The shaver then should be completely
recharged from an outlet (100–240 V),

set at «off».
This charging method preserves the life
of the rechargeable cell unit.
The charging light
that the shaver is connected to an outlet.
When the rechargeable cell unit is fully
charged, the charging light goes off.
The shaver automatically adapts to all
international direct and alternating
current voltages (12–240 V) and all
frequencies. The shaver can also be
recharged on voltages below inter-
national standards in cars and boats, etc.
However, a minimum 12 V outlet (direct
or alternating current) is required.
Recharging this way takes approximately
20 hours, and requires a special charging
cord.
The surrounding temperature should not
be higher than 77 ° F / + 25 °C when re-
charging at 12 V, to ensure proper fun-
ctioning of the shaver.
A full charge will give you approximately
35 minutes of cordless shaving. The
shaving time, however, depends on the
strength and thickness of your beard and
the use of the longhair trimmer
Preserving the cell unit
In order to preserve the life of the cell unit,
it should be fully discharged
apprioximately once every 6 months by
normal shaving and then fully recharged
from an outlet, until the charging light
goes off (as described under «Cordless
shaving/charging»).
This procedure will condition the re-
chargeable cell unit, giving you the best
possible shaving performance and

prolonging the life of the rechargeable
cell unit. Please, do not leave the shaver
in permanent charge for several weeks.
Shaving with the cord
If your shaver's rechargeable cell unit is
discharged (i.e. when you first use the
shaver or the shaver runs out of power)
you can connect the shaver directly to an
outlet in order to shave immediately.
If the shaver should, however, not run
immediately, leave it plugged in with
switch set to «off», for approximately
1 minute. Thereafter, you can shave with
the cord plugged into the outlet.
Note: Shaving directly via the special
adapter cable while connected to outlets
below international standard voltages is
not possible.
Shaving
Remove the foil protection cap
For normal shaving push switch
to «on».
Hold the shaver at right angles to your
skin. Stretch your skin a little with your
free hand (b). Guide the shaver
smoothly against the direction of
beard growth, applying only gentle
pressure.
Removal of «problem hairs»
Problem hairs are 2 to 3 days growth
or hairs that grow underneath the chin
or around the throat. Sometimes they
also lie flat against the skin or grow in
whirls. These problem hairs are
difficult to shave off and may some-
times be missed by the foil.
You can best remove problem hairs
with the combination shave by using
the shaving foil and longhair
(a).
