1. BEFORE USING YOUR NEW PHILIPS RAZOR s Before using, check foil for wear or damage. If foil shows signs of wear or damage, do not use shaver as injury may occur. Do not use until foil has been replaced. s For wet shaving, you may wish to prepare your skin with soap or shaving cream before shaving. s For dry shaving, be certain that your skin is clean. If you have sensitive skin, you may wish to apply talcum powder before and/or after shaving. s When shaving your legs, underarms or bikini line, it is not necessary to press hard to get a close shave. Pressing too hard may cause skin irritation, and razor will not function properly. In addition, do not use deodorant or alcohol based lotions immediately before or after shaving. You may, however, want to use talcum powder. s Clean Razor regularly following MAINTENANCE instructions. s Do not submerge Razor in water for extended periods of time. s To keep Razor waterresistant, keep the rubber sealing ring in battery compartment clean and dry. Occasionally you may want to apply a thin coating of petroleum jelly to ring to keep it from drying out.
2. INSTALLING OR CHANGING BATTERIES s Your new Philips Razor requires 2 �AA� 1.5 volt alkaline or carbon zinc batteries. s Be sure hands and Razor are dry before inserting or replacing batteries. 1. Be certain Razor is in Off position. 2. Hold Razor upside down and remove Battery Compartment cover by grasping cover on both sides. Slide cover away from Razor body (Fig. 1). 3. Insert batteries as shown, making sure the (+) and (-) markings on ends of batteries match those on inside of compartment (Fig. 2). 4. Replace Battery Compartment cover by sliding cover back onto Razor body (Fig. 3). NOTE: Razor will not operate if batteries are inserted incorrectly. s If Razor will not be used on a regular basis, remove batteries.
3. SHAVING LEGS 1. Prepare legs for wet or dry shaving (see BEFORE USING YOUR NEW PHILIPS RAZOR). 2. Turn Razor on (Fig. 4). 3. Hold Razor so that Shaving Head is in full contact with your skin. Shave with smooth, steady strokes, against the direction of hair growth (Fig. 5). s Pressing too hard may cause skin irritation. s Practice is best for optimum results. 4. Turn Razor Off.
4. SHAVING UNDERARMS 1. Prepare underarms and other sensitive areas for wet or dry shaving (see BEFORE USING YOUR NEW PHILIPSRAZOR section). 2. Turn Razor on. 3.
