Before use
This Wet/Dry shaver can be used for
wet shaving with shaving lather or for
dry shaving. You can use this water-
tight shaver in the shower and clean
it in water. The following is the sym-
bol of Wet shaver. The symbol means
that hand-held part may be used in a
bath or shower.
Treat yourself to wet lather shaves
for at least three weeks and notice
the difference.Your Panasonic Wet/
Dry shaver requires a little time to get
used to because your skin and beard
need about a mosnth to adjust to any
new shaving method.

Charging
Connect the power cord to the
shaver, and plug the adaptor to an
AC outlet. (see fig. 1 (A))
The shaver will be adjusted automati-
cally to voltages between 100-240V
AC.
In some areas, a special plug adap-
tor may be required.
• When charging the shaver for the
first time or when it has not been in
use for more than 6 months, the
plug syambol and backlight of LCD
display may not illuminate for a few
minutes after operation. These
lights will eventually illuminate if
kept connected.
Adequate ambient temperature for
charging is between 15 to 35 °C.
• If it is far below or over the appro-
priate temperature, the charging
time may extend, or the adaptor
may not function.
• In particular, low temperature may
shorten the life span of the recharge-
able battery. In this case, the back-
light of LCD display blinks twice in 1
second.

When the shaver is being charged,
the backlight of LCD display turns
on, and the plug symbol appears
(see fig. 2 (A)).
It shows the remaining battery
capacity from 0% to 100%, in 10%
increments.
When the charging is completed, it
will indicate “100%” and the back-
light of LCD display will flash once
in about 1 second. It will flash once
in about 2 seconds for 10 minutes
after charging is completed (see
fig. 2 (B)).
You can fully charge the shaver in
1 hour if the LCD display shows
10% and lower.
The plug symbol blinks in the LCD
display when the remaining battery
capacity is 10% and less.
The unit can be used once or twice
more after the LCD display starts to
show 10%. (Differs depending on
the use situation.)
A full charge will supply enough
power for approx. 14 shaves (3
minutes per shave for a normal
beard).
Before travelling, charge it fully for
1 hour if you will not be taking the
adaptor with you.
In case your shaver is without
charge, you may quick charge it for
1 shave in about 5 minutes.
Charge with charging
stand
(see fig. 1 (B))
To charge with the charging stand,
connect the power cord to the
charging stand. Place the shaver
into the stand, and plug the adaptor
to the AC outlet.
You can always store your shaver
in the charging stand to maintain
full battery capacity. This shaver
cannot be overcharged.
Using your shaver
Disconnect the power cord from the
shaver, and push the On/Off switch
to turn the shaver on.
Hold the shaver at a right angle (90°)
to your skin (see fig. 3). Start out
shaving by applying gentle pressure
to your face. Stretch your skin with
Caution – The system outer foil is
very thin and can be damaged if
handled improperly. Before each
use, always check the foil for dam-
age. To avoid personal injury, do
not use if the foil or other parts of
the shaving head is damaged.
If you push and hold the On/Off
switch for more than 2 seconds, it
will activate the turbo mode for
“sonic” vibration cleaning.
(see “Cleaning your shaver”)
Caution:
Shaving with “sonic” vibration may
damage your skin. Please turn it
off and on again to deactivate the
turbo mode.
Do not place fingers on the On/Off
switch during use.
This may cause the shaver to stop
during use or change it to the
“sonic” vibration cleaning mode.
Place your finger on the finger rest
during use.

your free hand and move the shaver
back and forth in the direction of your
beard. You may gently increase the
amount of pressure as your skin
becomes accustomed to this shaver.
Applying excessive pressure does
not provide a closer shave.
Pivot action selector
(see fig. 4)
Use the pivot action selector to
choose the shaving mode, “soft”
(soft) and “lock” (lock) based on your
shaving preference.
The pivot action can be changed
whether the switch is turned on or off.
System outer foil
(see fig. 5)
System outer foil has a slit blade (a)
between 2 foils (b). They move up
and down independently to follow the
contours of your face.
The slit blade catches and cuts
longer and lying hairs easily.
For wet shaving
Put a thin layer of shaving foam on
your face which works as a lubrica-
tor. Shaving foam is the most suit-
able among many other shaving aids
(gel, soap, cream, etc.). Do not put a
thick layer of shaving foam as it may
affect shaver’s performance. If the
shaving head is clogged with foam,
simply rinse it under running water.
Using the trimmer
(see fig. 6)
Slide the trimmer handle up to open
the trimmer.
Place the trimmer at a right angle to
your skin and move it downward to
trim sideburns.
Cleaning your shaver
(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 system outer foil in place,
apply some hand soap onto the outer
foil.
Push and hold the On/Off switch
more than 2 seconds to activate the
turbo mode for “sonic” vibration
cleaning.
At the same time, the “sonic” clean-
ing symbol appears in the LCD dis-
play will flash around randomly.
Pour some water over the outer foil.
After about 20 seconds, it will be
automatically turned off, or you can
turn it off by pushing the On/Off
switch.
Remove the system outer foil and
push the On/Off switch more than
2 seconds to activate the turbo mode
for “sonic” vibration cleaning and
clean it with running water.
Wipe off any moisture from the
shaver with a dry cloth and dry it with-
out the system outer foil.
It is recommended to clean your
shaver with the “sonic” vibration
cleaning when the tap symbol (a)
appears in LCD.
Warning – To prevent electric
shock or personal injury, discon-
nect the power cord from the
shaver before cleaning with water.

Lubrication
(see fig. 13)
To maintain shaving comfort for a
long time, it is recommended that
the oil provided with the shaver is
used.
1. Switch off the shaver.
2. Apply one drop of oil to each of
the outer foils.
3. Raise the trimmer and apply a
drop of oil.
4. Switch the shaver on, and run it
for approximately five seconds.
5. Switch off the shaver, and wipe
off any excess oil from the outer
foils with a soft cloth.
Brush cleaning
Squeeze the foil frame release but-
tons and lift the foil frame upward to
remove it (see fig. 9). Remove the
inner blades one at a time by grasp-
ing it firmly at both ends and pulling
it straight away from the shaver.
Clean the outer foils, the shaver body
and the trimmer with the long brush
(see fig. 10). Clean the inner blades
with the short brush by moving it in
the direction in fig. 11 (A). Do not
move the brush in the direction in fig.
11 (B), as it will damage the inner
blade, and its cutting performance.
Do not use the short brush to clean
the outer foils.
Replacing shaving head
components
It is recommended that you replace
the system outer foil at least once a
year and the inner blade at least once
every 2 years to maintain your
shaver’s cutting performance.
Replacing the system outer foil
(see fig. 8)
Squeeze the system outer foil re-
lease buttons and lift the system
outer foil upward to remove it. To in-
sert the new system outer foil, press
down until it snaps into place.
Replacing the inner blades
(see fig. 9)
Squeeze the system outer foil release
buttons and lift the system outer foil
upward to remove it. Remove the
inner blade one at a time by grasping
it firmly at both ends and pulling
straight away from the shaver.
Do not touch the metal parts of inner
blades.
To insert the new inner blade, hold
the blade one at a time at both ends
and press downward until it snaps
into the shaver.

a lot of moisture.
• Use only the included adaptor
11
RE7-25 to charge the shaver.
• Dry the shaver completely before
