The high precision head is ideal for detailed styling and removing hairs from eyebrows, face, and other sensitive areas. Use gentle, short strokes against the direction of hair growth for optimal results. This head can also be used with included templates for creative shaping.

Using the Slim Bikini Shaping Head

The T-shaped slim bikini shaping head is specifically designed for use in the bikini area to create precise lines, shapes, or contours without irritation. Hold the trimmer flat against the skin and move it slowly against the direction of hair growth.

Using the Trimming Combs

The two bikini zone trimming combs (5 mm and 8 mm) fit over the slim bikini shaping head. These combs allow you to trim hairs to a uniform length, creating a smooth bikini line. Select the desired comb length, attach it, and move the trimmer against the direction of hair growth.

Eyebrow Shaping

The high precision head can also be used for styling your eyebrows. Carefully trim stray hairs or shape your eyebrows by moving the trimmer gently along the desired contour. For best results, use without a comb for precise shaping.

Maintenance

Cleaning

Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and hygiene:

  • After each use, turn off the trimmer and remove the attachment head.
  • Use the provided cleaning brush to remove any trapped hairs from the trimmer head and the main unit.
  • The trimmer heads can be rinsed under running water. Ensure they are completely dry before reattaching or storing.
  • Do not immerse the main trimmer unit in water.

Storage

Store the trimmer and its accessories in the provided storage pouch in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure the trimmer is clean and dry before storing.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your Braun Silk-épil FG1100, please refer to the following common solutions:

  • Trimmer not turning on: Check if the AAA battery is correctly inserted and has sufficient charge. Replace the battery if necessary.
  • Poor trimming performance or pulling hair: Ensure the trimmer head is clean and free of hair buildup. The blades may be dull and require replacement if performance does not improve after cleaning. Ensure hair is trimmed to a shorter length before using the bikini shaping head for best results.
  • Skin irritation: Ensure you are not applying excessive pressure. Always use on clean, dry skin.
  • Attachments not fitting securely: Ensure the attachment is correctly aligned with the main unit and pushed firmly until it clicks.
