suitable for shaving the underarms (fig. 1).

properly closed during wet use and when cleaning
the appliance.

Preparing the appliance for use
The Ladyshave runs on 2 R6 AA 1.5 volt
batteries. We strongly advise you to use Philips
LR6 PowerLife batteries. They supply sufficient
energy for approx. 40 minutes of shaving.
1 Pull the battery cap downwards with some
force to remove it (fig. 5).
2 Put the batteries in the battery holder.
Make sure the + and - poles of the batteries are
pointing in the right direction (fig. 6).
Make sure your hands and the appliance are dry
when inserting the batteries.
3 Push the battery cap back onto the appliance.
To avoid damage due to battery leakage:
Do not expose the Ladyshave to direct sunlight.
Remove the batteries if the appliance is not going
to be used for a month or more.
Do not leave empty batteries in the appliance.
Using the appliance
1 Check whether the softselect slide on the
shaving head is in the appropriate position for
the body part you wish to shave (fig. 7).
2 Switch the Ladyshave on (fig. 8).
3 Place the trimmers and the shaving foil
gently on the skin and move the Ladyshave
slowly over the skin against the direction of hair
growth while pressing it lightly (fig. 9).
Make sure that both trimmers and the shaving foil
are always completely in contact with the skin.
Cleaning the appliance
Clean the Ladyshave every time you have used it.
Do not use any corrosive detergents, scouring
pads or cloths, petrol, acetone etc. to clean the
appliance.

Do not exert any pressure on the shaving foil to
avoid damage.
3 Always put the protective cap on the shaving
head to avoid damage to the foil.

shaving head. Make sure you also brush away
any hairs that have collected under the
trimmers (fig. 10).
