When switching from one type of shaver to another, your skin requires some time to adjust; facial skin adapts to new shaving methods within about one month. Parts list 1. Protective cap 2.

Trimmer CHARGING (Pic. 1) Before first use of the shaver and after long periods of disuse, the batteries must be charged for 5 hours: - Place the charger's plug (12) into the charging socket on the bottom of the shaver body and connect the charger to an electrical outlet; the charging indicator (8) will light. - Consecutive charging cycles should not exceed two hours. OPERATION - Remove the protective cap (1). - Turn on the power switch (6). - Lightly touch the skin and shave with soft motions against the hair growth. The best effects are achieved on stretched skin. - Turn the shaver power-switch (6) off when finished shaving. For wet shaving - Spread a thin layer of shaving foam onto your skin; it will act as a lubricant. In this case, shaving foam is the best thing to use among other means for sale (gel, soap, cream, etc.). Do not apply a thick layer of foam onto the skin, as it can reduce the shaving ability of the shaver. If the shaving head gets clogged with foam, simply rinse it under running water. Using the trimmer (Pic. 2, 3) - Move the trimmer switch (13) to the upper position. - Turn on the shaver with the switch (6). - Position the shaver at the correct angle to the skin and move it gradually down, evening the whiskers. - Turn off the shaver and move the trimmer switch (13) to the lower position.
