The object we have selected is a trimmer. It trims hair easily using different scales. The trimmer
we have is the PAOLI RFCZ-681, made in Japan. It is an electrically and mechanically
functioning product. We hope to develop its battery life and scaling capabilities

individual to trim his/her bodily hair,
especially for men for their facial hair without
causing any injuries or harshness to the skin,
unlike the razor and scissor
This product has a rechargeable battery. We
probably would have to charge for about 3-4
hours to get it running for more than 30
minutes. There are two shafts which move
together but to either side, which would trim or
cut the hair. They move fast so that it quickens
the task. The button is available to switch
on/off. Maybe it has a mechanism connecting
the button and the blades. It has a motor
because there is a sound when switched on and
working.
The product is used by both male and female
of age groups 12 and above, because they will
know how to use it safely.
1. Easy handling and comfort.
2. Be quicker and accurate than the
traditional way.
3. Better performance than previous
products.
4. Better battery performance
Problems in determining the shape
they would have had problems with the
design in making it more comfortable
to handle.
Tested different materials, over and
over again - They might have had
problems with the material used to
design this trimmer but they have
settled with plastic
 Size They would have had problems
with the size of the trimmer, to make it
portable.
Battery Problems with the battery life
as to how long the fully charged
product will be useable.
To determine which scaling will satisfy
the user They would have had
problems with the scaling properties of
the trimmer.
Weight The weight of the product
would have been a problem. This
product is slightly heavy, but carriable.

2.2 Observation
How do you think it works? The power button would be closing the circuit
to which the battery, motor and other
electronics inside the product are connected.
The motor probably is connected to the blade
which moves. Only one blade moves while the
other is stationary.

How does it meet design objectives(overall)? The design is done for easy and comfortable
handling. A motor is fixed to make the blades
move to cut or trim the hair. The charging port
is kept for recharging purposes. A light is
placed for showing us that it is charging.
2.3 Disassemble
How does it work? The battery is charged and the motor is run by
it through the circuit, which is controlled by
the control switch. A shaft is held by a shaft
holder and the other is connected to the motor,
moves horizontally to trim the hair.

5. Statement of the problem

Heavy weight, and takes time to charge. It is noisy when switched on. No indicator to show the
amount of charge available. Less efficient rechargeable battery. Gives out heat and sometimes
the hair gets caught. No proper scaling to trim. Hair or dust gets into the trimmer easily. Water
degrades the product.
