(see fig. 2)
When charging the shaver for the first
time or when it has not been in use
for more than 6 months, charge it for
the activation for at least 8 hours
before use.
Connect the power cord to the
shaver, and plug the adaptor to an
AC outlet.
It will adjust automatically to the AC
voltages which are indicated on the
charging adaptor nameplate.
In some areas, a special plug adap-
tor may be required.
The charge status lamp will glow
when the shaver is being charged. It
will flash when the charging is com-
pleted.
You can fully charge the shaver in 1
hour if it seems to be losing speed.
A full charge will supply enough
power for approx. 12 shaves (3 min-
utes per shave for a normal beard).
Cord shaving
Connect the shaver to the power
cord and plug the adaptor to the AC
outlet, then turn the shaver on.
If the shaver does not run, charge it
for approx. 1 minute.
Using your shaver
Depress the switch lock button and
slide the On/Off switch upward to turn
the shaver on. Hold the shaver at a
right angle (90°) to your skin (see fig.
3). Start out shaving by applying gen-
tle 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, or
may cause injury of your skin, espe-
cially to the earlier user.
