6. Operating Instructions

6.1 Power 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 the original position. The shaver also features an auto-shutoff function when the protective cap is placed over the foils.

6.2 Shaving Technique

The FX3 Double Foil Shaver is ideal for achieving a close shave on the neck, face, and hairline. For optimal results, ensure the skin is clean and dry. Gently press the shaver against the skin and move it in short, circular motions or against the grain of the hair. Avoid excessive pressure to prevent irritation.

6.3 Pro Tip for Best Results

The Double-Foil Shaver performs best on short stubble, specifically hair that is approximately 1/32 inch long. For longer hair, it is recommended to first trim the hair down to a shorter length using a hair trimmer before using the shaver to achieve a smooth finish.

7. Maintenance

7.1 Cleaning

Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and hygiene. To clean the shaver, remove the foil head. You can rinse the foil head under running water to remove hair clippings. Do not submerge the main body of the shaver. After rinsing, allow the foil head to air dry completely. Do not use a blow dryer, as this can damage the components.

7.2 Oiling Blades

It is crucial to oil the blades after every use to maintain their sharpness and prevent wear. Failure to do so may void the product warranty. Shaver oil is not included in the package and must be purchased separately.

7.3 Foil and Cutter Replacement

Over time, the foils and cutters may wear down, affecting shaving performance. Replacement foils and cutters are available and can be installed when needed. Refer to the product packaging or BaBylissPRO's official website for information on purchasing replacement parts.

8. Troubleshooting

• Shaver not turning on: Ensure the shaver is fully charged. Check if the power switch is in the 'on' position.
• Reduced shaving performance: Clean the foils and cutters thoroughly. Ensure the blades are oiled. Consider replacing the foils and cutters if they are worn.
• Battery not holding charge: Ensure the charging cord is properly connected and the power outlet is functional. If the issue persists, the battery may be nearing the end of its lifespan. The internal battery is not user-replaceable.
• Irritation during shaving: Ensure the foils are clean and undamaged. Use light pressure and shave in the direction that minimizes irritation.
