■ 

Ensure your skin is free of oils.

■ 

Wait at least 15 minutes after getting up before shaving, to ensure your face is 

free of puffiness that may be present from sleeping.

■ 

Always hold the shaver at a right angle to the skin so that the screens are 

touching the skin with equal pressure.

■ 

Stretch skin with the free hand so hairs stand upright, making it easier for them 

to enter the cutting chamber.

■ 

Use moderate to slow, circular stroking movement. 

■ 

The use of short, circular motions in stubborn areas may obtain a closer shave, 

especially along the neck and chin line.

■ 

Do not press hard against the skin to avoid skin irritation and/or damage to the 

shaver head.

**We recommend that you use your new shaver daily for up to four weeks 

to allow time for your hair and skin to become accustomed to the  

new shaving system**

batteries must be removed from the shaver and be recycled or disposed of prop-

erly in accordance with your state and local requirements. If this is not required 

by law, you may elect to dispose of the shaver with the batteries.

CAUTION!

 Do not put in fire or mutilate your batteries when disposing as they 

may burst and release toxic materials. Do not short circuit as it may cause burns. 

Dispose of properly in accordance with your local and state requirements.

 How To Order Shaver Accessories

Please refer to the shaver comparison and features chart near the front of 

this manual that lists the correct replacement part number for your shaver.

It is very important to replace your head and cutters when necessary to ensure 

a close, comfortable shave without irritation. We recommend they be replaced 

every 6 months. Here are some signs of head and cutter wear, indicating that 

replacement is needed:

■ 

Irritation:

 As the heads get excessively worn you may experience some skin 

irritation. This would be especially noticeable when you apply moisturizing lotion.

■ 

Pulling:

 When the cutters wear you may feel a sense of pulling and a loss of 

closeness when you shave. This is an indication that it is time to replace your 

heads and cutters.

Maintain your shaver’s peak performance! 

Keep Your Shaver Performing Like New!

■ 

Because your satisfaction is important to us, we want to make it simple for you 

to keep your new shaver performing at its peak.

■ 

For the best possible shave, it is necessary to replace the heads and cutters on 

your shaver every 6 months?

■ 

Remington makes this easy!
