or sink of water. Do not reach for your unit if it has fallen into water

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
The Epil&Shave can be used either as a cordless rechargeable
unit or by plugging it into an electrical outlet.
Before using the Epil&Shave for the first time as a rechargeable
unit, you need to charge the battery for 8 hours. fter the initial
charging you will only need to recharge your unit after every few
sessions for 4-6 hours. To extend the lifetime of your unit we
recommend that you fully drain, let the battery ware out, every
six months.
For best results : take a warm bath or shower, to open up your
pores, and use the loofa sponge, enclosed, in small circles to
exfoliate and remove dead skin from the area you wish to remove
hair. You can use the loofa with any bath/shower gel or bar
soap. Doing this before you use your Epil&Shave will cleanse
and make your skin pliable, so removing hair will be less uncom-
fortable.

temperature to avoid perspiration.

or stop operating completely if it is pressed too hard against the

9 - Before removing hair from the bikini line and underarms it is
important to use the loofa sponge in a warm shower or bath to

since you have removed hair from your bikini line and underarms,
trim the hair with a scissor or trimmer. Make sure to hold your skin
taut with one hand while removing hair.
