- Replace the battery compartment cover and secure it firmly.
3.2 Initial Charge (if applicable)

4. Operation
4.1 Turning On/Off
To turn on the shaver, slide the power switch located on the body of the unit to the "ON" position. To turn off, slide the switch to the "OFF" position.
4.2 Shaving Technique
- Ensure your skin is clean and dry for best results, though the shaver supports wet/dry application.
- Hold the shaver at a 90-degree angle to the skin.
- Gently glide the shaver against the direction of hair growth.
- Do not press too hard; the hypoallergenic stainless steel blades are designed to remove hair effectively with light pressure.
- For sensitive areas, stretch the skin taut to achieve a closer shave and prevent irritation.

- Rinse the foil head and cutter blades under running water. Ensure all hair residue is removed.
- Allow all parts to air dry completely before reassembling the shaver.
- Once dry, reattach the foil head assembly securely.
