the Philips shaving system.

you have used it, to prevent damage (Fig. 7).

Clean (shaving head cleaner, type HQ100) is

available. Ask your Philips dealer for

information (Fig. 8).

brush (Fig. 14).

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).

damage (Fig. 7).
