Brush carefully in the direction of the arrow. 6 Brush the guard (fig. 15). 7 Slide the shaving heads back into the retaining frame and put the retaining frame back into the shaving unit (fig. 16). 8 Put the shaving unit back onto the shaver. � For extra thorough cleaning, clean the shaving heads by putting them in a degreasing liquid (e.g. alcohol) every six months. To remove the shaving heads, follow steps 1 to 4 described above. After cleaning, lubricate the central point on the inside of the guards with a drop of sewing machine oil to prevent wear of the shaving heads (fig. 17). Storage �
