Use

Using the Nail Care
Steps to achieve a good finish

Step1: Filing
You can create 45-degree nail tips that are less likely to separate.
Frequency of use: once a week

1. Attach the filing attachment.
2. Slide the power switch to the “1” position to turn the appliance on.
3. Touch the attachment against the nail from the inner side at a 45‑degree angle to the surface.
4.  Shape the nail.
   • When you are shortening a long nail, first cut the nail using nail nippers, nail clippers, etc.

Step 2: Cuticle care
You can keep your nails healthy, make them look longer, and create beautiful lines.
Frequency of use: once every 10 days to 2 weeks

1. Attach the cuticle care attachment.
2. With the power switch in the
   “0” position, press the attachment against the cuticle.
   • Before caring for your cuticles, we recommend softening them by taking a bath or soaking your fingers in lukewarm water.• If used with the power switch in the “1” position, the attachment may press too hard on the cuticle and cause bleeding.
   • Pressing too hard on the cuticle may result in roughness on the new nail.

Step 3: Polishing (coarse)

Smooth surface roughness.
Frequency of use: twice a month

1. Attach the polishing attachment (Coarse).
2. Polish the entire surface of the nail with the file.• You can achieve a better finish by placing your fingers on a table.
   • If you have thick and rough nails, take care to smooth the surface sufficiently.
   • If you have thin nails, take care not to overuse the appliance or press too hard.

Step3: Polishing (finishing)

Smooth the surfaces.
Frequency of use: once a week

1. Attach the polishing attachment (Finishing).
2. Polish the nail, pressing firmly with the file.
   • Move the appliance horizontally and laterally with respect to the nail, polishing the entire surface.

After use

1. Slide the power switch to the “0” position to turn the appliance off. (Fig. 6)
2. Attach the protective cap.• Attach so that the mark on the protective cap aligns with the specified line (a) on the back surface of the appliance.

Seal lifespan

Replacing seals(Fig.7)
