Braun Activator 8588 User Manual page 7

When the shaver is fully charged, all five charging lights (7)
will light up (20% per light), provided the shaver is
connected to an electrical outlet or switched on.
The red low charge light (8) flashes when the battery
capacity has dropped below 20%, provided the shaver is
switched on. The remaining capacity will then be sufficient
for 2 to 3 shaves.
Shaving
Switch positions
off = (switch is locked)
Press and push up the switch to operate the shaver:
1 = Shaving with the pivoting head
(the pivoting cutting system automatically adjusts to
every contour of your face).
2 = Shaving with the pivoting head locked at an angle
(to permit shaving in difficult areas, e.g. under the
nose).
3 = The long hair trimmer is activated
(for trimming sideburns, moustache and beard).
Tips for the perfect shave
• It can take 14–21 days for your beard to adjust to the
new shaving system.
• Shave before washing your face or taking a shower,
as skin tends to swell after washing.
• The drier the skin, the closer the shave will be.
• Hold the shaver at right angles (90°) to the skin.
Stretch the skin and shave against the direction of
beard growth.
• To maintain 100% shaving performance, replace
your foil and cutter block at least every 18 months or
when worn.
