Usage Tips
Before using read the important safety instruction section in front of the manual.
Removing the Headguard
Before operating your shaver, remove the headguard, which protects the head 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 head guard.
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.

NOTE
Getting a close, comfortable shave
Remington shavers need no adjust- ments to their heads or cutters before you shave. The heads will automatically adjust to the contours of your face.
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 sensi- tive, or if you alternate between shaving methods.
Before you begin:

■Make sure your face is clean and dry before
starting.
■Always use a clean, dry shaver.
■Make sure the cutter head assembly is in the locked position.
To Shave
■Slide the ON/OFF button 
to activate the shaver
for shaving.
■ Hold the shaver so all the heads touch your face together. 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 head touches the skin. This could cause skin irritation.
■Use 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.
■It is not necessary to apply pressure while shaving, just let the shaver glide lightly on your skin. Never press hard. Pressing only flattens your whiskers, which makes it harder for them to enter the cutting chamber. It will also wear out the cutting surface more quickly. A gentle touch makes shaving easier and helps avoid possible skin irritation.
To Trim
Trim mustache
■Use the shaver heads to trim the lower edge of your mustache. Hold shaver at desired trim line for a quick, easy, professional trim.
■Use the pop-up trim-
mer for the upper edge of your mustache. Extend the trimmer and touch the edge of it to the desired line.
Trim sideburns
Extend the trimmer and touch the edge of it to the desired trim line.
