How to use

Switch the device on and gently glide the shaver over the fabric surface, keeping the head flat and moving in a single direction to collect pills. For best results, lay garments on a flat surface to avoid stretching while shaving. Empty the lint container regularly to maintain cutting performance and reduce clogging. For delicate materials, use light pressure and test on an inconspicuous area first.

Recommendations

Use on dry, clean fabrics and avoid contact with wet or heavily soiled material. Keep away from children and follow battery safety guidelines, replacing both batteries at the same time. Clean the cutting head and mesh according to the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure long-term performance.
