INSTRUCTIONS FOR CHARGING
Always ensure that your hands, trimmer and charge stand are dry before charging.
Before using your REMINGTON® shaver for the first time, charge for 24 hours. For subsequent uses, charge 24 hours before use. The charging indicator light on your charge stand will light up to indicate that your shaver is charging. One full charge allows 30 mins. of cordless usage time.
Use product until the battery is low. This is indicated by the shaver running distinctly slower.
Your shaver cannot be overcharged, however, if the product is not going to be used for an extended time period (2–3 months), unplug it from the outlet and store. Fully recharge your shaver when you would like to use it again.
To preserve the life of your batteries, let them run out every six months then recharge for 20 hours.
CHARGING CAUTIONS
- Do not attach the power adaptor to the outlet with wet hands.
- Always charge the shaver in a cool, dry place.
- Do not charge the shaver in close proximity to water.

REPLACING THE FOILS AND CUTTERS
Signs that your foils and cutters need replacing:
- Irritation: As foils get worn, you may experience skin irritation.
- Pulling: As the cutters wear, your shave may not feel as close and you may feel your cutter pulling on your hair.
- Wear: You may notice that the cutters have worn through the foils.
To ensure the continued highest quality performance from your shaver, we recommend that foils and cutters are replaced every 6 months.
NOTE: The replacement part for your shaver model is SPW-530NA.
