5. Operating Instructions

5.1 General Shaving

For optimal results, ensure your skin is clean and dry. Turn the shaver ON. Gently press the shaver against your skin, moving it in the direction of hair growth for a comfortable shave. For a closer shave, you may gently stretch the skin. The flexible foils are designed to contour to the curves of your face and neck.

The integrated pop-up trimmer is ideal for precise detailing, shaping sideburns, or trimming longer hairs before a close shave. To activate, slide the trimmer switch upwards. Use short, controlled strokes for accurate results.

Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your shaver. After each use, turn the shaver OFF. Press the release button on the side to detach the foil head. Gently tap out any loose hair clippings. Use the provided cleaning brush to remove any remaining hair from the foils and cutters. Important: Do NOT rinse the shaver, foil assembly, or cutters under water.

For continued peak performance, it is recommended to replace the foil assembly and cutters every six months. Replacement parts can be purchased from authorized Andis retailers or online.

7. Troubleshooting

  • Shaver not turning on: Ensure the shaver is fully charged. Check if the ON/OFF switch is engaged.
  • Poor shaving performance: Clean the foils and cutters thoroughly. Ensure the foils and cutters are not damaged or dull; replace if necessary.
  • Battery not charging: Verify the charger is properly connected to both the shaver and a working power outlet. Ensure the shaver is switched OFF during charging.
