Cleaning your shaver

TO ASSURE OPTIMAL
PERFORMANCE, IT IS
RECOMMENDED THAT YOU CLEAN
YOUR SHAVER AFTER EACH USE.
Detach the handheld unit from the
power supply cord before cleaning.
The cutting system of this shaver
was designed to be cleaned by rins-
ing under warm running water or by
brushing.
Cleaning your Remington® branded
shaver is easy.
■ Open the hair
pocket by
pressing the
release button
and rotating it
away from the
body of the shaver. You may blow
out the stubble thoroughly, or rinse
the shaver head in water. Rinse
both sides of the head assembly.
■ At Least Once a Week:
For more complete
cleaning, remove
the cutter retainer
assembly from
the hair pocket
by turning the
center knob
approximately 1/4 turn counter
clockwise. Hold cutter retainer
assembly as shown, and remove
head by turning approximately 1/8
turn in the direction shown. Brush
clean both the head and the cutter.
Reassemble head
to cutter retainer
assembly by align-
ing and turning
head 1/8 turn
in the opposite
direction, mak-
ing sure that the
head is locked
in place. Repeat
this process for each of the 3 heads.
Clean each head and cutter set one
at a time to prevent mixing cutter
components. (These should be kept
as sets). After cleaning, place cutter
retainer assembly in the hair pocket,
and secure by turning center knob
approximately 1/4 turn clockwise.
Caution: Never put the shaver com-
pletely under water. Do not use any
aggressive cleansing agent as this
may destroy the shaver coatings.
■
To clean and lubricate your shaver’s
cutters and head assembly, apply
Remington® Shaver Saver®
(SP-4) Lubricant. The lubricant
helps remove hair clippings while
reducing wear. A quick spray after
each shave keeps your shaver
operating at peak performance.
Caution: Do not remove or replace
the head assembly while shaver is
running or plugged into an electrical
outlet as it may cause damage to the
unit’s cutters. The shaver shall not be
used until it has dried.
■ Worn or damaged parts should
be replaced with Remington®
branded replacement parts only.

safety instruction section in front
of the manual.

Charging

Prior to using your shaver for the first
time, put it on charge for 24 hours.
To charge your shaver:
■ Make sure your shaver is turned
off.
■ Connect the cord to the shaver and
then the charging adapter to the
electric outlet. A charging indicator
light will come on.
■ Your shaver cannot be
overcharged, so you can leave it
plugged in and charging between
shaves.
■ Use only the charging adapter
supplied with the shaver.
■ Special feature allows you to run
the shaver directly off the cord.
Your shaver will not recharge while
you are shaving, so after shaving
directly from the cord, turn the unit
off and set aside to charge.
■ Provides up to two weeks worth of
shaving after a one hour charge or
a single shave after five minutes
of charging.
NOTE: It may take up to 3 charge
cycles for the battery to reach full
capacity.

Model R-510

A blue indicator light shows charg-
ing. A red low-battery indicator
illuminates to show when the shaver
needs recharging. This also indicates
approximately 5 minutes of shaving
time left when indicator first comes
on.

Model R-520

A blue lighted fuel gauge displays
the amount of charge remaining in
20% increments. When only 20% of
the charge remains, the recharge red
warning light illuminates.

Troubleshooting:

■ If your R-510/520 shaver battery
is completely discharged or the
shaver has not been used for an
extended period of time, the shaver
may not start when operated
using the cord. If this condition
occurs, charge the shaver for
approximately five minutes before
shaving.
■ Your cord/cordless shaver should
not be used strictly as a cord-
operated shaver, as continued cord
only use will result in reduction of
battery life.
■ In order to preserve the life of
the batteries, they should be fully
discharged every six months and
then fully charged for 24 hours.
