English

Notes If there is noise from the radio or other sources while using or charging the appliance, move to a different location to use the appliance. When the appliance is not used for 6 months or more, the battery will weaken )leak battery fluid, etc.(. Fully charge the battery once every 6 months. When charging the trimmer for the first time or when it has not been in use for more than 6 months, the charging time may change or the lamp on the AC adaptor may not glow for a few minutes, or the operating time may shorten. Please charge it for more than 20 hours in such cases. Recommended ambient temperature for charging is 0 °C ­ 35 °C. Battery performance may decrease outside of the recommended temperature. A full charge supplies enough power for approximately 40 minutes of use. (Based on dry using at 20 °C ­ 30 °C) The operating time may differ depending on the frequency of use, the operating method and the ambient temperature. You can charge the battery before it is completely discharged. However, it is recommended to charge when the battery is completely discharged. The battery life depends strongly on factors such as how it is used and stored.

Genitalia Genital area Crotch

Buttocks Anus Perianal region

Notes Stretch the skin on the areas with loose or flabby skin, or with wrinkles, and lightly apply the edge of the blade or attachment. Do not use the attachment on wet hair. Wet hair might clump or stick to the skin, becoming hard to trim. If you use the attachment to trim wet hair, you may not be able to achieve a uniform trim.
