Panasonic ES8807 Electric Shaver User Manual

You can fully charge the shaver in
1 hour if the battery capacity monitor
shows “low”.
The battery capacity monitor indi-
cates the charge remaining in the
battery in 3 levels (high/mid/low).
The unit can be used once or twice
more after “low” starts to blink.
(Differs depending on the use situa-
tion.)
A full charge will supply enough
power for approx. 14 shaves (3 min-
utes per shave for a normal beard).
Before travelling, charge your shaver
fully for 1 hour if you will not be
taking the adaptor with you.
In case your shaver is without charge,
you may quick charge it for 1 shave
in about 5 minutes.
Using your shaver
Caution – The system outer foil is
very thin and can be damaged if
handled improperly. Before each
use, always check the foil for dam-
age. To avoid personal injury, do
not use if the foil or other parts of
the shaving head are damaged.
Disconnect the power cord from the
shaver, and push the On/Off switch
to turn the shaver on.
If you push and hold the On/Off
switch for more than 2 seconds, it
will activate the turbo mode for
“sonic” vibration cleaning.
(see “Cleaning your shaver”)
Caution:
Shaving with “sonic” vibration may
damage your skin. Please turn it
off and on again to deactivate the
turbo mode.
Do not place fingers on the On/Off
switch during use.
This may cause the shaver to stop
during use or change it to the
“sonic” vibration cleaning mode.
Hold the shaver at a right angle (90°)
to your skin (see fig. 4). Start out
shaving by applying gentle pressure
to your face. Stretch your skin with
your free hand and move the shaver
back and forth in the direction of your
beard. You may gently increase the
amount of pressure as your skin be-
comes accustomed to this shaver.
Applying excessive pressure does
not provide a closer shave.
System outer foil
(see fig. 5)
System outer foil has a slit blade (a)
between 2 foils (b). They move up
and down independently to follow the
contours of your face.
The slit blade catches and cuts
longer and lying hairs easily.
For wet shaving
Put a thin layer of shaving foam on
your face which works as a lubricant.
Shaving foam is the most suitable
among many other shaving aids (gel,
soap, cream, etc.). Do not put a thick
layer of shaving foam as it may af-
fect shaver’s performance. If the
shaving head is clogged with foam,
simply rinse it under running water.
Using the trimmer
(see fig. 6)
Slide the trimmer handle up to open
the trimmer.

Place the trimmer at a right angle to
your skin and move it downward to
trim sideburns.
Cleaning your shaver
(see fig. 7)
Warning – To prevent electric
shock or personal injury, discon-
nect the power cord from the
shaver before cleaning with water.
For cleanliness and convenience, we
recommend that you clean your
shaver with water and a liquid hand
soap. Regular cleaning will keep your
shaver in good condition while pre-
venting odors or bacteria from devel-
oping, and maintain the cutting per-
formance.
With the system outer foil in place,
apply some hand soap onto the outer
foil.
Push and hold the On/Off switch for
more than 2 seconds to activate the
turbo mode for “sonic” vibration
cleaning.
At the same time, the lamps of the
Battery capacity monitor illuminate
randomly.
Pour some water over the outer foil.
After about 20 seconds, it will be
automatically turned off, or you can
turn it off by pushing the On/Off
switch.
Remove the system outer foil and
push the On/Off switch more than 2
seconds to activate the turbo mode
for “sonic” vibration cleaning and
clean it with running water.
Wipe off any moisture from the
shaver with a dry cloth and dry it with-
out the system outer foil.
Replacing shaving head
components
It is recommended that you replace
the system outer foil at least once a
year and the inner blade at least once
every 2 years to maintain your shav-
er’s cutting performance.
Replacing the system outer foil
(see fig. 8)
Squeeze the system outer foil re-
lease buttons and lift the system
outer foil upward to remove it. To in-
sert the new system outer foil, press
down until it snaps into place.
Replacing the inner blades
(see fig. 9)
Squeeze the system outer foil release
buttons and lift the system outer foil
upward to remove it. Remove the in-
ner blade one at a time by grasping
each firmly at both ends and pulling
straight away from the shaver.
Do not touch the metal parts of inner
blades.
To insert the new inner blade, hold
the blade one at a time at both ends
and press downward until each
snaps into the shaver.
