- Clean the machine whenever hair accumulates on it.
- Shave the sides of the head: Start shaving from the bottom of the neck to the top of your head, and shave the hair on the sides and the top. Be careful when shaving the area behind the ears. Use one hand to hold your ear while shaving and shave with the other hand so as not to injure your ear. If you have difficulty shaving a strand, reverse the direction of shaving and shave against the direction of the strand.
- Shave the back of your head: You must hold your hand firmly while shaving the back of your head that you cannot see. Start shaving from the bottom to the top. Be careful and do not rush to shave the back of the head and let the razor glide smoothly over the uneven areas.
