Usage Tips & Maintenance
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 adap-
tation 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 cutters. The lubricant
looks like fine, white or gray powder,
and disappears with use.
Before you begin

up before 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 but-
ton. 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 encour-
ages your whiskers
to stand out, making
it easier for them
to enter the cutting
chamber.
Never press hard. Pressing only flat-
tens your whiskers, making it harder
for them to enter the
cutting chamber. It
will also wear out the
cutting surface more
quickly.
The hand-held unit shall be detached
from the power supply cord before
cleaning. The shaver shall not be
used until it has dried.
The shaver is
a washable
shaver, the
hand-held part
of which may be
cleaned under
water.
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 little 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
the cutters have worn through the
screens.
The replacement part for this shaver
is model SP-98 (screens) and SP-99
(screens and cutters).
