Shaving
Switch positions
0 = Off (switch is locked)
Press and push up the switch to operate the shaver:
1 = Shaving with the pivoting head
The pivoting cutting system automatically adjusts
to every contour of your face.
2 = Shaving with the pivoting head locked at an angle
(to permit shaving in difficult areas, e.g. under the nose)
3 = The long hair trimmer is activated
(for trimming sideburns, moustache and beard).
Shaving with the cord
If the rechargeable battery is discharged, you may also
shave with the shaver connected to the mains via the
power supply cord set.
(If the shaver does not run immediately, charge it with the
switch on position «0» for approx. 1 minute.)
Tips for the perfect shave
It can take 14-21 days for your beard to adjust to the
new shaving system.
We recommend that you shave before washing,
as the skin tends to be slightly swollen after washing.
Hold the shaver at right angles (90°) to the skin.
Stretch your skin and shave against the direction
of beard growth.
Replace the shaver foil and cutter block every

years, or when the parts are worn, to ensure
