IMPORTANT
The following information and precautions are important
when epilating:
w CAUTION: Methods of removing hair by the root can cause
in-grown hairs and minor skin injuries. Please consult your doctor
if you have any questions about the use of an epilator.
w Do not use the epilator head if you suffer from varicose veins,
spots or blemishes, or when the skin is irritated or if you have
in-grown hairs or a tendency to produce in-grown hairs. Consult
your doctor first.
w Any minor injury resulting from hair removal may allow
bacteria to penetrate the injury site potentially causing
small scars or a change in pigmentation of the skin.
The risk of infection may be minimized by thoroughly
cleaning the rotating discs before and/or after each use.
(See Cleaning section).
w The epilator should only be used after prior consultation with your
doctor if you have or experience:
• Open wounds
• Eczema, psoriasis (scaly eczema), inflamed skin reactions such as
folliculitis, skin rashes or the tendency to allergy or allergic skin
reactions
• Immune deficiency or disorders
• Couperose, rosacea, or varicose veins
• Pregnancy
• Reduced skin immunity as a result of diabetes, pregnancy,
Raynaud’s disease, etc.
• Hemophilia
• If you have moles, raised skin bumps, etc.
w If you have been or begin taking hormone medication, or recently
been pregnant, a change in your hormone levels may influence the
thickness, color or amount of hair growth. This is caused by the
hormonal changes, not by this method of hair removal.
w Clean the epilating head regularly following CLEANING
instructions.

To Charge/Recharge
w Fully charge trimmer before using for the first time or after non-use
for a long period of time.
w Battery performance is best if you recharge only when the battery
is (almost) completely empty.
wChargingorrechargingattemperaturesbelow40˚F(4,5°C)or
higherthan95˚F(35°C)adverselyaffectslifespanofthebattery.
w Continuously recharging trimmer will reduce lifespan of battery.
1 Be certain trimmer is OFF.
2 Insert the appliance plug directly into the trimmer (fig. 1).
3 Plug charging plug into any 120V AC outlet. Use only the
cord provided.
4 The charging light on the adapter will light to indicate the
trimmer is charging (fig. 2).
w It will take approximately 10 hours to fully charge the trimmer for
a cordless trimming time of up to 60 minutes.
NOTE: After the trimmer is fully charged, the charging light will remain lit.
3 Press the hair length selector (1) and slide it up or down (2)
to the desired hair length setting (fig. 5). The selected
setting number will appear on the colored circle on the handle.
See Table 1 for settings.
w If you are trimming for the first time, start by using the comb at the
maximum trimming length setting (#5). As you become familiar with
the settings, adjust hair length selector to desired trimming length.
Selector will “click” into position at each setting.
4 Switch the trimmer ON.
5 To trim in the most effective way, move the trimmer against the
direction of hair growth (fig. 6). Make sure the surface of the
comb always stays in contact with the skin. For easier trimming,
stretch the skin with your free hand (fig. 7).
NOTE: Since all hairs do not grow in the same direction, you may want
to try different trimming directions (i.e., upwards, downwards,
or across). Practice is best for optimum results.
w If a lot of hair has accumulated in the comb, remove the comb and
blow and/or shake the hair out of the comb. You can also use the
cleaning brush provided to remove hair from the comb area.

Epilating (HP6378 only)
Use the epilating head to epilate your bikini line.
w Make sure your skin is clean, free from grease and creams. Do not
apply any cream before using. Hairs are easier to remove after a
bath or a shower, but your skin should be completely dry before
using the epilating head.
w If your hair is longer than .20in/5mm, first trim hair using the
precision trimmer with the precision comb at setting #3.
w With first time use you may feel some discomfort, irritation or
experience reddening of the skin. This is because the hairs are
actually being removed at the root. The discomfort you feel will
tend to lessen with successive uses. However, if the irritation
remains for more than three days, consult your doctor.
w After epilation, regrowth of hairs tends to be softer both in
appearance and in touch.
1 Be certain trimmer is in the OFF position.
2 Put the epilating head on the handle.
3 Switch trimmer ON.
4 To epilate the most effective way, move the epilating head against
the direction of hair growth. Make sure the surface of the
epilating head always stays in contact with the skin (fig. 15).
For easier epilating, stretch the skin with your free hand.
Do not exert any pressure when epilating.
5 Turn off trimmer. Rinse epilating head clean after each use.
