it. This last for about 3 months. At
the end of the cycle, a hair bud'
situated at the base of the 'rest' root
develops and will push the hair out
at the last stage of the cycle.
When carrying out epilation for the
first time or for the first time in the
season, you may experience some
pain as there will be a large number
of hairs. This pain will decrease
after the second time you use the
appliance, as the number of hairs
will be reduced. The degree of pain
experienced differs from person to
person.
Immediately after epilation you may
see some tiny spots of blood or red
marks. In such cases apply a cold
towel to the affected area.
We recommend using the appliance
immediately after bathing.
Always let the hair grow for at least
three days before carr ying out
epilation again.
In some cases, however, depending
on the "hair cycle" you may find it is
not possible to remove hairs even
after three days. We recommend
removing shor t hairs gently by
plucking or shaving them.
As this is not permanent epilation,
we recommend that you use the
appliance regularly, about once
every two weeks for the legs and
arms.
Wipe the moisture and sweat off
your skin.
Keep the skin in a hygienic, dry
state without using body lotion, skin
milk, powder or antiperspirant.
Moving head (Arms/legs epilation
head) (Fig. 2 )
• The head moves to the left and
right to quickly carry out epilation
on short hairs.
This feature promotes efficient
epilation.
Swinging head (Arms/legs epilation
head) (Fig. 2 )
• The head swings to ensure that
it stays in close contact with the
skin.
Changing the head
• Hold the head release button down
while removing the head.
• When attaching a head, push it on
until you hear a "click".
(Press the head on until it is
attached securely to the body.)

Charging the appliance

(Fig. 3)
• Slide the switch on the epilator to
the 0·charge position.
• Plug the charger into the epilator
and the electrical outlet
- Moving the switch on the appliance
to 2 or 1 position makes it possible
to use the unit while it is plugged
into the power outlet.
• Charge the appliance for approxi-
mately 12 hours. (The charging light
will stay on even after 12 hours.)
The epilator can be used for
approximately 30 minutes on a
single full (12 hours) charge.
• When using the epilator for the first
time or using it for the first time
in over 6 months, please ensure
that you charge the appliance
8 8
for approximately 20 hours. As
batteries supply electricity through
chemical reaction, if left for long
periods of time without being
charged they become difficult
to charge (inactivated) and it is
necessar y to charge them for
approximately 20 hours in order to
reactivate them.
• In some cases the charging light
may not come on even after a
few minutes and even though the
charger is plugged in securely. In
such cases please continue to
charge the appliance and the charg-
ing light will eventually come on.
• After the appliance has been
fully charged it is OK to leave the
appliance plugged in.
• A s t h e c h a r g i n g c u r r e n t i s
controlled, the life of the batteries
does not deteriorate. There is
generally a memory effect whereby
the voltage will be reduced if the
appliance is repeatedly charged
and discharged without completely
using the capacity of the batteries.
If the appliance is used until no
.
charge remains in the battery and
then charged for 20 hours, this
effect will disappear.
• Please use the charger provided
to charge the battery.
• P l e a s e c h a r g e a n d u s e t h e
appliance at a temperature of
between 5~40°C (41°~104°F).
• I t i s p e r fe c t l y n o r m a l fo r t h e
appliance to become slightly warm
when being charged or used.
• If the cord becomes damaged it
is not possible to replace only the
cord. Please contact your nearest
dealer or Panasonic Customer
Service Center.
• When removing the charger please
do not do so by pulling on the cord.

How to operate your
epilator
Cordless operation of the epilator
(Wet epilation)
• Remove the cap.
• Attach the head you wish to use.
• Place a small quantity of liquid
body soap on the discs.
• Wet the discs.
• Slide the switch to 1 or 2 position
and carry out epilation.
NOTE: Allow the discs to spin and

Always use liquid body soap when
carrying out epilation. Using just
cold or warm water without soap
will hinder the movement of the
epilator.
