`LIST OF CURRENT CLAINIS
`
`1. (Currently amended) A personal trimming system comprising:
`
`an elongated main body having a motor and a part of a driving unit for converting
`
`a rotation of the motor into a reciprocating motion, the elongated main body having a
`
`lengthwise dimension that defines a length direction of the trimming system; and
`
`an elongated head portion extending from an end of said main body generally
`
`along said length direction,
`
`the head portion having a driven member reciprocating
`
`generally along said length direction,
`
`wherein the head portion is pivotably supported with respect to the main body, and
`
`a gap is provided between the main body and a step formed on a boundary between an
`
`upper portion of the head portion and a lower portion of the head portion.
`
`2. (Previously presented) The personal trimming system of claim 1, wherein the
`
`head portion has a trimming surface and a direction of a pivoting axis of the head portion
`
`is substantially perpendicular to the trimming surface.
`
`3. (Original) The personal trimming system of claim 1, wherein a length of the
`
`head portion is about 1/5 to 1/3 of an entire length of the personal trimming system .
`
`4. (Previously presented) The personal trimming system of claim 1, wherein the
`
`gap is small enough to prevent a user’s skin from being pinched therebetween in a state
`
`where the head portion is pivoted to a maximum allowable angle with respect to the main
`
`body.
`
`5. (Currently amended) The personal trimming system of claim 1, wherein the
`
`the head portion bei-n-g i_s
`
`pivoted on the main body via the lower portion of the head portion, and a part of the lower
`
`portion of the head portion is exposed outward and a circumference thereof is smaller than
`
`those of the upper portion of the head portion and the main body.
