How to Use

Charging

Before using your shaver for the first time, put it on charge for 24 hours.

NOTE: It may take up to 3 cycles for the battery to reach full capacity.

To charge your shaver:

■Slide the power button downward to the OFF position.

■Connect the supplied AC power cord to the shaver’s recharge port and then to an electrical outlet.

■Your shaver cannot be overcharged, so you can leave it plugged in and charging between shaves.

■To preserve the life of the batteries, allow them to fully discharge every six months, then recharge them for 24 hours.

Removing the Headguard

Before operating your shaver, remove the headguard, which protects the screen and cutter assembly. It is important to remove the headguard correctly to avoid damaging the clips that hold it to the shaver.

1.Press lightly on the top of the headguard.

2.Lift the lower rear edge.

3.Pull the headguard away from the shaver.

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

Operating the Trimmer

Your shaver is equipped with a 3-position trimmer.

1.Completely retracted (down), the trimmer is out of the way and off, for when you want to use the screens alone. Press the trimmer button down with your thumb to get it into this position.

2.In the middle position,

the trimmer works with the screens, so

the screens can get in extra close, cutting the longer, hard-to-

shave hairs. Push the LEFT side of trimmer button for this position.

3.Fully extended (up),

the trimmer can

be used to trim your sideburns and mustache. Push the RIGHT side of trimmer button for this position.

How it works

Trimmer blades work in concert with the shaver’s dual-screen system, cutting the longer, difficult-to-shave hairs. The trimmer blades take the brunt of the shaver wear and tear, so you get a close comfortable shave, time after time.

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 cutters. The lubricant looks like fine, white or gray powder, and disappears with use.

Before you begin:

■Wait at least 15 minutes

after getting up before		12
shaving, to ensure the	9	3
face is free of puffiness		6
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 foils 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.
