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 Razor only can be submerged in water. However, do not submerge for extended periods of time. s You may wish to store Razor in its Charging Base (with base connected to electrical outlet), so that Razor is kept fully charged. However, remember to allow battery to totally deplete charge every 4 weeks (see TO CHARGE/ RECHARGE).
