Handling
17
Handling
Dry shave
We recommend a dry shave before you wash.
After washing, you skin is slightly swollen. As
a result, shavers are often unable to reach the
entire length of your beard hair so the shave will
be less thorough.
For a dry shave, follow the steps below:
1. Take the protective cap 1off of the shaver.
2. Use the On/Off switch 5to turn the shaver on.
3. Use your free hand to stretch the part of your face you in-
tend to shave.
4. While applying gentle pressure, move the shaver head 2
perpendicular to the direction of hair growth.
5. After a few strokes, use your free hand to check the results
and repeat step 4 if necessary.
6. Shave as described in steps 3–4.
7. If necessary, use the trimmer 13 as described in the chap-
ter “Using the trimmer” (see Fig.C).
8. Switch the shaver off once you have finished shaving.
9. Clean the shaver as described in the chapter “Daily cleaning
after a dry shave”.
Wet shave
1. Dampen your face and apply shaving cream or gel to your face.
2. Take the protective cap 1off of the shaver (see Fig.A).
3. Use the On/Off switch 5to turn the shaver on.
4. While applying gentle pressure, move the shaver head 2

perpendicular to the direction of hair growth.
5. After a few strokes, use your free hand to check the results
and repeat step 4 if necessary.
6. Shave as described in steps 3–4.
7. If necessary, use the trimmer as described in the chapter
“Using the trimmer”.
8. Switch the shaver off once you have finished shaving.
9. Clean the shaver as described in the chapter “Daily cleaning
after a wet shave”.
Using the trimmer
Keep in mind that the trimmer always generates a
straight cutting edge. If you do not want a straight
cutting edge, you must hold the shaver at an
angle.
For hard-to-reach areas or for very precise cuts,
use a comb to check the hair you intend to trim
with the trimmer and the cut length.
Use the trimmer as follows:
1. Move the trimmer 13 all the way out until it audibly locks
into place (see Fig.C).
2. Use the On/Off switch 5to turn the shaver on.
3. Slowly guide the trimmer up to the hair you intend to cut.
Always use short strokes to cut your hair.
4. Turn the shaver off.
5. Clean the shaver as described in the chapter “Daily cleaning
after a wet shave” or “Daily cleaning after a dry shave”.
