Cleaning & Maintenance

How To Use

CARE FOR YOUR SHAVER

To ensure long lasting performance of
your shaver, clean the head assembly
regularly. The easiest and the most
hygienic way to clean the shaver is by
rinsing the shaving head after use with
warm water. Always keep the protec­tive headguard on the shaving head
when the shaver is not in use.

AFTER EACH USE

1. Ensure the shaver is turned off.

2. Press the release buttons to open
the shaver head.

3. Blow on the foils to remove any
loose debris.

4. Brush or rinse the accumulated
hair from the main body of the shav­er, shaving head and cutter assembly.

5. Leave the head assembly open to
let the shaver dry completely.

6. Return the shaving head to its
original position and snap in place.

NOTE:

n Ensure that the shaver is turned off

when cleaning.

n Do not clean the shaving foils with

the brush.

n At regular intervals, put a drop of

sewing machine oil onto the foils
and cutters head.

REPLACING THE FOILS & CUTTERS

Signs that your foils and cutters need
replacing:
n Irritation: As foils get worn, you may

experience skin irritation.

n Pulling: As the cutters wear, your

shave may not feel as close and you
may feel your cutter pulling on your
hair.

n Wear: You may notice that the

cutters have worn through the foils.

To ensure the continued highest quality
performance from your shaver, we
recommend that foils and cutters are
replaced every 6 months.

NOTE: The replacement part for your
shaver model is SPW-440.

creams or oil.

FOR EVERYDAY SHAVING

1. Remove protective cap.

2. Turn the shaver on.

3. Hold the shaver at a right angle to
your skin and move the shaver against
the direction of the hair growth.

FOR SHAVING LONGER HAIR

Use the interecept trimmer to cut hair
short, and then use the flexible foils for
a closer shave.

1. Turn shaver on.

2. Hold the shaver with the trimmer
slightly tilted (approximately at a 45º
angle).

3. Move the trimmer slowly against the
direction of the hair growth.

4. After trimming, move the foils over
the same area for a smooth, closer
shave.

TRIMMING AND SHAPING

1. Attach the bikini trimmer headguard.

2. Turn the shaver on.

3. Hold the shaver at a right angle
to your skin and press down gently.

4. Edge and shape the area as desired.

5. After shaving, turn off shaver.

FOR BEST SHAVING PERFORMANCE

We recommend that you use your new
shaver daily for two or three weeks to
allow time to find the optimum shaving
methods for your particular type of hair
growth patterns.

CAUTION

If your skin is easily irritated by shav­ing, or you suffer from skin allergies,
you should test a section of your arm
or leg before using the shaver.

NOTE:

n The shaver IS suitable for use in the

bath or shower.

n Do not rinse with water hotter than

160ºF.

n Do not completely submerge the

shaver in water.

HOW TO INSTALL REPLACEMENT
CUTTING HEAD FOILS

1. Turn off the shaver.

2. Press the head release buttons at the side of the

4. Using your thumbs, press down on the plastic ends of
the foils (C). The foil assembly will release and slide
down and out of the shaving head.

5. Position the new replacement foils into the shaving
head (L) and press from the inside of the head to snap
them in place. WARNING: The metal foils flex and
damage easily, so be aware to only press on the plastic
ends of the foils.

TO REPLACE THE INTERNAL CUTTERS

1. Turn off the shaver.

2. Press the head release buttons at the side of the
shaving head and remove the shaving head.

3. Grasp the internal cutters under the plastic holders and
pull up firmly to detach the old cutters.

bottom of the new cutter into the center of the small
spring at the center of the holder, then pressing the
cutter down to snap it onto the stem.
