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.

Wear-through:You may notice that the cutters have worn through the screens.

The replacement part for this shaver is model SP-95 (screens) and SP-96 (screens and cutters).
