Using Your Shaver - Panasonic ES2218 Operating Instructions Manual

Using your shaver

Caution – The system outer foil is
very thin and can be damaged if
handled improperly. Before each
use, always check the foll for dam-
age. To avoid personal injury, do
not use if the foil or other parts of
the shaving head is damaged.
(see fig. 2 through 6)
Remove the protective cap and ap-
ply shaving lather generously. For the
best results, move the shaver in back
and forth directions, while keeping the
shaver head at a right angle (90°) to
your skin so that the two trimmers and
outer foil work together at the same
time. Slide the pop-up trimmer switch
up when using the pop-up trimmer to
cut long hairs (see fig. 2).
• Underarm (see fig. 3)
Hold your arm up enough to stretch
your skin and shave back and forth.
• Legs (see fig. 4)
Be sure to move the shaver from
ankle to knee.
• Arms (see fig. 5)
Be sure to move the shaver from
outside to inside.
• Bikini (see fig. 6)
You can use the 3-position bikini
comb on the inside and outside of
your bikini line.
1. To attach 3-position bikini comb,
simply slide it onto the shaver
head.
2. Depress button to release comb
when adjusting comb length.
Pivot action selector
(see fig. 1-H)
Use the pivot action selector to
choose the shaving mode:
full range, mid range or lock based
on your shaving preference.
Cleaning
(see fig. 7)
For cleanliness and convenience, we
recommend that you clean your
shaver with water and a liquid hand
soap. Regular cleaning will keep your
shaver in good condition while pre-
venting odors or bacteria from devel-
oping, and maintain the cutting per-
formance.
With the outer foils in place, apply
some hand soap onto the outer foils.
Turn the shaver on and turn off after
few seconds.
Next, press the outer foil frame re-
lease buttons to remove the outer foil
frame and rinse the inner blade/outer
foils under running water or in a ba-
sin.
DO NOT USE BOILING WATER.
After the inner blade/outer foils and
the shaving head are dry, close the
outer foil frame and place the protec-
tive cap.
Replacing shaving head
Components
It is recommended that you replace
the outer foil at least once every year
and the inner blade at least once
every two years to maintain your
shaver's cutting performance.
