• The adaptor automatically adjusts to a main voltage between 100V and 240V.

• Connect the shaver to the adaptor and then to the mains.

• Charge time for the battery from empty to full charge is 16 hours.

• Run time from fully charged is up to 40 mins.

• Note: To preserve the life of your batteries, let them run out completely every 6
months and then fully charge.

• Do not recharge your shaver after each use as this will shorten the life of the battery.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

SHAV ING

2. Stretch the skin with your free hand so the hairs stand upright.

TIPS FOR BEST RESULTS

• Ensure your skin is dry. Always hold the shaver at right angles to the skin so that all
three heads are touching the skin with equal pressure.

• Use moderate to slow stroking movements. The use of short circular motions in
stubborn areas may obtain a closer shave, especially along the neck and chin line.

• DO NOT press hard against the skin in order to avoid damage to the rotar y heads.
