[. . . ] Requirements ►►Read the instruction manual in full to familiarise yourself with the product before the first use. –ºâ–ºThis appliance can be used by children from aged 14 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision. –ºâ–ºUse this appliance only for its intended purpose. [. . . ] If you have been using another type of electric shaver before, there may also be a period of conditioning prior to receiving maximum results. If you are a first-time electric shaver user, or changing from another brand, there will be a 2 to 3 week (or less) adjustment period while your face and beard adapts to the new foil. When you open your package, charge your shaver for 1 hour before the first shave or until charging is complete. Replace the foil head and cutter bars every 12 months or if foils are damaged. Replacement foils can be ordered by contacting WAHL customer Services. Be sure to clean the shaver, cutter bars and foil after every three or four shaves. TRAVEL LOCK The Wahl Shaver comes with an electronic travel lock to avoid accidental activation while transporting. When travel lock is active, pressing the power button will cause the LED(s) to flash for 1 second. NOTE: The shaver will not charge while the travel lock is engaged CHARGING OPERATION 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. 60 minutes charge time will provide you with 90 minutes cordless operation. MODELS WITH 1 LED Charge when shaver seems to lose power or run slower. MODELS WITH 2 LEDS The red LED will flash for one second when turning off the shaver when it is time to charge (below 10%). 11 SHAVER MODELS WITH 5 LEDS The LED meter will show the amount of charge left on the shaver. The fewer lights that are lit, the lower the charge on the battery is. The red LED will flash for one second when turning off the shaver when it is time to charge (below 10%). SHAVING PROCEDURES FOR FAST, CLOSE SHAVES We suggest that you thoroughly cleanse and completely dry your skin prior to shaving. For maximum speed and efficiency, hold the shaver so that both screens are in contact with the skin. When shaving the upperlip or neck, hold shaver so that the uppermost screen is in contact with skin. Shave both with and against the grain of the beard, and stretch the skin taut in the path of the shaver. Guide the dual foil heads gently back and forth, primarily against the grain of the beard. Heavy scrubbing action with the shaver could damage the foil and will not result in a closer shave. [. . . ] Care should be taken to dispose of in a suitable manner in accordance with your Local Authority regulation. 21 SHAVER GUARANTEE This product is guaranteed against defects in material and workmanship for a period of 5 years from the date of original purchase or receipt as a gift.
