SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Before use
This Wet/Dry shaver can be used for
wet shaving with shaving lather or for
dry shaving. You can use this water
tight shaver in the shower and clean
it in water. Treat yourself to wet lather
shaves for at least three weeks and
notice the difference. Your Panasonic
WET/DRY shaver requires a little
time to get used to because your skin
and beard need about a month to
adjust to any new shaving method.
Charge the shaver for at least 8 hours
before using it for the first time or
when it has not been in use for more
than six months.

How to use the wall mount
The charging adaptor can be hung
on the wall using wood screws (in
cluded).
1. Select an appropriate location on
the wall where the screws can go
in.
2. Attach the wall mount to the wall
as shown with the wood screws,
making sure that the arrow points
up.
3. Slide the charging adaptor
grooves into the wall mount until
it clicks in.
To remove the charging adaptor from
the wall mount, slide the adaptor up
ward.
Charging
(see fig. 2)
Place the charging adaptor upright
on a flat surface or mount it on a wall.
Plug the adaptor into an AC outlet.
It will adjust automatically to voltages
between ^ 00-120 and 220-240V AC.
In some areas, a special plug adap
tor may be required.
Switch the shaver to the “ 0 • charge ’
position and place it upright into the
charging adaptor with the switch fac
ing toward the front.
The charge indicator lamp will glow
red and it will stay on until the shaver
is removed from the adaptor.
You can fully charge the shaver in 8
hours if it seems to be losing speed.
A full charge will supply enough
power for about 7 shaves (three min
utes per shave for a normal beard).
You can always store your shaver in
the charging adaptor to maintain full
power capacity. This shaver cannot
be overcharged.
Before traveling, charge it fully for 8
hour if you will not be taking the
charging adaptor with you.
For a better shave
Put a thin tayer of shaving foam on
your face which works as lubricator.
Shaving foam is the most suitable
among many other shaving aids(gel,
soap, cream, etc). Do not put a thick
layer of shaving foam as it becomes
messy. If the shaving head is clogged
with foam, simply rinse it under run
ning water.
Hold the shaver at a right angle (90°)
to your skin (see fig. 3). Depress the
switch lock button and slide the On/
Off switch upward to turn the shaver
on. Start out shaving by applying
gentle pressure to your face. Stretch
your skin with your free hand and
move the shaver back and forth in
the direction of your beard. You may
gently increase the amount of pres
sure as your skin becomes accus
tomed to this shaver. Applying exces
sive pressure does not provide a
closer shave.
Using the trimmer
(see fig. 4)
Shavirig longer, curly hairs under
the chin
Slide the trimmer switch up to the 1st
position. This position makes the
trimmer an intercept cutter, cutting
long hairs while the outer foil shaves
shorter hairs. Make sure that the trim
mer is facing outward away from the
neck.
Trimming sideburns (see fig. 5)
Slide the trimmer switch up to the 2nd
position.
Place the trimmer at a right angle to
your skin and move it downward to
trim sideburns.
Cleaning your shaver
After every shave, press the foil frame
release button to pop open the foil
frame. Turn the shaver on and rinse
the inner blade(s) under running
water or in a basin (see fig. 6). After
rinsing, switch the shaver off and
leave it to dry without closing the foil
frame and the protective cap. After
the shaving head dries, close the foil
frame and replace the protective cap
on the shaver.
Replacing shaving head
components
With daily use, and depending on
thickness of beard, the outer foil may
need to be replaced every year and
the inner blade(s) every 2 years.
Replacing the outer foil
(see fig. 7)
Squeeze the outer foil release but
tons and lift the outer foil upward to
remove it. To insert the new outer foil,
press down until it snaps into place.
Replacing the inner blades
(see fig. 8)
Press the foil frame release button
to pop open the foil frame. Pull the
foil frame vertically out of the upright
shaver. Remove the inner blade one
at a time by grasping it firmly at both
ends and pulling straight away from
the shaver. To insert the new inner
