� Rub your skin to lift short hairs. � Move the epilator slowly on the skin with the skin protector vertically touching. Legs and arms epilation Please use the large epilation head. Important for arms and legs epilation: Apply epilator at right angles (90°) against your skin. Press gently and guide the appliance slowly against hair growth. Underarms and bikini-line epilation When epilating underarm, your arm should be raised. Please use the small epilation head. Be aware that these areas are particularly sensitive to pain. However, the pain sensation will diminish with repeated usage. For this specific application, we would like to give the following advices: � Hairs on the underarms are growing in different directions, therefore move the epilator in several directions. � Before epilating, thoroughly clean the respective area to remove residue (like deodorant). Then dry carefully to avoid skin irritation. � Hair should not be longer than 5mm. � Do not use alcoholic deodorants.

For underarms and bikini-line It is helpful to use a shaver head 3 to 5 days before using the epilator. Shaving Before using make sure the blade is not warped or damaged, as this may cause injury. Apply the shaver head so that the whole of the blade is in close contact with the skin. Press gently and guide the appliance slowly against hair growth. Applying with too much force prevents hairs from being guided to the blades so that some areas may be left unshaved. Trimmer It is helpful to use the trimmer only when you want to cut the long hair. When the trimmer is up, apply the blade gently. Shaving with pre-epilation comb When the hair is long before epilation, we recommend you to use a shaver head with pre-epilation comb. Place the pre-epilation comb onto the shaver head, and slide trimmer up. When the pre-epilation comb is in place, make sure the comb is in close contact with the skin.
