How to Use
R e m oving the Headguard
Before operating your
shaver, remove the head-
guard,which protects the
screen and cutter assem-
bly. Simply push up from
the front or the back until
it pops off.
!
Always keep the protective head guard
on the shaver head and keep the trimmer
in the OFF position when the shaver is out
of the cleaning base and not in use.

Operating the Trimmer

Your shaver is
equipped with a 3-
position trimmer. Use
the trimmer push tab
to extend or retract the
trimmer.
1. Completely retracted (down),the trim-
mer is out of the way and off,for when
you want to use the screens alone.
Press the trimmer down with your
thumb to get it into this position.
2. In the middle position,the trimmer
works with the screens,cutting the
longer, hard-to-shave hairs so the
screens can get in extra close.Slide the
trimmer into the position level with the
foils.
3. Fully extended (up),the trimmer can be
used to trim your sideburns and mus-
tache.Slide the trimmer into the top
position,above the foils.

Operating the Pop-up
M i n i - f o i l
Your shaver is equipped with a 2-position
mini-foil.Use the mini-foil push tab to
extend or retract the mini foil.
1. Completely retracted (down),the mini-
foil works with the 2 large screens to
provide a close and comfortable shave.
2. Fully extended (up),the mini-foil can be
used to provide a close shave for small
or difficult-to-reach areas,for a detailed
look.
!
Do NOT retract the mini-foil by pressing
down directly on the screen.This could
permanently damage the screen.

Usage Tips

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 cut-
ters.The lubricant looks like fine,white or
gray powder, and disappears with use.
Before you begin
Wait at least 15 minutes

shaving,to ensure your

face is free of puffiness
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
screens 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.
For an even better shave...
®
Remington
Pre-Shave Powder Stick
(SP-5) or the Pre-Shave Lotion with Aloe
(SP-6) can help maximize your shaver's
performance.Just rub either product over
your beard.Both absorb moisture and facial
oils,helping set up the hairs so they enter
the cutting chamber more easily. They
make shaving quicker and more comfortable.
