Abstract
Personal care devices such as hair removal devices or electric shavers include a working head, a handle, an adjustment device, and a hazard determination device. The working head is configured for applying a personal care treatment to a body surface. The handle is attached to the working head to enable a user to manually move the working head along the body surface. The adjustment device is configured to adjust various settings of the working head. The hazard determination device sends a hazard signal to the adjustment device when a hazard condition to the personal care device is recognized, such as a freefall condition, high temperature, or low battery charge. Example hazard determination devices may include acceleration sensors, gyrosensors, temperature sensors, or voltage detectors. The adjustment device responds to the hazard signal by adjusting a setting of the working head into a safe harbor setting to protect the personal care device.
