CLEANING
For your system to work properly, it is important that you begin shaving
with blades that are clean and free of hair and other debris that might
affect performance. It is recommended that you clean your shaver after
every 2 or 3 shaves, using the cleaning brush, and following the instruc-
tions outlined below.
Remove the blade foil from the top of your shaver, by pressing the round
button located on the right side of the unit, and lifting the flex foil head off
of the shaver. This will expose the cutter bar assembly. The flex foil head
may be cleaned of loose material, by gently tapping it against the surface
of your sink. Be sure your sink is empty, and does not contain any water
in it before you hold your shaver over it. Never hold any electrical
appliance over any container that has water in it, as it may fall into the
water and cause severe electrical shock. Remove any loose hair and
debris from the cutter bar assembly and surrounding area, by brushing it
away gently with your cleaning brush. Then, remove the cutting bar, by
gently pressing down on it, and turning it 90 degrees. It should pop right
off. Run the cutter bar under some warm water, and dry it off with a paper
towel. Return it to the shaver by reversing this process, and replacing the
foil head. By properly cleaning and maintaining your shaver it will provide
maximum comfort and shaving.
QUICK TIPS & HANDY REMINDERS
1. If you are a first-time electric shaver user, or changing from another
brand, there will be a 2-3 week (or less) adjustment period, while your
face and beard adapt to the new foil.
2. When you open your package, charge your shaver for 18 hours before
the first shave.
3. If you have a charging stand place the shaver in the reverse position
between daily use, so as not to recharge or create an electronic set in the
battery.
4. Replace the foil every 6-12 months, depending on how often you shave
and how tough your beard is.
5. Be sure to clean the shaver, cutter bar and foil every two or three
shaves.
6. Replace the cutter bar every 12-18 months.
7. Keep using and your face and beard will adapt to the shaver.

Disposal of Ni-Cad Battery
contains sealed, rechargeable nickel-cadmium battery must be recycled
or disposed of properly.
Depending on use, your battery should last four to six years before
replacement is necessary. When replacement is necessary, follow these
simple steps:
1. First remove the Flex Foil Head while shaver is in off position. Push the
Shaver Head Release Button on the side of the shaver and lift foil head
upward. Remove cutter bar by holding shaver in one hand, gently press
down on cutter bar to rotate it 90° and gently lift it upward. Be sure your
thumb and first finger are positioned at each end of cutter bar assembly.
2. Remove the two Spring Clips on the top of the shaver using a small,
flat-blade screwdriver. Place hand over Spring Clips when removing in
order to prevent the clips from springing away and getting lost. Pull back
trimmer housing away from the shaver.
3. Cut wires on both sides of tab at each end of battery. Remove battery.
4.The RBRC program provides a convenient alternative to placing Ni-Cad
batteries into the trash or the municipal waste stream, which is illegal in
some areas. For proper disposal, call 1-800-8-BATTERY for a recycling
center in your area.
CHARGING OPERATION
This shaver can be used with a cord, or without the cord if adequately
charged. Unlike many other shavers, you have the ability to shave even if
the battery power is low.
• For best performance, charge for 18 hours before the first shave. This
product has been designed with the charger in the plug. This construction
allows the shaver to be very powerful, yet much lighter for easier maneu-
verability, and it also keeps the line voltage safely at the plug and not in
the shaver.
• Plug the transformer cord into the shaver. BE SURE SHAVER IS IN THE
“OFF” POSITION (MARKED “O” ON SHAVER) WHEN CHARGING,
except when the unit is running.
• In the “off” position, the Recharging Indicator Light will glow whenever
the shaver is connected to an A.C. power supply. (On certain models with
an indicator light, it may take a minute or two for the LED indicator to glow
if the battery is fully discharged.) The shaver cannot be overcharged, so
you may charge it as often as desired. However, periodic recharging of
the shaver, rather than continuous recharging, will prolong battery life.
Shavers available with the Charging Stand can be set in the stand for
charging. An overnight charge once a week or once every two weeks will
give optimum battery life.
CORD CARE
The cord should never be used to pull the shaver. Freedom of movement
needs to be maintained. Care should be used to keep the cord untwisted,
and undamaged. When stored, the cord should be coiled and placed
neatly in a dry place.
