First use and Charging

your shave. With switching off the shaver a beep
sound reminds of the low charge status.

Tips for a perfect dry shave
For best results, Braun recommends you to follow
3 simple steps:
1. Always shave before washing your face.
2. At all times, hold the shaver at the right angle
(90°) to your skin.
3. Stretch your skin and shave against the direction
of your beard growth.
MultiHeadLock switch (head lock)
To shave hard-to-reach areas (e.g. under the nose)
slide the MultiHeadLock switch (3) down to lock the
shaver head. The shaver head can be locked in five
positions. To change position, move the shaver head
with your thumb and forefinger back or forth. It will
automatically click into the next position.
To set it back into the pivoting position the
MultiHeadLock switch needs to be slid up again.
Models 5090cc/5070cc/5050cc: For automatic
cleaning in the Clean&Charge Station the head lock
should be released.
Long hair trimmer
To trim sideburns, moustache or beard press the
release button (8a) and slide the long hair trimmer
(6) upwards.
Shaving with the cord (models 5090cc/5070cc/
5050cc/5030s/5020s only)
If the shaver has run out of power (discharged), you
may also shave with the shaver connected to an
electrical outlet via the special cord set.

3 seconds the shaver is locked. This is confirmed
