suitable for legs/arms.
Areas suitable for epilation
Areas the epilation
head for legs/arms
can be used.
ES-EL8A
Areas the epilation head
for underarms/bikini-line
can be used. Before
epilating the bikini-line,
be sure to put on your
swim wear or underwear
etc. and check the areas
you wish to epilate.
• Using the epilator on areas other than those marked areas
may cause pain or skin trouble.

English
Areas not suitable for epilation
The epilator should not
be used on the inner side
of the upper arms and
areas such as elbows or
knees which are prone to
sagging.
WET epilation (epilating after wetting the skin and epilator
and then applying foam) makes the skin softer so it is gentler
to your skin when epilating. For DRY epilation, begin at
step 3. Before DRY epilation, wipe dry any moisture or sweat
from the skin.
1
1Wet your skin.
2
2Wet the discs and place a
small quantity of liquid
shower gel on the discs.
• Always use shower gel when wet
epilating.
• Do not use a shower gel with a
scrub or with granular salt, this may
cause a malfunction.
• Rinse any shower gel out of your
hands.
3
3Select the mode by pressing
the power switch [ I].
(Page 12)
• Foam is created. Foam makes the
epilator slide better, so you can
move it fast.
• The appliance may not operate in an ambient temperature
lower than approximately 5 °C.
• Apply the epilator at 90° to your skin and move it slowly so
that it slides over your skin.
<Epilating legs or arms>
Upwards from the
bottom of the leg.
Inwards from the
outside of the arm.
<Epilating underarms or bikini‑line>
ES-EL8A
Move in several
directions as
underarm/bikini line
hair grows in
different directions.
Stretch the skin with
your ngers, and
move slowly from
inside to outside
going against the
ow of hair.

Tips for best epilation results
The hair removal is not permanent, so from the second use, it
is recommended to epilate the underarms about once a
week, and the bikini-line about once every two weeks.
<For beginners/those with sensitive skin>
ES-EL8A
Using the gentle cap that comes with the skin guard is
recommended for people using the epilator for the rst time
or for those with sensitive skin.
The gentle cap has a skin protector for gentler epilation, to
remove hair by holding the skin down to reduce pain.
• We also recommend to use the SOFT mode rotation.
( Page 12)
1. Remove the fast cap [ A].
2. Attach the gentle cap [ B].
• Massaging with a body puff may help to prevent ingrown
hairs.
• Reddening might appear after use. A cool towel will help if
you feel pain or there is a rash.
• If your skin gets dry after epilation, we recommend applying
a moisture lotion two days after epilation.
• Make sure skin is clean before and after use.
<Best hair length for epilation>
Trim your hair before epilating for the rst time or if you have
not epilated for a long time. Hair removal is easier and less
painful when the hair is short.
Shaver head
ES-EL8A
WET Shaving with soap lather makes the skin slippery for a
closer shave. For DRY shaving, step 3 is unnecessary. Before
DRY shaving, wipe dry any moisture or sweat from the skin.
1
1Attach the shaver head [ F].
• Conrm the bikini comb [ E] is detached.
2
2Check that the outer foil is not deformed or
damaged.
3
3Wet your skin and put shower gel on your skin.
• Do not use a shower gel with a scrub or with granular
salt. Also do not use shaving cream, skin cream or skin
lotion.
Doing so may clog the blade and cause a malfunction.
4
4Select the mode by pressing the power switch
[I].
• Press gently so that the whole blade is in close contact
with the skin and the surface of the blade does not
move up and down.
Foot care head
ES-EL8A
• The foot care head cannot be used in a bath or shower.
• Before use, be sure to fully charge the appliance.
• We recommend using the product within 30 minutes after
bathing or showering. With the feet clean, wipe off any water
on the skin. (Each use should be approximately 10 minutes
(5 minutes on each foot, 10 minutes total for both feet))

• NORMAL mode and POWER mode are
recommended for rotation speed.

3Bring the foot care head into contact with the
skin, and begin ling.
• Filing a single location for a long time can cause it to
become hot with friction. To avoid this, be sure to make
small changes in the ling position while ling.
• Filing should be performed about once every two weeks.
The basics of foot care
Do not use the product for ling anything
other than calluses and hardened skin on
the feet.
