How to use
Shaving beard
1 Press  and shave. • The “shaving sensor”, which automatically 
adjusts the power depending on the beard 
thickness, will operate. 
It will shave with high power on areas where 
the beard is heavy, and reduce the power on 
areas where the beard is thin, to reduce 
burden on the skin.
 • The power cannot be turned on when the switch lock lamp 
() blinks, as the power switch is locked. 
Press the power switch for more than 2 seconds to unlock.  
(See page
  11.)
Tips for better shaving
Apply the whole system outer foil 
perpendicularly against the skin and 
shave by slowly gliding the shaver over 
the face against the grain of the beard.
 •The beard under the chin and around the 
throat can be sha
ved better by stretching 
the skin so the beard will stand.
 • To prevent damaging the system outer 
foil, do not shave with only a part of the 
system outer foil.
2 Press  when finished.
