Shaving
First, remove the adjustable comb (8): Using your thumbs, press against the
side clips of the adjustable comb so that they swing off in the direction of
the arrows (a). Activate the on/off switch (6). The floating foil frame
automatically adapts to your skin surface for a close, smooth shave.
For best results:
• Always shave before washing your face.
• At all times, hold the shaver at right angles (90°) to the skin (b).
• Stretch the skin and shave against the direction of beard growth.
• For pre-shaving after a few days of not having shaved, use the wide
trimmer (4a) to pre-cut long hairs. For a close, smooth shave, finish with
the foil.
• To maintain 100% shaving performance, replace your foil and cutter
block at least every 18 months or when worn.
Style
Using the twistable trimmer
The wide trimmer (4a) evenly cuts and trims large areas (c). It is ideal for
shaping sideburns, moustaches and partial short beards. The wide trimmer
is provided with safety rips and a gliding strip for less irritation and easy
gliding. Press the blue stripes to push up the twistable trimmer (4). While
stretching the skin, guide the wide trimmer against the direction of hair
growth.
The narrow trimmer (4b) precisely defines lines and edges (d), being ideal
for precise contouring.
To use the narrow trimmer, push up the twistable trimmer and turn it 180°.
Frequent use of the twistable trimmer will reduce the battery capacity.
