This ensures optimal power for different beard areas, providing a smooth shave while minimizing skin irritation. Note: The sensor's reaction (change in drive sound) may vary depending on beard density or stubble inside the shaver head, but this is not a malfunction.

• Reduced shaving performance: Clean the shaver head thoroughly. Consider replacing the outer foil and inner blades if they are old or damaged.
• Unusual noise during operation: Check for any trapped beard stubble or debris in the shaver head. If the noise persists, it may indicate wear on the blades or motor.
• Automatic cleaning system not working: Ensure the shaver is correctly seated in the system and that there is sufficient cleaning solution. Check power connection.
• Skin irritation: Ensure you are not pressing too hard. Try wet shaving with foam or gel. If irritation persists, consult a dermatologist.
