3Shave by slowly gliding the shaver over your 
face against the grain of the beard.
 
• Start 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 becomes 
accustomed to this shaver. Applying excessive pressure 
does not provide a closer shave.

• If you press the power switch for more than 2 seconds, the sonic 
vibration cleaning mode is activated. (See page 14.) 
You cannot shave in this mode.
 
• Do not place your fingers on the power switch while using the

turn off. Place your fingers on the thumb rest while using the 
shaver.
 
• The appliance may not operate in an ambient temperature 
approximately 5 °C (41 °F) or lower.  
• Depending on the beard thickness or the amount of beard 
trimmings in the shaver head, the shaving sensor may not react 
and the driving sound may not change. This is not abnormal.
 
• The shaving sensor may not respond depending on the type of 
the shaving gel and shaving foam, but this is normal.
 
• The shaving sensor may not respond when the remaining battery 
capacity is low. If this happens, recharge the shaver.
 
• Avoid the following situations to prevent damaging the system 
outer foil. Applying pressure to any part of the system outer foil or 
bringing the system outer foil into contact with hard object may 
cause damage on the system outer foil.
