Usage Tips

Removing the Headguard

Before operating your shaver, remove the head- guard,which protects the screen and cutter assem- bly. Simply push up from the front or the back until it pops off.

!Always keep the protective head guard on the shaver head and keep the trimmer in the OFF position when the shaver is out of the cleaning base and not in use.

Operating the Trimmer

Your shaver is equipped with a 3- position trimmer. Use the trimmer push tab to extend or retract the trimmer.

1.Completely retracted (down),the trim- mer is out of the way and off,for when you want to use the screens alone.

Press the trimmer down with your thumb to get it into this position.

2.In the middle position,the trimmer works with the screens,cutting the longer, hard-to-shave hairs so the screens can get in extra close.Slide the trimmer into the position level with the foils.

3.Fully extended (up),the trimmer can be used to trim your sideburns and mus- tache.Slide the trimmer into the top position,above the foils.

Operating the Pop-up

Mini-foil

Your shaver is equipped with a 2-position mini-foil.Use the mini-foil push tab to extend or retract the mini foil.

1.Completely retracted (down),the mini- foil works with the 2 large screens to provide a close and comfortable shave.

2.Fully extended (up),the mini-foil can be used to provide a close shave for small or difficult-to-reach areas,for a detailed look.

!Do NOT retract the mini-foil by pressing down directly on the screen.This could permanently damage the screen.

Adjusting to your new shaver

As with every shaver, your shave will improve over time.So allow about three weeks to develop an effective shaving style and for your beard to adjust to the new shaver. The adaptation period may take a little longer if your skin is sensitive,or if you alternate between shaving methods.

To help smooth the transition to your new shaver, Remington has applied a special lubricant to the shaver’s screens and cut- ters.The lubricant looks like fine,white or gray powder, and disappears with use.

Before you begin

Wait at least 15 minutes

shaving,to ensure your

face is free of puffiness that may be present from sleeping.

Make sure your face is clean and dry before starting.

Always use a clean,dry shaver.

To shave

Push the ON/OFF button. Hold the shaver so both screens touch your face at the same time.This allows the shaver to work the way it was designed

for the closest shave and minimum wear. Avoid holding the shaver at an angle so only one screen touches the skin at a time. This will distort the screen and could cause skin irritation.

Shave with short, circular strokes.Use your free hand to stretch your skin. This encourages your whiskers to stand out, making it easier for them

to enter the cutting chamber.

Never press hard. Pressing only flattens your whiskers,making it harder for them

to enter the cutting chamber. It will also

wear out the cutting surface more quickly.

For an even better shave…

®

Remington Pre-Shave Powder Stick (SP-5) or the Pre-Shave Lotion with Aloe (SP-6) can help maximize your shaver’s performance.Just rub either product over your beard.Both absorb moisture and facial oils,helping set up the hairs so they enter the cutting chamber more easily. They make shaving quicker and more comfortable.
