Shaving

Warning: Before you use the appliance,

damaged blade before you use the appliance
(see chapter ‘Replacement’).

Shaving tips and tricks

- Make sure that the blade is in full contact with
the skin by placing it flat on the skin.

- For the best result, move the appliance against
the grain.

- Make long strokes while pressing lightly.

- You can use the appliance dry or wet with gel
or foam, even in the shower.

- Shaving a clean beard and face gives the best
results.

Shaving

1 Switch on the appliance.

appliance up or against the grain in long strokes
while you press it lightly (Fig. 10).

Note: Make sure you hold the surface of the
blade flat against your skin (Fig. 11).

3 Switch off and clean the appliance after every

use (see 'Cleaning and maintenance').

Edging

You can also use both edges of the blade to create
sharp lines and perfect edges. Hold the appliance
in such a way that the blade is perpendicular to the
skin and one of its edges touches the skin. This
allows more precise detailing of sideburns and the
area around the mouth and nose.

2 Place the edge of the blade perpendicular onto

the skin (Fig. 13).
Note: To use the blade for creating sharp edges

and lines, use either edge of the blade (Fig. 12).

pressure (Fig. 14).

4 Switch off and clean the appliance after every

use (see 'Cleaning and maintenance').

Trimming with comb tips and tricks

The click-on stubble combs allow you to trim hair
to different lengths. This appliance comes with 4
click-on stubble combs: 5mm, 3mm, 2mm, 1mm.
Start with the 5mm comb to acquire practice with
this appliance. The indication on each comb
corresponds to the hair length in millimeters.

- Always make sure that the tips of the click-on
stubble comb point in the direction in which
you move the appliance.

- Make sure that the flat part of the comb is
always in full contact with the skin to obtain an
even trimming result (Fig. 15).

- Since hair grows in different directions, you
need to move the appliance in different
directions as well (upward, downward or
across).

- Trimming is easier when the skin and hair are
dry.

Trimming with comb

1 Place the comb onto the blade, with the teeth

of the comb pointing upwards (Fig. 16).
Note: Always trim in the direction of the teeth of

the comb. This will give you the best results.

pull it off the blade (Fig. 18).
