Shaving
> Use this Groomer for its intended household
use as described in this manual.
k Do not use this Groomer to shave or trim
facial or scalp hair. The Groomer should only
be used on skin below the neckline.
I When shaving sensitive areas for the first time,
you may feel some discomfort, irritation or
reddening of the skin. This is normal as your
skin needs time to adjust to shaving.
I If your hair is longer than .40 inch /10 millimeters,
trim hair using a trimmer comb first for optimum
shaving results.
> For dry use, be certain that your skin is clean
and dry before using the Groomer.
k For wet use, you may prepare your skin with
lathered soap or shaving foam before using the
Groomer.
I Make sure the shaving foil is in complete
contact with your skin for the closest shave
and minimum foil wear.
k Pressing too hard may cause skin irritations.
I Practice is best for optimum results.

Groomer, remove it by gently pushing the
outer comb tooth sideways with your thumb
(Fig-4).

button.

and gently press Groomer to skin and move
it slowly and smoothly against the direction

Trimming
I
If you are trimming for the first time, be
careful. Do not move the Groomer too fast.

prevent accidentally trimming hairs too short.
I Trimming is easier and more effective when
skin and hair are dry.
IM Attach desired trimming comb by snapping it
onto the Groomer. The tip of the comb can
point in either direction (Fig. 6).
Trimming Length Setting Table

the direction of hair growth making sure the
tips of the comb point in the same direction
as you are moving the Groomer. Always
make smooth and gentle movements and be
sure the surface of the comb always stays in
contact with your skin (Fig. 7).
NOTE: Since all hairs do not grow in the same
direction, you may want to try different trimming
positions (i.e. upwards, downwards, or across).
Practice is best for optimum results.
□ Turn Groomer OFF by pressing the on/off
button.
