Scholl saws: working principle, equipment, use and care
In the modern world, the legs have a special load, and as a result, the feet are mainly affected. Your feet need careful and regular grooming, just like your entire body. A fairly common problem is the presence of dry and rough skin on the surface of the heels. To overcome this disadvantage, many methods are presented today. Some prefer different procedures in beauty salons, while others prefer to independently care for their feet at home, but using different tools. Scholl nail files are the ideal solution for personal use, as they allow you to soften your heels by quickly and thoroughly removing rough skin.
Principle of operation
The Scholl file is a high-quality tool that allows you to put the surface of your feet in order in a matter of minutes. This device is convenient to use as it runs on batteries. It is equipped with a comfortable handle, which is made of a special rubberized material, which guarantees an anti-slip effect. The working principle of the nail file is quite simple.
This device is equipped with a special rotating roller that gently removes rough skin at a certain speed.
The erasure of cornification occurs as a result of contact with the roller nozzle, which, in turn, has a rather hard abrasive layer. To turn on this device, it is enough to turn the ring located on the top of the instrument.
To operate the file, you should use four AA batteries. Depending on how often the device will be used, it will be necessary to replace the batteries. If you use a nail file every day, the batteries will most likely last for one month. If the video starts spinning slower or does not work at all, then the first step is to install new batteries. The Scholl file has a special cap that reliably protects the roller from contact with the external environment.
If the device turns on accidentally, the roller cannot harm you.
The cap must be removed only before working with the device. In the event of a breakdown, the roller can be successfully replaced. And this is more profitable than buying a new nail file, since a replacement roller costs three times less.
Equipment
The Scholl nail file attracts the attention of many women due to its unusual and colorful design. It is made in white and blue colors. The product package includes the following components:
- a device that is equipped with a thick anti-slip handle;
- plastic cover;
- replaceable nozzles (rollers);
- set of batteries (four pieces).
All items are sold in a plastic box with a cardboard bottom. And also the kit includes instructions for using the device. It should be noted that the roller attachments have an abrasive surface with diamond grit.
To replace the attachment, you do not even need instructions, since just one press is enough to remove and then put on a new roller.
Advantages and disadvantages
Scholl foot files are quite famous among modern girls and women. This product has received many positive reviews. To understand why many the fair sex choose the Scholl electric file, it is worth considering its main advantages.

If we compare the Scholl nail file with similar tools from other brands, then it is worth noting the following undeniable advantages:
- the Scholl file does not need to be connected to the mains, but the Kemei device works exclusively with a charger, so it is inconvenient to take it with you on various trips; battery models are in demand;
- to use the Scholl file, you do not need to carry out special procedures to soften the skin of the legs, and the Mertz laser grater can be used only after the obligatory preparation of the legs;
- tools from Gezatone and Kemei have less comfortable grips than Scholl's.
Important! The Scholl electric nail file has only one speed, which is optimal for cleaning the skin of the feet, while the possibility of damage is reduced to zero.
In addition to pluses, the Scholl device also has minuses.
- The high price is perhaps the main disadvantage of this product. But you should understand that you always have to pay for quality; the average cost of a product is 2 thousand rubles.
- Slowness of the process. Since you can only work with a nail file at one speed, the cleaning process is slow and gentle, so you should be patient to get a good result.
- If your feet look rather neglected, and a nail file cannot solve this problem on its own, you should enlist the support of other devices for cleaning the skin of your feet.
- During work, a haze may appear, which is formed from particles of dead skin.
- The file makes quite a lot of noise during operation.
- Since its weight is 250 g, during long-term work you have to change your hand, because the hand gets tired quite quickly.
- If you press the device strongly or hold it in one area for a long time, then the skin may become reddened, as well as traumatized.
Contraindications
Scholl files have practically no contraindications, but you should carefully study the instructions in order to get the desired result and not harm yourself. The only condition is that it is strongly discouraged to use the nail file for people who have diabetes.
How to use?
The kit includes instructions for using the Scholl nail file. It is worth noting that you need to fully follow all the recommendations from the instructions so that working with the nail file is safe. The basic rules of its use should be considered in more detail. First you need to do the preparation.
- Open the packaging and take out the device.
- Remove the protective film and the plastic ring - you just need to turn the bottom of the file counterclockwise, then insert the batteries into the device and return it to its original position.
- Pay attention to the roller, namely the rigidity of its spraying. If it seems unsuitable, then you need to replace the nozzle.
- Before working with the nail file, be sure to remove the protective cover.
The process of using the Scholl nail file is as follows:
- the device includes: you need to press the left side of the ring, which will lead to the action of the roller;
- the instrument should be gently brought to the skin and moved slowly over the entire surface;
- it should be remembered that the file should not be in one place for more than five seconds, it must be constantly moved;
- special attention should be paid to pressing force: if you apply more force, then the tool can injure healthy skin; work should be done slowly, smoothly;
- in order for the abrasive coating to fulfill its function of cleaning the skin, it is imperative that they work only with dry feet;
- to cope with severely rough skin on the heels, the nail file should be applied every day until the desired result appears;
- after work, the tool must be turned off - to do this, press on the right side of the ring;
- the feet should be rinsed with water to remove the remnants of dead skin cells, and then moisturized with a foot and nail cream.
How to care?
For the appliance to work properly, you need to monitor its condition regularly, performing simple actions.
- The file includes four batteries. If they are already shrunk, then the device will work very slowly. Therefore, it is worth checking the batteries first, and if necessary, replace them with new ones.
- If you use a nail file quite often, then the spraying of the roller attachment begins to wear off and cannot do its job as efficiently as before. Thanks to the removable mechanism, the attachment can be replaced with a new one. To properly disassemble the file, you can use the instructions. Since the set of the device does not include replaceable rollers, they must be purchased separately.
- Moisture negatively affects the operation of the nail file, so the feet must be dry before the procedure. They should be washed and dried.
- After cleaning the heels, the file must be put in order.You must first remove the roller attachment, rinse it under running water, wipe it with a damp cloth and wait until it is completely dry before putting it back in place.
How to distinguish an original from a fake?
Since Scholl nail files are in high demand among the fair sex, you can often find a fake. To purchase a quality product, you should pay attention to a few points.
- The inscriptions on the packaging and instructions for the original product have been fully translated into Russian. From the instructions it will be possible to find out the rules of use, care of the device, as well as its complete set. The fake from China has no translation.
- Presence of the Cosmopolitan tag. The original has it on the outside of the package, it immediately attracts attention. There is no such tag on a fake.
- The presence of a batch code. There is a code on the back of the package, which means that you have the original in front of you. Accordingly, its absence speaks of a fake product.
- The presence of batteries. A real nail file from the manufacturer is equipped with two or four batteries, while a fake one does not have them at all.
Another important criterion is the cost of the product. An original Scholl nail file usually costs more than 1,500 rubles. If the product is cheaper, then this should alert: most likely, in front of you is a fake. It is worth purchasing Scholl products exclusively at trusted retail outlets, because buying a fake has the following consequences:
- short service life;
- low power of work, so there is no expected effect;
- there is no guarantee for product repair;
- there is a high probability of damage to the skin when working with a low-quality device.
Reviews
The Scholl file has been experienced by many buyers, among whom there are those who are completely satisfied with the operation of the device, as well as those who did not like some points. The advantage of the device is that it works exclusively with dry skin. But this is also the disadvantage: during work, dust is formed, which scatters around the room where the feet are cleaned. Some users don't like weight. The device weighs 250 g, and if you take it with you on a trip, then this weight is quite noticeable, given that ordinary pumice weighs much less. Since the device includes 4 batteries and a metal roller, the hand quickly gets tired when working with it.
The girls love the clever design. If necessary, you can replace not only the batteries, but also the roller itself, which is very convenient. The manufacturer's warranty also inspires confidence, since in the event of a breakdown, you can hope to have it repaired or replaced. Unfortunately, the price of the product is quite high. Not everyone can afford to purchase such a nail file for their toes for more than 1,000 rubles. And also do not forget about the speed of work. Of course, the manufacturer refers to the advantages of slow cleaning of the skin, because this way they are less prone to damage, but not every girl has the patience to carry out this procedure.
