INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
It is recommended that you use your new shaver daily for up to four weeks to allow time
for your beard and skin to become accustomed to the new shaving system.
Shaving
1. Switch the shaver on.
2. Stretch the skin with your free hand so the hairs stand upright.
3. Only apply light pressure on the shaving head while shaving (pressing too hard can
damage the heads and make them vulnerable to breakage).
4. Use short, circular strokes.
Shaving with shaving gel
•Follow the same instructions as dry shaving if using shaving gel.
• CAUTION After use with shaving gel, please rinse the head and cutters under warm
water to clean away any excess gel and debris.
Trimming
• Push the trimmer button to release the detail trimmer.
• Hold the trimmer at right angles to your skin.
• Place the trimmer at desired trim line for a quick, easy, professional trim.
• To retract the trimmer, push down until it locks into position.
Beard trimmer attachment (R8 only)
To t the beard trimmer attachment:
1. Switch o your shaver.
2. Grasp the head and cutter assembly and pull it away from the body of your shaver
(Fig A).
3. If using, snap the comb to the beard trimming attachment (Fig B).
4. Align the underside of the beard trimmer attachment with the hexagonal recess in
the shaver body and click it into place (Fig C).
• Use the trimmer without the comb for trimming hair close to the skin. This will trim
hair to 1mm, holding the blades perpendicular to the skin will trim hair to 0.4mm.
• Adjust the comb setting by rotating the adjustment dial on top of the comb clockwise
to increase the cut length or anticlockwise to reduce the cut length. The selected
setting is shown on the scale.
TIPS FOR BEST RESULTS
• Use moderate to slow stroking movements. The use of short circular motions in
stubborn areas may obtain a closer shave, especially along the neck and chin line.
• DO NOT press hard against the skin in order to avoid damage to the rotary
heads.

• The easiest and most hygienic way to clean the appliance is by rinsing the appliance
head after use with warm water.
