Panasonic ES-RF41 User manual

Thank you for choosing a Panasonic shaver. With our WET/
DRY technology, you can enjoy using your Panasonic
shaver dry or in the shower or bath for gentle and easy
shaving. Please read all instructions before use.
Important
This shaver has a built-in rechargeable battery. Do not throw into
fire, apply heat, or charge, use, or leave in a high temperature
environment.
Warning
Disconnect the power cord from the shaver before cleaning it in
water to prevent electric shock.
Do not use any power cord or adaptor other than this adaptor
(RE7-59).
Terminate the usage when there is abnormality or failure.
Plug in the adaptor into a household outlet where there is no
moisture and handle it with dry hands.
Never use the adaptor in the bathroom or shower room.
Do not dismantle or replace the battery so that you can use the
shaver again. This could cause fire or an electric shock. Have it
replaced at an authorised service center.
Disconnect the power cord when storing the shaver. Do not bend
the power cord or wrap it around the shaver.
The supply cord cannot be replaced. If the cord is damaged, the
adaptor should be scrapped.
Caution
The outer foil is very thin and can be damaged if not used
correctly. Check that the foil is not damaged before using the
shaver. Do not use the shaver if the foil is damaged as you will
cut your skin.
Keep both the inner blades inserted. If only one of the inner
blades is inserted, the shaver may be damaged.

Intended use

lather or for dry shaving.You can use this watertight shaver in the
shower and clean it in water. The following is the symbol of Wet
shaver. The symbol means that the hand-held part may be used

Tips for best shaving results
Start out shaving by applying gentle pressure to your face.
Stretch your skin with 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.

and slide the trimmer handle []
up. Place at a right angle to your skin
and move downwards to trim your
sideburns.

You can shave 1 to 2 times after “20%” appears. (This will differ
depending on usage.)
