INTRODUCTION

This tool does it all, now so can you. The heads click on and off, so you can switch from facial to body grooming without breaking your shaving stride. And, if this wasn’t versatile enough, use the styler head for impressively even stubble and beard trimming.

BEFORE FIRST USE

Important

- Before putting on or taking off any parts or performing any cleaning, maintenance or storage, be sure to turn appliance off, unplug from outlet and remove power cord from appliance.

CHARGING/(RE)CHARGING

- Charging or (re)charging at temperatures below 40°F or higher than 95°F adversely affects lifetime of batteries.

- Do not charge razor in a pouch.

1 Connect the small plug directly to the

appliance and connect the charging plug into any 100V to 240V AC outlet. Use only the power cord provided.

- An adapter plug may be necessary for charging plug usage in some foreign countries. Use an attachment plug adapter of the proper

conguration for the power outlet. The charging

plug will automatically convert to work on 100V to 240V AC systems.

- During charging the battery symbol blinks green.

ENGLISH

2 Charging and (re)charging requires 1 full hour

for a cordless shaving time of up to 40 minutes.

Note: First time charging or charging after a long period of non-use requires 90 minutes of charge time.

- When the battery is fully charged, the battery

symbol lights up green continuously. After approximately 30 minutes, the light goes out.

- When the battery is almost empty, the plug

symbol blinks orange.

Tip: Depending on your shaving/styling behavior and beard type, the operating time may vary over time.

QUICK CHARGE

The quick charge is indicated by the green battery symbol and orange plug symbol blinking alternately. When the battery symbol no longer blinks orange after approximately 5 minutes, the appliance contains enough energy for a touch up.

SKIN ADAPTATION PERIOD

- At rst you may not get as close a shave as you expect, or your face may even become slightly irritated. This is normal since your beard and skin will need time to adjust. Invest 3 weeks with regular shaves and you’ll soon experience the full potential of your new razor.

- Stick with it! If you alternate shaving methods during the adjustment period, it may make it more

difcult to adapt.

ENGLISH

SHAVING

- Use this appliance for its intended household use as described in this manual.

Styling Tips

- To prevent trimming your beard and moustache too short, make sure your facial hair is dry.

- Start trimming near one ear and trim down to your chin. Then repeat the same on your other side. This will help maintain an even trimming balance on your face.

ENGLISH

Using Beard Styler with Comb

- Use the comb when trimming your beard.

- The length settings on the beard styler attachment correspond to the remaining hair length of your beard after cutting.

- Choose any setting between 3/64-11/64 in. (1-4.5mm).

- If you are new to trimming, use the maximum setting (11/64 in./4.5mm) to prevent accidentally trimming hairs too shor t.

right (2) to select desired hair length setting.

2 Turn appliance ON.

3 Style your beard as desired always making sure

the front of the comb is in full contact with the skin and move the appliance against the direction of hair growth.

Note: If cut hairs accumulate in the comb, turn the appliance off, remove comb and blow and/or shake hair out of the comb.

Tip: Try different trimming positions (i.e. upwards, downwards or across) since all hairs do not grow in the same direction. Practice for best results.
