- If you are trimming for the first time, be
careful. Do not move the appliance too fast.
Make smooth and gentle movements
- Since all hairs do not grow in the same
direction, you may want to try different
trimming positions (i.e. upwards, downwards, or
across). Practice is best for optimum results.
- Always make smooth and gentle movements
and be sure the surface of the comb always
stays in contact with your skin.
- Body hair can be trimmed wet or dry, however
dry is preferable because wet hair tends to stick
to the body."
- When trimming sensitive areas, always use a
trimming comb.
Attaching and detaching combs
1 To attach a comb, snap the front part of the
comb onto the teeth of the shaving unit and
push the projection at the back of the comb
into the appliance ('click') (Fig. 10).
2 To detach a comb, carefully pull the back part
off the appliance and then remove it from the
shaving unit (Fig. 11).
Trimming
1 Snap the trimming comb onto the appliance
(Fig. 10).
2 Press the on/off button to turn on the
appliance (Fig. 9).
3 Move the appliance against the direction of hair
growth (Fig. 12), (Fig. 13).
Note: Make sure that the flat part of the
trimming guard is always fully in contact with
the skin.
4 Switch off and clean the appliance after each
use (see 'Cleaning').
Shaving
This product is only intended for shaving and
trimming body parts below the neckline. Do not
use it to shave or trim facial or scalp hair.
- When shaving sensitive areas for the first time,
you may experience some discomfort, irritation
or reddening of the skin. This is normal as your
skin needs time to adjust to shaving.
- If your hair is longer than 10mm, trim hair to a
length of 3mm first for optimum shaving results.
- For dry use, make sure that your skin is clean
and dry before using the shaving unit.
- For wet use, prepare your skin with lathered
soap or shaving foam before you use the
appliance.
1 Remove any trimming comb from the appliance
(Fig. 11).
2 Press the on/off button to switch on the
appliance (Fig. 9).
3 Stretch your skin taut with your free hand (Fig.
14). Gently press the shaving unit onto skin and
move it slowly and smoothly against the
direction of hair growth (Fig. 15), (Fig. 16).
- Do not press too hard. Too much pressure can
distort the foil and cause skin irritation.
- Make sure the shaving unit is always in full
contact with your skin.
- The shaver is bi-directional, which means that
you can shave by moving the appliance up and
down. Shave against the hair growth for optimal
performance.
