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.
To trim navel hair, lay the blade flat against your skin and then move the 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.
Attachment for groin Lightly apply the edge of the attachment for groin against your skin and then slowly move the trimmer.

This allows you to safely trim hair down to a length of approximately 2 mm.

Blade life
Blade life varies according to the frequency and period of use of the trimmer. For example, the blade life is approximately 3 years when using the trimmer for 10 minutes once a week. Replace the blades if cutting efficiency reduces substantially despite proper maintenance.
Battery life
Battery life will vary according to the frequency and length of use. If the battery is charged once a month, the service life will be approximately 3 years. If the operating time is significantly shorter even after a full charge, the battery has reached the end of its life.

Removing the built-in rechargeable battery

Please make sure that the battery is disposed of at an officially designated location if there is one. This figure must only be used when disposing of the trimmer, and must not be used to repair it. If you dismantle the trimmer yourself, it will no longer be waterproof, which may cause it to malfunction.
Remove the trimmer from the AC adaptor. Slide the power switch to turn on the power and then keep the power on until the battery is completely discharged. Perform steps 1 to 8 and lift the battery, and then remove it. Take care not to short circuit the positive and negative terminals of the removed battery, and insulate the terminals by applying tape to them.
