Setup
1. Battery Installation
The Prym Maxi Lint Shaver requires 2 x AA / 1.5 V batteries (not included).
- Locate the battery compartment cover, typically on the handle or back of the device.
- Slide or unclip the cover to open the compartment.
- Insert two AA batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+/-) as indicated inside the compartment.
- Replace the battery compartment cover securely.
Operating Instructions
1. Preparing the Fabric
Lay the garment or fabric flat on a hard, smooth surface. Stretch the fabric taut to ensure an even surface for shaving. This helps prevent accidental damage to the fabric.
2. Adjusting the Shaving Distance
The device features a two-stage distance adjustment mechanism. This allows you to select the appropriate shaving distance based on the material type.
- Identify the adjustment switch or ring on the shaver head.
- Select a lower setting for delicate fabrics and a higher setting for thicker, more durable materials or heavily pilled areas.
3. Using the Lint Shaver
- Switch on the device using the power button.
- Gently glide the perforated shaving head over the pilled areas of the fabric with light pressure.
- Move the shaver in small, circular motions or straight strokes.
- Avoid pressing too hard or holding the shaver in one spot for too long, as this may damage the fabric.
- Continue until the lint and knots are removed and the fabric appears smooth.
- Switch off the device after use.
Maintenance
1. Emptying the Lint Collection Container
The lint shaver collects removed lint in a transparent container. Empty this container regularly to maintain optimal performance.
- Ensure the device is switched OFF.
- Carefully detach the collection container from the main body of the shaver.
- Discard the collected lint.
- Reattach the collection container securely.
2. Cleaning the Shaving Head and Blades
For thorough cleaning, the device can be easily disassembled. A small brush is typically included for this purpose.
- Ensure the device is switched OFF and batteries are removed.
- Gently twist or unclip the shaving head cover to expose the blades.
- Use the provided brush to carefully remove any trapped lint or debris from the blades and the inside of the perforated screen.
- Caution: The blades are sharp. Handle with care to avoid injury.
- Wipe the exterior of the device with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use water or harsh cleaning agents.
- Reassemble the shaving head and cover, ensuring all parts are securely in place.
