Maintenance
Cleaning the Cutting Head

- Carefully remove the cutting head from the shaver body.
- Use the provided cleaning brush to remove any trapped hairs from the blades and inside the shaver body.
- Do not rinse the cutting head or shaver body with water, as this is a dry-use appliance.
- Reattach the cutting head securely.
Lubricating the Blades
To maintain optimal performance and blade longevity, lubricate the blades regularly (e.g., after every few uses):
- After cleaning, apply one or two drops of the provided lubricating oil onto the blades.
- Turn the shaver ON for a few seconds to distribute the oil evenly.
- Turn OFF the shaver and wipe off any excess oil with a soft cloth.

Store the shaver in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children. Ensure it is clean and dry before storing.
