- Make sure your shaver is properly charged.
- Switch the shaver on by pressing the on/off switch.
Shaving
- Stretch the skin with your free hand so the hairs stand upright.
- Hold the shaving head so that the foils touch your face.
- Use short linear strokes.
Trimming
- Slide up the trimmer release button to activate the trimmer.
- Hold the trimmer at a right angle to your skin.
- To retract the trimmer, push the top rear of the trimmer down until it locks under the trimmer release button.
Stubble Look
Fit the stubble head guard to your shaver for a 3-day stubble look.
Tips for Best Results
- Always hold the shaver at right angles to the skin so that all foils are touching the skin with equal pressure.
- Use moderate to slow stroking movements. Short linear motions in stubborn areas may obtain a closer shave, especially along the neck and chin line.
- DO NOT press hard against the skin to avoid irritation and damage to the foil heads.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Care for your appliance to ensure long-lasting performance. Clean your appliance after each use.

Replacing the Foils and Cutters
To ensure continued high-quality performance, we recommend the foils and cutters are replaced regularly.
Signs that your foil/s and cutter/s need replacing:
