For environmental protec-
tion and recycling of
materials
This shaver contains Nickel-Cad-
mium battery.
When you are no longer able to use
your shaver after consulting dealers
and decide to discard it, the battery
must be recycled or disposed of
properly.
How to remove the built-in re-
chargeable battery before dis-
posal of the shaver (see fig. 10)
The battery in this shaver is not in-
tended to be replaced by consum-
ers. However, the battery may be re-
placed at an authorized service cen-
tre. The procedure described in fig.
10 is intended only for removal for
proper disposal. Discard shaver only
after the battery has been removed.
1. Remove the protective cap, foil
frame and inner blade.
2. Remove the two screws (a) on the
top.
3. Remove the two screws (b) and
remove the bottom cover (c).
4. Push the chassis (d) out of the
housing.
5. Remove the battery (e) from the
chassis.
Caution
• Do not charge the shaver where the
temperature is below 0°C (32°F) or
above 40°C (104°F), where it will
be exposed to direct sunlight or a
heat source, or where there is a lot
of moisture.
• Use only the included shaver
charging adaptor RE3-68 to charge
the ES3042, ES3041 shaver.
• The supply cord of the charging
adaptor cannot be replaced; if the
cord is damaged, the entire charger
should be discarded.
• Dry the shaver completely before
setting it in the charging adaptor.
• Keep the charging adaptor away
from water and handle it only with
dry hands. Do not use an extension
cord to connect the charging adap-
tor to an outlet.
• Grip the plug when disconnecting
the charging adaptor from a recep-
tacle; tugging on the cord may dam-
age it.
• Store the charging adaptor and its
cord set in a dry area where it will
be protected from damage.

Using the trimmer
(see fig. 4)
Shaving longer, curly hairs under
the chin (see fig. 4A)
Slide the trimmer handle up to the
1st position. This position makes the
trimmer an intercept cutter, cutting
long hairs while the outer foil shaves
shorter hairs. Make sure that the trim-
mer is facing outward away from the
neck.
Trimming sideburns (see fig. 4B)
Slide the trimmer handle up to the 2
position.
Place the trimmer at a right angle to
your skin and move it downward to
trim sideburns.
Cleaning your shaver
(see fig. 5)
For cleanliness and convenience, we
recommend that you clean your
shaver with water and a liquid hand
soap. Regular cleaning will keep your
shaver in good condition while pre-
venting odors or bacteria from devel-
oping, and maintain the cutting per-
formance.
With the outer foil in place, apply
some hand soap onto the outer foil.
Turn the shaver on and pour some
water over the outer foil.
After about 10-20 seconds, turn the
shaver off.
Remove the foil frame and clean it
with running water.
Wipe off any moisture from the
shaver with a dry cloth and remove
the protective cap to allow the outer
foil to dry completely.
Brush cleaning
Squeeze the foil frame release but-
tons and lift the foil frame upward to
remove it (see fig. 6).
Remove the inner blade by grasping
it firmly at both ends and pulling it
straight away from the shaver (see
fig. 8). Clean the outer foil, the shaver
body and the trimmer with the long
side of the brush (see fig. 9). Clean
the inner blade with the short side of
the brush (see fig. 9). Do not use the
short brush to clean the outer foil.
Replacing shaving head
components
It is recommended that you replace
the outer foil at least every year and
the inner blade at least every two
years to maintain your shaver’s cut-
ting performance.
Remove the outer foil
Squeeze the foil frame release but-
tons and lift the foil frame upward to
remove it. Remove the outer foil from
the frame by slipping it off the hooks.
(Caution: The foil may spring out
when released from the hooks.) (see
fig. 6)
tle pressure to your face. Stretch your
skin with your free hand and move
the shaver back and forth in the di-
rection of your beard. You may gen-
tly increase the amount of pressure
as your skin becomes accustomed
to this shaver. Applying excessive
pressure does not provide a closer
shave.
