5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Turning On/Off
To turn on the shaver, slide the power switch to the 'ON' position. To turn it off, slide the switch back to the 'OFF' position. The shaver features a switch lock to prevent accidental activation.
5.2 Shaving Technique
For optimal results, ensure your skin is clean and dry. Hold the shaver at a right angle to your skin and gently glide it against the direction of hair growth. The LS 2281 features a cutting blade with two different edges (one straight, one rounded) for versatile hair removal. Experiment with both edges to find what works best for different areas of your body.
- For longer hair: Use the straight edge first to trim hair to a shorter length.
- For close shave: Use the rounded edge for a smoother finish.
Do not press too hard, as this can cause irritation or damage to the skin and the shaver blades. Stretch the skin taut with your free hand to help the shaver glide more smoothly.
6. Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your shaver.
6.1 Cleaning the Cutting Head
- Ensure the shaver is turned off and unplugged from any power source.
- Remove the protective cap.
- Carefully detach the cutting head from the shaver body. Refer to the diagram in the manual (if available) for specific instructions on your model.
- Use the provided cleaning brush to remove any trapped hairs from the blades and the shaver body.
- If the cutting head is washable, rinse it under running water. Ensure it is completely dry before reattaching. Do not rinse the main body of the shaver unless specified as waterproof.
