When charging the shaver for the first
time or when it has not been in use
for more than 6 months, charge it for
at least 8 hours before use.
Connect the power cord to the
shaver, and plug the power cord to
an AC outlet.
It will adjust automatically to voltages
between 100-240V AC.
In some areas, a special plug adap-
tor may be required.
The charge status lamp will glow when
the shaver is being charged. It will
flash when the charging is completed.
You can fully charge the shaver in 1
hour if the battery capacity lamp blinks
in red. The battery capacity lamp will
glow in three colors depending on its
charge capacity level:
100% - 30% : green
30% - 10% : orange
less than 10% : blinking in red
A full charge will supply enough
power for approx. 14 shaves (3 min-
utes per shave for a normal beard).
Cord shaving
Connect the shaver to the AC outlet
and turn the shaver on.
If the shaver does not run, charge it
for approx. 1 minute.
Warning – This shaver is not a Wet/
Dry shaver. It is not designed for
wet shaving. To prevent electric
shock or personal injury:
• Do not use shaver in the shower.

Using your shaver

Push the On/Off switch to turn the
shaver on. Hold the shaver at a right
angle (90°) to your skin (see fig. 3).
Start out shaving by applying gentle
pressure to your face. Stretch your
skin with your free hand and move
the shaver back and forth in the di-
rection of your beard. You may gently
increase the amount of pressure as
your skin becomes accustomed to
this shaver. Applying excessive pres-
sure does not provide a closer shave.
