you should test a section of your arm or leg before using the shaver.

CARE FOR YOUR SHAVER

To ensure long lasting performance of your shaver, clean the head assembly

shaving head and cutter assembly.

NOTE:

• Ensure that the shaver is turned off when cleaning.

• Do not clean the shaving foils with the brush.

• At regular intervals, put a drop of sewing machine oil onto the foils and

cutters head.

Irritation: As foils get worn, you may experience skin irritation.

Pulling: As the cutters wear, your shave may not feel as close and you may
