front

of the comb, remove them.

Trimming on the skin in sensitive areas (e.g. genital area) with the

«sensitive» attachment (1a)
For trimming in sensitive areas and improved skin care, you should use

the «sensitive» attachment (1a) (picture b). Snap it onto the trimmer (2)

as shown until it clicks into place. Press the on/off switch (6) to turn on.

Gently move the cruZer body against the direction of hair growth with

the comb tips pointing forward. In sensitive areas take special care that

the skin is always stretched to avoid injuries.

Trimming the hair length with trimming combs «medium» and «long»
The trimming combs (1b) / (1c) allow you to cut the hair to 2 different

lengths («medium» = 3 mm or «long» = 8 mm).
Start with the «long» trimming comb (1c) to acquire practice. Gently

move the cruZer body against the direction of hair growth with the comb

tips pointing forward (picture c).

• Combishave («1+2»):
Trimming and shaving in one stroke for a close shave of long haired

sections with the trimmer (2) and shaving system (3)
The combishave is suitable for large areas like chest and back.
Press the «

» button and extend the slider to the «1+2» setting

9

(picture d).
Press the on/off switch (6) to turn on the cruZer body. The trimmer first

raises all long hairs and cuts them off. The shaving system (3) follows to

smooth away any stubble.
For best results, always make sure that both, the trimmer and the

shaving system are in contact with the skin. When using this function,

we recommend using Gillette shaving foam or gel.
For sensitive areas, we recommend starting with the «sensitive»

attachment (1a) and then finish with the shaving system (3).

• Shave («2»):
For a close shave of stubbled areas with the shaving system (3)
Pressing the «

setting «2» (picture e).
Place the shaving system (3) on the stretched skin and gently move it

against the direction of hair growth.
Do not apply too much pressure and always keep your skin stretched.
Make sure the shaving system is in full contact with the skin.
When using the shaving system, we recommend using Gillette shaving

foam or gel.

Protection sleeve / holder for the shower

The cruZer body comes with a protective cover that can also be used as a
shower holder.
When used as a protective cover, insert the cruZer body with the trimmer
inside.
When using it as holder, insert the cruZer body with the trimmer outside
(see picture 9).

» button, extend the slider (5) as far as it will go to

Cleaning and maintenance

After each use, clean the cruZer body.

Remove the trimming comb and brush it out.
You may also use the brush to clean the trimmer if it has been used for dry
applications only.

If you have used the cruZer body with shaving gel or foam, rinse it under hot,
running water as shown (in picture f). Shake well to remove excess water
and leave to dry.
Apply a drop of light machine oil onto the trimmer on a weekly basis.

10

Replacing the shaving system

The shaving system (3) has to be replaced when the green stripe becomes
discoloured. Use Gillette Fusion cartridges only.
Extend the slider, press the release button (4) to eject the used shaving
system.
Insert the appliance into the refill organizer to collect a new one (picture g).

In case the cruZer body has dropped onto the shaving system, replace the
shaving system for safety reasons.
