How to use the shaver.

To operate

Press the OFF/ON switch. For model ES-RW30, ES-RT51, depress the switch lock button, and slide the OFF/ON switch upwards.
Hold the shaver as illustrated and shave.

Start out shaving by applying gentle pressure to your face. Stretch your skin with your free hand and move the shaver back and forth in the direction of your beard. You may gently increase the amount of pressure as your skin becomes accustomed to this shaver. Applying excessive pressure does not provide a closer shave.
