Operating Instructions

The HQ8 replacement heads are designed for both dry and wet shaving, offering flexibility based on your preference.

Dry Shaving

For a quick and convenient shave, use the shaver on dry skin. Ensure your skin is clean and free of any creams or lotions for optimal results. Move the shaver in small, circular motions over your face and neck.

Wet Shaving

For a more comfortable and refreshing shave, especially for sensitive skin, use the shaver with shaving foam or gel. Apply your preferred shaving product to your face and neck, then shave in small, circular motions. Rinse the shaver head under running water during and after shaving.

Maintenance

Regular cleaning and proper care will extend the lifespan of your replacement heads and maintain optimal shaving performance.

• Daily Cleaning: After each shave, open the shaver head and rinse the blades and shaving unit thoroughly under warm running water. Use the provided cleaning brush to remove any trapped hairs.
• Lubrication: After installation or thorough cleaning, place a tiny drop of baby oil on each replacement blade and allow the shaver to run for approximately 10 seconds. This helps lubricate the blades, ensuring smooth operation and reducing friction.
• Air Dry: Allow the shaver heads to air dry completely before closing the shaving unit or storing the shaver.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your replacement heads, consider the following:

• Blades Pulling Hair: This can occur if the blades are not properly seated, if there is excessive hair buildup, or if the blades are not adequately lubricated. Ensure the heads are correctly installed, clean them thoroughly, and apply a drop of baby oil as described in the Maintenance section.
• Reduced Shaving Performance: Ensure the shaver is fully charged. If performance remains low after cleaning and lubrication, verify that the heads are correctly installed and not damaged.
• Difficulty Installing: Refer to the 'Setup and Installation' section and the accompanying video. Ensure the heads are aligned with the slots and the retaining frame is properly locked.
