The battery capacity monitor will all
illuminate and the charge status lamp
will blink after charging is completed
(see fig. 2 (A)).
10 minutes after charging is com-
pleted, the battery capacity monitor
will extinguish and the charge status
lamp will continue to blink (see fig. 2
(B)).
You can fully charge the shaver in 1
hour if the LED display shows “low”
(low).
The battery capacity monitor indi-
cates the charge remaining in the
battery in 3 levels (high/mid/low). The
unit can be used once or twice more
after the “low” (low) starts to blink.
(Differs depending on the use situa-
tion.)
[for ES8043]
The charge status lamp will glow
when the shaver is being charged. It
will blink when the charging is com-
pleted (see fig. 2 (D)).
You can fully charge the shaver in 1
hour if the low battery indicator blinks
(see fig. 2 (C)).
The unit can be used once or twice
more after the low battery indicator
starts to blink.
A full charge will supply enough
power for approx. 14 shaves (3 min-
utes per shave for a normal beard).
Before travelling, charge it fully for 1
hour if you will not be taking the adap-
tor with you.
In case your shaver is without charge,
you may quick charge it for 1 shave
in about 5 minutes.
Charge with charging
stand
(see fig. 1 (B))
To charge with the charging stand,
connect the power cord to the charg-
ing stand. Place the shaver into the
stand, and plug the adaptor to the
AC outlet.
You can always store your shaver in
the charging stand to maintain full
battery capacity. This shaver cannot
be overcharged.
Using your shaver
Caution – The system outer foil is
very thin and can be damaged if
handled improperly. Before each
use, always check the foil for dam-
age. To avoid personal injury, do
not use if the foil or other parts of
the shaving head is damaged.
Disconnect the power cord from the
shaver, and push the On/Off switch
to turn the shaver on.
If you push and hold the On/Off
switch for more than 2 seconds, it
will activate the turbo mode for
“sonic” vibration cleaning.
(see “Cleaning your shaver”)
Caution:
Shaving with “sonic” vibration may
damage your skin. Please turn it
off and on again to deactivate the
turbo mode.

Do not place fingers on the On/Off
switch during use.
This may cause the shaver to stop
during use or change it to the
“sonic” vibration cleaning mode.
Place your finger on the finger rest
during use.
Hold the shaver at a right angle (90°)
to your skin (see fig. 3). 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 be-
comes accustomed to this shaver.
Applying excessive pressure does
not provide a closer shave.
Pivot action selector
(see fig. 4)
Use the pivot action selector to
choose the shaving mode, “soft”
(soft) and “lock” (lock) based on your
shaving preference.
The pivot action can be changed
whether the switch is turned on or off.
System outer foil
(see fig. 5)
System outer foil has a slit blade (a)
between 2 foils (b). They move up
and down independently to follow the
contours of your face.
The slit blade catches and cuts
longer and lying hairs easily.
For wet shaving
Put a thin layer of shaving foam on
your face which works as a lubrica-
tor. Shaving foam is the most suit-
able among many other shaving aids
(gel, soap, cream, etc.). Do not put a
thick layer of shaving foam as it may
affect shaver’s performance. If the
shaving head is clogged with foam,
simply rinse it under running water.
Using the trimmer
(see fig. 6)
Slide the trimmer handle up to open
the trimmer.
Place the trimmer at a right angle to
your skin and move it downward to
trim sideburns.
Cleaning your shaver
(see fig. 7)
Warning – To prevent electric
shock or personal injury, discon-
nect the power cord from the
shaver before cleaning with water.
For cleanliness and convenience, we
recommend that you clean your
shaver with water and a liquid hand
soap. Regular cleaning will keep your
shaver in good condition while pre-
venting odors or bacteria from devel-
oping, and maintain the cutting per-
formance.
With the system outer foil in place,
apply some hand soap onto the outer
foil.
Push and hold the On/Off switch
more than 2 seconds to activate the
turbo mode for “sonic” vibration
cleaning.
At the same time, the lamps of the
Battery capacity monitor (ES8044) or
Low battery indicator/Charge status
lamp (ES8043) will flash around ran-
domly.
