User Maintenance
The hand-held unit shall be detached
from the power supply cord before
cleaning. The shaver shall not be
used until it has dried.
Replacing Cutters and Screens
To prevent inadvertent damage to the
cutters and screens, do not attempt
to remove them from the head
assembly unless you are replac-
ing 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 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 tech-
nique 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
thecutters have worn through the
screens.
The shaver is
a washable
shaver, the
hand-held part
of which may
be cleaned
under water.
The replacement part for this shaver
is model SP-100 (screens) and SP-
101 (screens and cutters).

Cleaning your shaver:
TO ASSURE SMOOTH, EFFICIENT
PERFORMANCE, IT IS IMPORTANT TO
CLEAN YOUR SHAVER. Cleaning your
shaver is easy.
■
After each shave, remove the
shaver head by squeezing on both
release buttons and pulling up
from the body of the shaver. Blow
out the stubble thoroughly.
Important:
Never clean the foil with
the enclosed brush because damage
may occur to the holes in the foil.
■
At least once a week, the cutters
and the trimmer should be cleaned
with the cleaning brush.
Attention:
Never put the shaver
completely into water. Do not use an
aggressive cleansing agent as this
may destroy the shaver coatings.
■
Daily cleaning of the cutting
system is recommended to ensure
optimum shaving performance. To
clean and lubricate your shaver's
cutters and head assembly,
apply Remington
®
Shaver Saver
®
Lubricant (SP-4). 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 as it may cause damage to
the unit's foils or cutters.
■
Worn or damaged parts should
be replaced with Remington
®
replacement parts only.
Trimmer Care
The trimmer on your shaver is easy
to maintain.
■
To clean the trimmer, you must first
turn the shaver off, and extend the
trimmer to its maximum height
(trimmer setting #3). Then, just
brush off any clippings that may
accumulate around the trimmer
assembly. Using the supplied brush
will enable you to get into the
area between the trimmer and the
shaver.
■
Every six months, lubricate the
trimmer by applying a drop of light
machine oil one-third and two-
thirds of the way along the blade.
Using your finger tip, spread the
oil along the teeth, and run the
trimmer for a few seconds.
