E Tips for best results
•Always hold the shaver at right angles to the skin so that all three foils are

in stubborn areas may obtain a closer shave, especially along the neck and
chin line.

to the foil heads.
,Note: your shaver has been designed to be used in the shower if
desired.

,CLEANING TRIMMER
•Lubricate the teeth of the trimmer every six months with a drop of sewing
