Intended use
•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.
•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.
•Clean the housing only with a soft cloth slightly dampened
with tap water or soapy tap water. Do not use thinner,
benzine, alcohol or other chemicals.
•Store the shaver in a place with low humidity after use.
•Do not store the shaver where it will be exposed to direct
sunlight or other heat sources.

and shave.
•Start 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.
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.
►Notes
