Battery performance is best if you recharge only when

higher than 95ºF adversely affects lifetime of batteries.

corded razor will reduce life of batteries.

will not recharge while being used corded.

5.

1 Connect cord to razor.Plug into any 120V to 240V AC/DC

outlet.Use only the cord provided.The green Charging
Indicator will light up to indicate razor is (re)charging.
An adaptor plug may be necessary for cord usage in some
foreign countries.Your new razor will automatically convert
internally to work on 100V to 240V AC/DC Systems.

Do not charge razor in pouch.

2 First time charging and recharging after non-use for

1 month or more requires a full 4 hours.

Recharging

recharging requires approximately 1 hour.

2 Disconnect the cord.Do not keep razor permanently

plugged into outlet.

for approximately 6 minutes gives enough energy for a
3 minute cordless shave.

HOWTO SHAVE WITH AN ELECTRIC RAZOR

Shaving with a clean,dry face gives the best results.

1 Turn razor ON.Shave against the direction of beard

growth using both straight and circular movements.

2 Stretch your skin with your free hand so blades

can lift and cut whiskers.
Gently press razor to skin,so
the floating heads can follow the contours of your

face. DONOTpress too hard. Too much pressure

can pinch the skin into the combs.

3 Turn razor OFF.
4 Put the protective razor head cap on the razor to

protect razor heads.

Replace Quadra Action razor heads (model # HQ6)

once a year for optimal shaving results.

TRIMMING

To groom sideburns and moustache:

1 Turn razor ON.
2 Push up Trimmer Slide Switch.

The Trimmer can be activated while the razor is

running.

7.

3 Hold Trimmer as shown and move in downward strokes

with gentle pressure.

4 Close Trimmer by sliding Trimmer switch down.
5 Turn razor OFF.

CLEANING

Every Week:Razor Heads

The easiest and most hygienic way to clean the razor
heads is to rinse them every week with hot water.
Water from the tap should be on a hot setting but
BE CAREFUL TO TEST WATER FIRST SO AS NOT
TO BURN OR SCALD HANDS.
Regular cleaning guarantees better shaving results.
You may also quickly rinse your razor heads after
each use.

1 Always,turn razor OFF,unplug from outlet and remove

cord from razor before cleaning.

2 Press the Razor Head Release Button,flip open the Razor

Head Assembly.

3 Clean razor heads and hair chamber by running under

hot water.

8.

4 Close the Razor Head A s s e m b ly and shake off excess water.
5 Open Razor Head Assembly again and leave open

to air dry.

6 You may also clean the hair chamber without water by

using the supplied brush.
DO NOT clean the razor heads with the brush.

CLEANING

Once A Month:Razor Heads

It is not necessary to take razor heads (cutters and heads)
apart.If you do take them apart,do not mix up the cutters
and heads as the shaving performance may be adversely
affected for several weeks before optimal shaving
performance is restored.

1 Turn razor OFF,remove the plug from the outlet and

cord from the razor.

2 Press the razor head release button and open the razor

head assembly.

3 Turn the wheel counterclockwise and remove the

retaining frame.

9.

4 Remove and clean one set at a time.
5 Separate the cutter from the head and rinse clean under

hot water.

Do not clean the razor heads with the brush.
Do not clean more than one cutter and head at a time,
since they are all matching sets.If you accidentally
interchange the cutters and heads,it could take several
weeks before optimal shaving performance is restored.

1 Replace the set back into the Head Assembly in such a

way that the sides with the little holes point to the
middle of the shaving unit.

Make sure that the two pointy edges of the head fit exactly
into the recesses.

1 Repeat the process for the other two sets of razor heads.
2 Replace the frame.
3 Press down and turn wheel clockwise until it locks into

place.

1 Replace the Razor Head Assembly back on razor.

If the razor heads have been properly inserted,a shiny
circle is visible in the middle of the razor head assembly.

10.

CLEANING

Once A Month:Razor Heads

For optimum performance, razor cutters and combs
should be cleaned in a degreasing liquid (e.g. Norelco
Razor Cleaner,Model RC1776,or alcohol) and lubricated
with Norelco Razor Lubricant,model AL80,or one drop

of mineral oil (in the center of the head).

Every Six Months:Trimmer

1 Turn razor OFF.
2 Push Trimmer Slide Switch up to pop up Trimmer.
