Head and Cutter Replacement

It is very important to replace your head and cutters when necessary to ensure a close, comfortable shave without irritation. Remington recommends they be replaced every 12 months. Signs of head and cutter wear indicating 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.

Product Disposal

When your rechargeable shaver reaches the end of its useful life, the batteries must be removed from the shaver and be recycled or disposed of properly 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.

To Remove the Rechargeable Battery:

1. Unplug the shaver.
2. Run shaver until motor stops.
3. Remove head from shaver (Press release button and pull head straight away from shaver body).
4. Using a small screwdriver, pry the front cover from the shaver body.
5. Remove five screws located on the front of the shaver.
6. Remove the rear cover from the inner housing to expose batteries.
7. Pry batteries free from the circuit board and cut wires.
8. Dispose of batteries.

This device uses the following types of rechargeable batteries: nickel metal hydride (NiMH).

Disposal/Recycling

Legislation in some localities mandates that e-waste (anything with a plug, battery or cord) is disposed of through controlled recycling facilities and must not be disposed of in general household waste.
