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.

■ 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 all of the screens touch your face at the same time. This allows the shaver to
work the way it was designed for the clos- est 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 encour- ages 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.

Replacing Cutters and
Screens
To prevent inadvertent damage to the cut- ters and screens, do not attempt to remove them from the head assembly unless you are replacing them. Removal instructions are included with the cutter and screen replacement packages.
To replace a cutter assembly that is removed unintentionally:
1.Hold the cutter in the middle. The blades will not cut your fingers, so no special
handling techniques are necessary.
2. Align the cutter so the little bar on the bottom meets the opening in the clip.
3.Press down on the center of the cutter until it snaps into place. Do not push down on the ends of the cutter, as you may bend the cutter, reducing its ability to cut cleanly.
4.Do not separate the cutter’s blades from the plastic pieces they are attached to, as this may damage the assembly.
When is it time to replace your screens and cutters?
Because they are subject to daily use, the cutters and screens of your shaver will wear and eventually require replacement to maintain a close, comfortable shave. It is very important to replace your screens and cutters when necessary to ensure a close, comfortable shave without irritation.
Depending on your shaving technique and habits, the screens will usually last 6 months; the cutters, 12 months. If you are replacing the cutters, it’s a good idea to replace the screens at the same time.
Here are some signs that your screens and cutters need replacing:
Irritation: As screens get worn, you may notice that your skin feels more sensitive after a shave, particularly when you apply aftershave.
Pulling: As cutters wear, your shave may not feel as close and you may feel your shaver is pulling at your whiskers.
