Description of shaver
Rechargeable and cord shaver: 12-240 V charging voltage without switchover
100 - 240 V line voltage operation, w/o selector switch.
Housing: Thermoplast
Shaving head and swivel frame: Thermoplast
Double shaving foil: Frame construction, "Sixtant"-geometry, Nickel,
Platinum-coated
Double Cutter block: Plastic, 27 cutter blades, 6 mm diameter
Long hair cutter: Integral part of slide (switch). Shaving head and long hair
cutter are working in opposite direction to each other.
General Information
Drive: 1.2 V direct current motor. Power transmission to shaving system by
eccentric drive.
Power supply: Supply by means of one built-in rechargeable battery or by direct mains
supply. A built-in electronic charger controls the supply automatically, inde-
pendently of the mains voltage or frequency. A green control lamp serves as
a visible sign of charging operation start by impulse-charging at 12 V.
Charging time: at 12V approx. 20 hours
from 100V on approx. 1 hour
from total discharged condition approx. 4 hours
After maximum charging capacity has been reached, the electronic device
switches back to a compensating trickle charge, which maintains capacity.
A special charging cable with fuse is available, for use with outlets in car or
boats. The most favorable ambient temperatures for shaver functioning is
between + 15 °C and + 35 °C. By no means the temperature should be
below 0 °C or above + 40 °C when charging the shaver. When 80% of the
capacity of the rechargeable battery has been used, a red capacity signal
lamp continues to light for 5 sec. after turning off the shaver and operates
continuously during the entire shaving cycle.
Technical data
1. Amplitude measured at the cutter block: 2.6 - 3 mm
2. Revolution when run on rechargeable battery: minimum 6300 RPM without long hair-cutter
3. Current input when run on line-voltage (220V): 17 mA without long hair-cutter
4. Operating capacity after shaver has been
fully charged: approx. 35 shaving minutes
