    • Open the battery compartment of the Shaver Part begins with cutting the outer wrapping of silicone along the red line with a knife.

    • After removing the silicone layer you will see the internal battery compartment structure, next you just need to use a screwdriver to press down the metal part inside the red circle to remove the battery compartment smoothly.

    • It took me a long time to disassemble the razor section, which appears to have a molded case and was designed with the intention of never opening it again.

    • The protective part of the Trimming part simply comes off by pushing your thumb along the red line position.

    • The blade part of the Trimming part simply comes off by pushing your thumb along the red line position.

    • The position shown by the circle in the picture is where the output of the motor is located, and this metal bar will always make a clockwise movement.

    • The Trimming Part works by constantly moving the blade from side to side to cut the hair.

    • Open the Trimming Part begins with cutting the outer wrapping of silicone along the red line with a knife.

    • Once you open the silicone skin you can see the circuit board part of the button.

    • Since the outer layer of the Trimming Part circuit board's outer layer is made up of three layers of plastic tightly wrapped together, I attempted to use a drill bit to open up the entire enclosure, but that ended in failure.

    • Since I couldn't open the inner structure, I drew pictures of the inner structure.

    • The second image is from the web, this one shows a similar internal structure.
