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.

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. For areas with thick or dense hair growth, trim a bit at a time. Hair sometimes gets caught or builds up in the attachment. When this happens, clean the attachment. (See page 12.)
Without attachment Apply light pressure and slowly move the trimmer against
the direction of hair growth.

trimmer in a gliding motion. This allows you to trim hair down to a length of
approximately 0.1 mm. It does not matter which side of the blade you lay
against your skin.

against your skin and then slowly move the trimmer.
This allows you to safely trim hair down to a length of approximately 2 mm.
