Lift the trimmer to cut long hair
Lift the trimmer up.
• After using the trimmer to lift and
cut hair that is long or laying down,
use the outer foil to finish it off.
• Please use the brush to remove
any hairs that is caught in the
trimmer. Failure to do so can
cause hairs to be missed.
• Use the bikini comb (integrated
i n t h e shaver h e ad ) t o avo i d
damaging the outer foil.
• Before using the appliance for the
first time, wipe away excess oil
with a tissue, etc. to avoid getting
the oil on the outer blade and your
skin.
Apply the shaver head so that the
whole of the blade is in close contact
with the skin. Do not allow the surface
of the blade to move up and down.
Press gently and guide the appliance
slowly against hair growth. Applying
with too much force prevents hairs
from being guided to the blades
which may lead to some areas not
being shaved.
When the trimmer is up, apply the
blade gently.
Further useful tips
• In the beginning, it is advisable to
epilate in the evening so that any
possible reddening can disappear
overnight. When you feel pain or
rash appears, cool the skin with
cold towel.
• Hair is easier to remove after
bathing or showering.
• It may happen that new grown fine
hairs do not manage to get through
to the skin surface. In order to
prevent the risk of ingrown hairs,
we recommend the regular use
of massage sponges, e.g. after
showering, or exfoliation peelings.
By gentle scrubbing action, the
upper skin layer will be removed
and fine hairs can get through to
the skin surface.
