5. Operating Instructions

5.1 General Shaving Technique

To achieve the best results and prevent irritation, hold the shaver at a right angle (90 degrees) against your skin. Move the shaver slowly and gently against the grain of hair growth. Avoid pressing too hard, as this can damage the foils and cause skin irritation. For optimal results, use on short stubble or after trimming longer hairs.

Professional Shave: Use a trimmer to create short stubble, then follow up with the shaver for a smooth finish.

5.2 Powering On/Off

To turn the shaver ON, slide the power switch located on the side of the unit. To turn it OFF, slide the switch back to its original position. The shaver features an auto shutoff cover for convenience and safety.
