DISPOSAL OF NI-CAD BATTERY CONTAINS SEALED, RECHARGEABLE NICKEL-CADMIUM BATTERY. MUST BE RECYCLED OR DISPOSED OF PROPERLY.

Depending on use, your battery should last four to six years before replacement is necessary. When replacement is necessary, follow these simple steps:

1. First remove the Flex Foil Head while shaver is in off position. Push the Shaver Head Release Button on the side of the shaver and lift foil head upward. Remove cutter bar by holding shaver in one hand, gently press down on cutter bar to rotate it 90° and gently lift it upward. Be sure your thumb and first finger are positioned at each end of cutter bar assembly.
2. Remove the two Spring Clips on the top of the shaver using a small, flat-blade screwdriver. Place hand over Spring Clips when removing in order to prevent the clips from springing away and getting lost. Pull back trimmer housing away from the shaver.
3. Cut wires on both sides of tab at each end of battery. Remove battery.
4. The RBRC program provides a convenient alternative to placing Ni-Cad batteries into the trash or the municipal waste stream, which is illegal in some areas. For proper disposal, call 1-800-8-BATTERY for a recycling center in your area.

CONGRATULATIONS! You own the Wahl® DynaFlex® Shaver. It specially It has a patented high-speed cutting system and specially angled Flex-Foil™ dual heads . . . for remarkably close, amazingly fast shaves! Plus, a concealed full-width trimmer located on the back of the shaver pops up and away from the foil head for clear view shaping of sideburns, beards and mustachos. We at Wahl are confident you will find extraordinary shaving speed, comfort and closeness. Just follow the tips in this folder.

TIPS FOR FIRST-TIME USERS

If you are using an electric shaver for the first time, your skin will
probably need to condition itself to this new shaving technique. Start on the easiest part of the face first, usually the smooth portion of the face below the ear. Shave with a light touch and use your Wahl Shaver exclusively for three to four weeks, or longer if you have sensitive skin or if your whiskers grow at different angles in certain areas. Initially your shaves may not be as close as you would like, and your skin may become a bit irritated. But if you stick with it, you will eventually get great shaves.

If you go several days without shaving and your beard gets a bit long, use the pop-up trimmer to go over your beard, catching all the longer hairs and setting up the remaining stubble for the foil to shave smooth and clean.

If you have been using another type of electric shaver before, there may also be a period of conditioning prior to receiving maximum results.

LOUD & PROUD

The Wahl® Bump-Free Shaver uses a very powerful rotary motor that delivers 10,000 cycles per minute to the cutter head. This results in a very strong audible hum, but is completely normal to its operation. Don’t settle for a weak shaver!

QUICK TIPS & HANDY REMINDERS

1. 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.
2. When you open your package, charge your shaver for 18 hours before the first shave.
3. Replace the foil head and cutter bar every 6 to 12 months, depending on how often you shave and how tough your beard is.
4. Be sure to clean the shaver, cutter bar and foil after every three or four shaves.
5. Use the pop-up long-hair trimmer to snip stray hairs and to mow down 2 to 3 day growth before shaving with your chosen foil head.
6. Keep using and both your face and beard will adapt to the shaver.
7. During the break-in period of the cutter bar, you may experience a black residue left on the face. It is a harmless combination of whiskers, skin debris and minute particles from the cutter bar which will wash off easily. This condition will quickly disappear with use.

CHARGING OPERATION

• For best performance, charge for 18 hours before the first shave. This product has been designed with the charger in the plug. This construction allows the shaver to be very powerful, yet much lighter for easier manoeuvrability, and it also keeps the line voltage safely at the plug and not in the shaver.
• Plug the transformer cord into the shaver. BE SURE SHAVER IS IN THE “OFF” POSITION (MARKED “O” ON SHAVER) WHEN CHARGING.
• 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.

HYPOALLERGENIC TITANIUM FOIL

Many African-American men suffer from pseudo folliculitis barbate also known as razor bumps. There are few solutions to this problem, but the Wahl® Bump- Free shaver can help by:

• Keeping hair even and short
• Staying as antibacterial as possible
• Reducing allergic reactions through hypoallergenic titanium foils

(!) IMPORTANT: Because this foil is capable of shaving very close, use only a light touch when shaving the neck and other areas where the skin may be thin and sensitive.

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 upper lip 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. Do not press screen heads hard against face. Heavy scrubbing action with the shaver could damage the foil and will not result in a closer shave. As a general rule, we recommend replacing the Flex Foil Head every six months for maximum results. The foil is micro- thin with precise, raised inner cutting edges around the whisker holes. These raised cutting edges will wear with use, which will be indicated if your shaver slows down and the blades seem to get warm. Always replace the Foil Guard to protect the delicate dual foil heads when shaver is off. To ensure continued shaving satisfaction, you should replace the foils and cutter bar periodically.

SHAVING HEAVY BEARD GROWTH

Begin shaving in a less dense area of the beard. Move the shaver in a circular motion on a small area of the face (this picks up the hairs that grow in all directions). When you see that this small area is shaved clean, gradually move into a new area while still using the circular motion. Continue this motion, one small section at a time , until entire face is shaved.
If your beard has more than 24-36 hours of growth, use the pop-up Long-Hair Trimmer to cut the beard down to about a one-day growth before using the shaver foil.

LONG-HAIR TRIMMER OPERATION

Your shaver features a special Long-Hair Trimmer located on the back of the shaver which telescopes up and away from the Flex Foil Head for precise and easy trimming of sideburns, beards or mustachos, and for removing long hairs from the neck. And, as mentioned earlier, it can be used to “knock down” heavy beard growth prior to shaving with the foil.

To use, remove Foil Guard and simply push the Long-Hair Trimmer Switch in an upward motion until trimmer slides (clicks) into position. Push On/Off Switch to “ON” position (marked “l” on shaver). Then begin trimming/styling.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

of Patented DynaFlex Cutters (EPO. Pat. No. 486.903) and Flex Foil Heads For maximum performance, we recommend you clean your shaver after every few shaves. Any servicing, other than replacement of Flex Foil Head and Cutter Bar Assembly, should be performed by an authorized Wahl Shaver Service Center or Wahl Clipper Corporation (see Warranty for mailing address information).
To clean, turn shaver “OFF” and remove the Flex Foil Head by pushing the Shaver Head Release Button on the side of the shaver and lifting the foil head upward.
Lightly tap the open side of the Flex Foil Head on a hard surface to remove the majority of loose stubble particles. Be careful not to tap foil.

TO REMOVE CUTTER BAR

Turn shaver off. Remove the foil head and, holding the shaver in one hand, gently press down on the cutter bar to rotate it 90° (1/4 turn) and gently lift it upward. Be sure your thumb and first finger are positioned at each end of the Cutter Bar Assembly. Use the cleaning brush provided to remove whiskers between the cutting blades. Brush carefully, so as not to break the cutter bars apart.
NOTE: If you do not hold the Cutter Bar Assembly as shown, brushing the blades could result in damage to the assembly.

When the Flex Foil Head and Cutter Bar Assembly are removed from the shaver, an alternate cleaning method is to rinse them under running water. Simply let them air dry.

After cleaning, replace the Cutter Bar Assembly by pressing it down gently and rotating 90° (1/4 turn) to lock into place. Carefully replace the Flex Foil Head, snapping it into place.

From time to time, depending on the density of your beard, you will need to replace the cutters and foils. If you notice that it is taking you longer to shave, or if your face starts to feel some irritation, or if the foil seems to become warm to the touch, it is probably time to replace the cutters and foils. Replace the cutters and foils only with WAHL parts.
