OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

CHARGING

•Before rst operation of the shaver in battery mode, you

should recharge the shaver for at least 60 minutes.

•In order to maximise the battery life, you should allow the

batteries to completely discharge before recharging them.

•The shaver runs on 2 NiMH high performance batteries with

protection against overcharging. The batteries can be recharged
without a risk of overcharging or lowering performance.

•Please note that the battery life will decrease during extended

periods of storage. For this reason, long recharging times
should be avoided because of the interruption between the
charging and discharging cycles.

1.Place the shaver on a level surface.

2.Connect the charger to the shaver.

3.Insert the charger into an easily accessible power point.

4.Recharging status is indicated by a green LED that lights up

in the recharging display (4).

5.After charging for about 60 minutes, the batteries will be fully

charged. This is indicated by a green ashing LED..

6.Once the batteries are fully charged, the shaver can be used

in battery mode for about 45 minutes.

7.Unplug the power cable from the power point and from the

shaver as soon as the batteries are fully recharged.

8.The shaver can also be recharged using the “quick recharge”

process that takes about 3 minutes. This status is indicated

by the green LED in the recharging display (4). This charge
is sufcient for a single shave.

9.If your shaver stops during shaving due to its batteries

being insufciently charged, you can continue shaving by

connecting it to a power point.

OPERATION

WARNING. Do not operate the shaver if the shaving foil is

SHAVE

•The shaver is suitable for dry as well as wet shaves (Wet & Dry).

•Initial applications may result in a temporary redness or irritation

of the skin, since the skin must rst get used to this type of

shaving. This is normal and usually takes between 2 and 4
weeks.

•Remove the protective cap (1) or trimmer cap (8) by pressing the

unlocking buttons (9) on both sides and by removing the cap.

•Use the on / off switch; (3) to switch on the shaver.

•Hold the shaver at a right angle to the surface of the skin and

move it carefully and in circular motion over your face.

•Shave against the direction of beard growth.

•At parts of the face that are harder to shave, such as the chin,

stretch the skin for a better result.

•After shaving, switch off the shaver and clean the cutting

elements carefully.

THREE- / FIVE-DAY BEARD SHAVER

• You can use the long hair trimmer (6) and the trimmer cap (8) to

shave a three or ve day beard. Click the trimmer cap (8) onto the
blade head (2).

• Slide the long hair trimmer (6) into the desired position.

a)Position 1 will produce a beard length of approximately 4 mm

(ve-day beard)

b)Position 2 will produce a beard length of approximately 2 mm

(three-day beard)

NOTE: When using the attachment comb, there is no direct

contact between the shaving foil and the skin. This means
that the blade system will not receive its usual natural oil and
therefore additional oiling may be required.

• To ensure that your shaver continues to provide you with lasting

shaving quality, be sure to apply a drop of Wahl Clipper oil on
the foils after having cleaned the shaver after use. Remove the

trimmer cap (8) by pressing the unlocking buttons (9) on both

sides and pull off the trimmer cap.
