Important information
• This WET/DRY shaver can be used for wet shaving
using shaving lather or for dry shaving. You can use
this watertight shaver in the shower and clean with
water. The following symbol means suitable for use in
a bath or shower.
►Notes
• 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 month to
adjust to any new shaving method.
• Do not bring the system outer foil into contact with
hard objects.
Doing so may damage the blades as they are very
thin and deform easily.
• Do not dry the main unit with a dryer or a fan heater.
Doing so may cause malfunction or deformation of the
parts.
• Do not leave the shaver exposed to direct sunlight
with the foil frame detached.
Doing so may deteriorate the waterproof rubber and
degrade waterproof function, which may cause to
malfunction.
• Store the shaver in a place with low humidity after
use.
Failure to do so may cause malfunction due to
condensation or rust.
• Keep both the inner blades inserted. If only one of the
inner blades is inserted, the shaver may be damaged.
• If you clean the shaver with water, do not use salt
water or hot water. Do not soak the shaver in water for
a long period of time.
• The following symbol indicates that a specic
detachable power supply unit is required for
connecting the electrical appliance to the supply
mains. The type reference of power supply unit is
marked near the symbol.

easier to create foam.
►Notes
• Before making foam, check that the blades are not broken
or deformed, and that the cleaning shutter is closed.
• Do not use shaving agent (excluding foam), facial
cleansing foam (with scrubbing compounds) or soap
as these may cause the blades to clog, or be unable

when the switch lock lamp ( )
blinks, as the power switch is locked.
Press the power switch for more
than 2 seconds to unlock. (See
page 16.)
Tips for better shaving
Apply the whole system outer foil
perpendicularly against the skin
and shave by slowly gliding the
shaver over the face against the
grain of the beard.
• The beard under the chin and
around the throat can be shaved
better by stretching the skin so
the beard will stand.
• To prevent damaging the system
outer foil, do not shave with only
a part of the system outer foil.
You can also use a pen grip to
hold the shaver.

►Using the trimmer
Slide the trimmer handle up. Place at a
right angle to your skin and move
downwards to trim your sideburns.
►Tips for better usage
Apply the trimmer edge perpendicular to skin gently
and move downward slowly.
Trimming sideburns Pre‑shave of long beards
►Notes
• The “shaving sensor”, which automatically adjusts the
power depending on the beard thickness, will operate.
It will shave with high power on areas where the
beard is heavy, and reduce the power on areas where
the beard is thin, to reduce burden on the skin.
• Before shaving, check that the cleaning shutter is closed.
• After wet shaving, wash the main body with water and
apply oil to the system outer foil.
• Depending on the beard thickness or the amount of
beard trimmings in the shaver head, the shaving
sensor may not react and the driving sound may not
change. This is not abnormal.
• The appliance may not operate in an ambient
temperature lower than approximately 5 °C.
• The shaving sensor may not respond depending on
the type and quantity of the shaving gel or the quantity
of the foam. This is not abnormal.
• To prevent erroneous operation, place your ngers on
the nger rest while using the shaver.
