the shaving head.

5. Blow between the cutters
and tap the shaving head
softly to remove hair clippings.

6. Snap the cutting assembly back into the shav­ing head and replace the shaving head onto the

OILING THE INNER CUTTERS

To ensure maximum cutting performance, we
recommend that you lubricate the inner cut­ters occasionally. Release the cutting assembly,
as described above. Hold the cutting assembly
upside down and apply a few drops of light
mineral oil to the front and sides of inner cutters.
Wipe excess oil off with a soft, dry cloth.

CLEANING THE TRIMMER ATTACHMENT

Clean the blades of the trimmer attachment
after each use with the cleaning brush provided.
Important: Remove trimmer attachment from unit
before cleaning. (Remove trimmer attachment in
the same way as the shaving head).

BATTERY REMOVAL

Using a Phillips head screwdriver, remove the
screws from the top and inner housing of the
shaver. Lift and remove the printed circuit attached
to the batteries. Very carefully disconnect the con­nections before removing the batteries.

INSTRUCTIONS

DETACHABLE SHAVING HEAD

You will need to remove the shaving head in
order to clean the cutting assembly, and before
installing the trimmer attachment. The shav

­ing head contains the cutting assembly of the
CleanHead™ unit, comprised of the shaving
foils and inner cutters.

To remove the shaving head: Pull head up to
separate from housing.

To attach the shaving head: Align the marks
on the head and on the housing, and push head
down until it snaps into place. Note: The shaving
head will fit only one way.

CLEANING THE CUTTING
ASSEMBLY

1. Remove the shaving head
as instructed above.

2. Holding the shaving head
in one hand, turn it over to
expose the internal plastic
mechanism. Do not place
head upside down on any
surface, as this may damage the shaving foils.

3. Grab the two locking tabs and squeeze them

clean up the hairline.

To trim around the ear, hold
the clipper on its side, fac­ing down, and use the corner
of the trimmer in an arching
motion to get a clean edge to
the hairline around the ear.

ADjUSTABLE 3-POSITION TAPER CONTROL

The taper control switch at the back of the
trimmer attachment lets you gradually adjust
the closeness of the cut. For the closest cut and
the shortest hair, push taper switch all the way
to the right. To increase cutting length, slowly
push switch to the left. The three hair length
settings, from left to right, are 2.8mm, 1.8mm
and 0.8mm.

Packed-in hair can slow down any set of cutting
blades. To clean the blades, remove trimmer
attachment and brush the hair from the blades
using the cleaning brush provided. If you do this
after every use, especially with heavy hair cut­ting, the blades should remain free of cut hair.

If the blades stop cutting but do not stop running,
then it is time to replace the trimmer attachment.

STOP. COMB. CHECK.

For best results, do as the professionals do: comb
hair often, and check cutting results as you comb
to avoid unevenness.

slide the trimmer up from the bottom of the
hairline while gently pulling away from the
head as you go and finish with a scooping
motion. Repeat this around the back and
sides of the head.

Next, attach the 3/8"
attachment and run the
CleanHead

™

over the top
of the head, holding it
evenly to the scalp. Pull the
CleanHead™ toward you
from the front top of the head to the back.
Note: Hair should be cut against the way it
grows so as to get an even cut.

Now use the 1/4" attach­ment and hold a comb
perpendicular to the head
and use the clipper-over­comb technique to blend
the lower and mid area
of the head to eliminate
any line.

Remove the attachment
and trim the front hairline
by holding the CleanHead™
sideways with blade facing
down and touching the edge
to the hairline. Next, trim
the back of the hairline by
holding the CleanHead™
blade face down to the
bottom edge of the hairline
and pulling down. For a
more natural fade, you can
also use the CleanHead™
over comb technique to

BEFORE YOU START

1. The first time you use your CleanHead™, place
the unit in the charging stand so the domed
head is securely attached to the charging pin
on the stand.

2. Before using the unit for the first time,
charge continuously for 16 hours. Maximum
battery capacity will only be reached after
3 charging and discharging cycles. Always
place the unit in the charging base with the
On/Off switch in the Off position.

3. Plug the adapter into any wall outlet (at the
voltage listed on the label affixed to the adapt­er). This power unit is intended to be correctly
orientated in a vertical or floor mount position.
Unplug adapter when not in use.

4. The adaptor may become warm while charg­ing. This is normal.

5. Preserving the batteries: in order to maintain
the optimum capacity of the rechargeable
batteries, the unit should be recharged for
16 hours approximately every 3 months.

CLEAN OR BALD LOOK

To achieve the cleanest, cue ball look with the
CleanHead

™

shaving foils:

1. Use dry every day for maximum effectiveness

and easiest maintenance.

2. For growth of 3 days or more (hair length lon-

ger than stubble), use trimmer attachment to cut
hair short enough to feed into
shaving foils.

3. Use large, relaxed circular

motions. This allows the hair
to feed into the shaving foils.

4. Do not use excessive pressure – let the cut­ting system do the work. If skin turns red or gets
irritated, this means you are pressing too hard.

5. When shaving the back of the head and neck
area, tilt head as far forward as possible to stretch
the skin. This will result in a better cut and reduce
chances of occasional “nicking” of the skin.

6. Place free hand onto head to feel for stubble
that needs to be shaved an additional time.

7. The first few shaving times, this product will
take some extra time to shave the head.

NOTE: Allow 3 weeks for skin and hair to get
used to foil shaving.

CLOSE OR ULTRA-CLOSE LOOK

Using the trimmer attachment, always
cut from the back of the neck forward
to the crown, using the
3/8" comb first. Position
the comb attachment flat
against the head and slow­ly move the CleanHead

™

up through the hair. Use
the same technique for
the sides, cutting from the
bottom to the upper side
of the head. If you want
hair to be shorter, switch
to the 1/4" or 1/8" comb
attachment.

FADE CUT

For the best fade cut, start
with the 1/8" attachment
on your CleanHead

™

clip­per. Starting at the middle
of the nape of the head,

most effective, even cutting. If you should skip
a couple of days, use the trimmer attachment
first to cut the hairs short enough to be able to
be cut by the shaving foils. Or use the trimmer
attachment with taper control and the differ

­ent comb sizes to cut and maintain a close or
ultra-close look. The comfortable universal grip
encourages you to use whichever hand feels
most comfortable when cutting the different
areas of your head.
