Our research has shown that you
can enjoy closer and smoother
epilation with the pivot action
epilation system. And our pop-up
trimmer will be able to cut longer
hairs with ease.
Cleaning is so simple. Just rinse
out the epilation head under the tap
or shower. No mess, no fuss!
Charge the epilator for at least 20
hours before using it for the first
time or when it has not been in use
for more than six months.

Epilation and hair cycle
What beginners should know and
observe!
Hair replaces itself in regular
intervals. For every hair that dies
another one grows. This sequence
is called the hair cycle.
There are 3 stages to consider. In
the first stage, hair is in its “growth
period”. The root of the hair is
embedded deep in the dermis at a
stage where it is fully grown.
The next stage is where hair is in its
“rest period”. Hair does not grow at
this stage.
When hair falls out, it gets smaller
and lighter and moves towards
the epidermis. It is pushed out by
the new hair growing underneath
it. This lasts for about 3 months.
At the end of the cycle, a hair bud
situated at the base of the “rest”
root develops and will push the hair
out at the last stage of the cycle.
When carrying out epilation for the
first time or for the first time in the
season, you may experience some
pain as there will be a large number
of hairs. This pain will decrease
after the second time you use the
appliance, as the number of hairs

will be reduced. The degree of pain
experienced differs from person to
person.
Immediately after epilation you may
see some tiny spots of blood or red
marks. In such cases apply a cold
towel to the affected area.
We recommend using the appliance
immediately after bathing.
Always let the hair grow for at least
three days before carrying out
epilation again.
In some cases, however, depending
on the “hair cycle” you may find itis
not possible to remove hairs even
after three days. We recommend
removing short hairs gently by
plucking or shaving them.
As this is not permanent epilation,
we recommend that you use the
appliance regularly, about once
every two weeks for the legs and
arms.
Moving head (Arms/legs epilation
head) (Fig. 2 A)
* The head moves to the left and
right to quickly carry out epilation
on short hairs.
This feature promotes efficient
epilation.
Swinging head (Arms/legs epilation
head) (Fig. 2 @)
* The head swings to ensure that
it stays in close contact with the
skin.
Changing the head
* Hold the head release button down
while removing the head.
* When attaching a head, push it on
until you hear a “click”.
(Press the head on untilitis
attached securely to the body.)
Charging the appliance
(Fig. 3)
e Slide the switch on the epilator to
the O-charge position. (©)
* Plug the charger into the epilator
(O) and the electrical outlet (O).
* Charge the appliance for approxi-
mately 12 hours. (The charging
light will stay on even after 12
hours.)
The epilator can be used for
approximately 30 minutes ona
single full (12 hours) charge.
* When using the epilator for the first
time or using it for the first time
in over 6 months, please ensure
that you charge the appliance
for approximately 20 hours. As
batteries supply electricity through
chemical reaction, if left for long
periods of time without being
charged they become difficult
to charge (inactivated) and it is
necessary to charge them for
approximately 20 hours in order to
reactivate them.
In some cases the charging light
may not come on even after a
few minutes and even though the
charger is plugged in securely. In
such cases please continue to
charge the appliance and the charg-
ing light will eventually come on.
After the appliance has been
fully charged it is OK to leave the
appliance plugged in.
* As the charging current is con-

trolled, the life of the batteries
does not deteriorate. There is
generally a memory effect whereby
the voltage will be reduced if the
appliance is repeatedly charged
and discharged without completely
using the capacity of the batteries.
If the appliance is used until no
charge remains in the battery and
then charged for 20 hours, this
effect will disappear.
* Please use the charger provided
to charge the battery.
* Please charge and use the appli-
ance at a temperature of between
5~40°C (41°~104°F).
* lt is perfectly normal for the
appliance to become slightly warm
when being charged or used.
* If the cord becomes damaged it
is not possible to replace only the
cord. Please contact your nearest
dealer or Panasonic Customer
Service Center.
NOTE: The appliance will not
charge if the switch is in any
position other than O-charge.
Always check to see that the
charging light is on.
How to operate your
epilator
CAUTION: Always make sure
that the epilation discs and
skin protector have not become
damaged, cracked or deformed. If
they are, then please do not use
the appliance.
Failure to do so can cause damage
to the skin.
Wet epilation
* Remove the cap.
* Attach the head you wish to use.
* Place a small quantity of liquid
body soap on the discs.
* Wet the discs.
* Slide the switch to 1 or 2 position
and carry out epilation.
NOTE: Allow the discs to spin and
foam up the soap.
Always use liquid body soap when
carrying out epilation. Using just
cold or warm water without soap
will hinder the movement of the
epilator.
Please see “Use foam to achieve
the best results” for details.
Always wash the discs well after
use to remove any residual soap.
NOTE: If soap is left on the
discs then a white deposit can
accumulate and prevent the
blades from moving smoothly.
Use the supplied brush to remove
any remaining hair.
After epilation slide the switch to
the O-charge position.
NOTE: Remove any dirt with a
dry cloth and allow the appliance
to dry thoroughly. Leaving the
appliance wet for long periods of
time can cause malodor.
Use foam to achieve the best
results
Apply sufficient foam.
NOTE: The foam guides the hair into
the discs. If there is insufficient
foam, then there is the possibility
that the hair may not be removed,
making it difficult to properly carry

out epilation.
Ensure that the foam is firm
enough.
NOTE: If the foam is too soft, then
it will be difficult to catch the hair.
Increase the volume of liquid body
soap or reduce the volume of
water to make the foam firmer.
The foaming characteristics and
the firmness of foam will vary
depending on the characteristics
of the body soap used.
* Apply the epilator at right angles
to the skin and move it slowly.
NOTE: After the foam is applied it
is easy to move the epilator too
quickly. Take care to place the
head lightly against the skin and
move it slowly.
Dry epilation
* Remove the cap.
* Attach the head you wish to use.
* Slide the switch to 1 or 2 position
and carry out epilation.
* After completing epilation, slide the
switch to the O-charge position.
If you are concerned about pain
during epilation then please use the
1 position. However, bear in mind
that people sense pain differently
so in some cases you may feel
more pain on the 1 position.
The movement of the discs makes
some noise but this is perfectly
normal.
Please do not drop the appliance or
bang it against anything solid.
(This can cause the skin protector
or epilation discs to become
damaged, cracked or deformed.)

Correct usage for best epilation
results
* For the first use, or if not having
epilated for a long time, we
recommend trimming hairs before
epilation. Leg and arm hair should
be shortened to a length of 3 to 5
mm.
Apply epilator at right angles (90º)
against your skin. For best
epilation results keep in contact
with the skin surface. Pressing
gently and guide the appliance
slowly against hair growth. This
switch-side of the appliance
shows against hair growth. (Fig. 4)
Rub your skin to lift short hairs.
Move the epilator slowly on
the skin with the skin protector
vertically touching against it.
NOTE: You may drop some hair so
please lay out a piece of paper, etc.
to catch it for dry epilation.
Legs and arms epilation (Fig. 5)
When epilating legs or arms, please
use the epilation head.
Do not use this head on the underarm
or on the bikini line.
Important for arms and legs epilation:
Apply epilator at right angles (90º)
against your skin.
Pressing the appliance too hard onto
the skin or using it on an angle can
cause damage to the skin.
Press gently and guide the appliance
slowly against hair growth.
If you move the appliance too fast
then you will find a large number of
missed hairs.
* Holding the appliance correctly
