Windmere CLOTHES SHAVER CS-1 - Fabric Pill Remover Manual

WARNING

Do not use this appliance to shave skin, as it may result in injury.

The Clothes Shaver^™ fabric pill remover contains sharp cutting blades, and the same care should be exercised with this appliance as with any sharp cutting utensil.

Read all instructions carefully prior to use.

USE AND CARE

At some point it may become apparent that the unit no longer shaves clothes as effectively as when it was new. Improved performance may be achieved by cleaning the cutting blades. If this becomes necessary, please follow the instructions below.

1. Be sure the On/Off switch is in the "Off" position and the battery is removed from the unit.
2. Remove the cutting foil by turning it counterclockwise.
3. Remove the cutting blade/fan assembly by gently pulling it out of the Clothes Shaver™ fabric pill remover.
   Extreme care should be taken when handling the sharp blades of this assembly.
4. Clean the cutting blades with a soft brush, removing any build-up from the cutting edges.
5. Reassemble unit in the reverse order.

If operation is still not satisfactory, it may be necessary to order replacement cutting blades.

HOW TO USE

1. The Clothes Shaver^™ fabric pill remover is better suited for use on some fabrics than others. Do not use this device on very soft fabrics or materials textured by design. Prior to use, always test the Clothes Shaver^™ fabric pill remover on a hidden, inconspicuous area of the garment to be shaved.
2. Remove the protective cap and slide the On/Off switch to the "On" position. Glide the head of the unit lightly over the garment to remove fuzz, pills (nubby fabric clusters caused by friction) and pulled threads.
3. After each use, or when the storage bin is about half full, empty it. To remove, press firmly on the sides and slide the bin down. After emptying, replace the storage bin by sliding it up on the unit. When the bin "clicks," it is positioned properly. This procedure will ensure best cutting performance.
4. Keep the protective cap on the unit when not in use.

NOTE:
It is recommended for best performance of this product to add a thin coating of light oil or silicone spray to the inner surface of the foil.

Apply the oil/spray to a lint-free cloth; then gently pass the cloth over the inner surface of the foil (which is the side that does not contact the fabric).

Do not lubricate the side that comes into contact with the fabric. After lubricating the unit, run the shaver in the "On" position over a piece of cloth for ten seconds to remove any excess oil from the face of the cutter.

Reapply oil/spray after using the unit several times. SEE DIAGRAM.

HELPFUL HINT:
The Clothes Shaver^™ fabric pill remover will operate more efficiently when the piece of clothing to be "shaved" is placed on a smooth, flat surface. On some fabrics, it may be best to stretch the material while "shaving." On other fabrics, additional pressure may bring better results. Always use a hidden area of the clothing to determine the best method of operation.
