4.3 Shaving with the cord
If the cell unit is discharged, you may also shave
with the shaver connected to the mains
(100 - 240 V
Q ). (If the shaver should not run
immediately, charge it with the switch on position

Tips for the perfect shave

as the skin tends to be slightly swollen after
washing.
• Hold the shaver at right angles (90°) to the skin.
• Stretch your skin and shave against the direction
of beard growth.
