Setup
1. Unboxing and Inspection
Carefully remove the fabric shaver and all accessories from the packaging. Inspect the device for any signs of damage. Ensure all components are present: the fabric shaver unit, a USB charging cable, and a cleaning brush (often integrated into the unit).
2. Initial Charging
Before first use, fully charge the fabric shaver. Connect the provided Micro USB cable to the charging port on the device and plug the other end into a compatible USB power source (e.g., laptop, power bank, wall adapter). A full charge typically takes approximately 2 hours. The indicator light will show charging status (refer to device for specific light behavior, usually red for charging, green/off for full charge).

Operating Instructions
1. Preparing the Fabric
Lay the garment or fabric flat on a hard, smooth surface. Ensure the fabric is taut to prevent snagging. For delicate fabrics, place a thin cloth underneath or use less pressure.
2. Activating the Shaver
Locate the ON/OFF switch, typically on the side of the device. Slide the switch to the "ON" position. The blades will begin to rotate rapidly.
3. Lint Removal
Gently press the shaver head onto the fabric. Move the shaver in small, circular motions or back and forth over the pilled or lint-covered areas. Avoid excessive pressure, as this can damage the fabric or the shaver. The shaver's powerful suction will draw the removed lint into the transparent collection container.

4. Using the Integrated Brush
For stubborn lint or to pre-treat areas, use the integrated garment brush located on the back of the shaver. Gently brush the fabric to loosen lint and prepare it for shaving.

5. Safety Feature
The device is equipped with a safety lock. If the blade cover is not securely attached or is opened during operation, the shaver will automatically shut off to prevent injury.
Maintenance
Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your fabric shaver.
1. Emptying the Lint Collector
When the transparent lint collector is full, or after each use, slide it off the main unit. Dispose of the collected lint. The collector is designed for easy removal and reattachment.
2. Cleaning the Blades and Mesh
Carefully twist or unclip the metal mesh cover from the shaver head. Use the small cleaning brush (often found within the unit or as a separate accessory) to remove any trapped lint or debris from the blades and the inside of the mesh cover. Be cautious as the blades are sharp. Do not use water to clean the blades or internal components.

3. Reassembly
Once cleaned, securely reattach the metal mesh cover and the lint collector. Ensure they click into place to activate the safety switch.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Shaver does not turn on. | Battery is depleted. Blade cover or lint collector not securely attached. | Charge the device fully. Ensure the blade cover and lint collector are properly installed and locked into place. |
| Lint not being removed effectively. | Lint collector is full. Blades are dull or clogged with lint. Insufficient pressure on fabric. | Empty the lint collector. Clean the blades and mesh. Consider replacing blades if dull (replacement blades may be available from manufacturer). Apply gentle, consistent pressure. Ensure fabric is taut. |
| Device stops during use. | Safety lock activated (blade cover loose/open). Battery is low. | Check and secure the blade cover. Recharge the device. |
| Battery charges slowly or drains quickly. | Charging cable/adapter issue. Battery degradation over time. | Try a different Micro USB cable and/or power adapter.
