Getting a Close,
Comfortable Shave

Remington®brand shavers need no
adjustments to their heads or cutters
before you shave.The heads will
automatically adjust to the contours of
your face. It is not necessary to apply
pressure while shaving, just let the
shaver glide lightly on your skin.This
gentle touch makes shaving easier and
helps avoid possible skin irritation.

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 ada pta tion period may
take a little longer if your skin is sensi­tive, or if you alternate between shaving
methods.

It’s simple to get a great shave from
your new shaver.Here are a few tips:

■ Always use a clean,
dry shaver. Make
sure that the cutter
head assembly is in
the locked position.

■ Wait at least 15
minutes after getting
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.

To shave

■ Push the ON/OFF
button to activate
the shaver for
shaving.

■ Hold the shaver so
all the heads touch
your face together.
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 head touches the skin.
This could cause skin irritation.

■ Use short,circular
strokes. Use your
free hand to stretch
your skin.This
encourages your
whiskers to stand
out, making it
easier for them to
enter the cutting chamber.

■ Never press hard.Pressing only
flattens your whiskers, which
makes it harder for them to enter
the cutting chamber.It will also
wear out the cutting surface
more quickly.

To trim

To use the Easy­View™pop-up
trimmer,simply
push the trimmer
button up.The
trimmer will pop up
for ready use. Hold the shaver as
shown in the illustration.To conserve
battery energy (on rechargeable
shavers only), it is recommended to
use the trimmer only when needed for
trimming.When through using, push
the trimmer button downward to lock
into the OFF position.

NOTE: It is important to always
use the button to close the trimmer
to avoid damaging the locking
mechanism.

Trim sideburns

Simply touch the
edge of the trimmer
to the desired line
for neat, clean
sideburns.

Trim mustache

Hold shaver at
desired trim line
for a quick, easy,
professional trim.
The trimmer can
also be used to trim
the upper edge
of your mustache.

! Always keep the protective head
guard on the shaver head and keep
the trimmer in the OFF position when
the shaver is not in use.

Before using read the important
safety instruction section in front
of the manual.

To Charge

Before using your shaver for the first
time, charge it for 24 hours.

■

Slide the ON/OFF button to the OFF
position.

■ Connect the cord to the shaver
and then to the electrical outlet.
The Charging Indicator light will
glow green, indicating your
shaver is charging.

■ Your shaver cannot be over­charged, so you can leave
it plugged in and charging
between shaves.

■ Use only the supplied cord.

The R-600 & R-650 fully recharges in
24 hours.

Once fully charged, your shaver will
run up to 60 minutes without a cord.
The R-650 has corded & cord free use.

NOTE: It may take up to 3 cycles of full
charge and discharge to maximize
battery capacity.

Cleaning and Maintenance

When is it Time to Replace
Your Heads and Cutters?

It is very important to replace your

heads and cutters when necessary
to ensure a close,comfortable shave
without irritation.We recommend
they be replaced every 12 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 after-shave 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.

The replacement part for models
R-600 & R-650 is model #SP-27.

U.S. residents: To order, contact
us at 800-231-8793, visit us at

www.remington-products.com

or visit your local retailer.
Canadian residents: For any shaver

accessory requirements, please
call

800-268-0425 or

visit us at

www.remington-products.com

Repeat this process
for each of the 3
heads. Clean each
head and cutter set
one at a time to
prevent mixing
cutter components.
(These should be
kept as sets).After
cleaning,place
cutter retainer
assembly in the hair pocket, and
secure by turning center knob
approximately 1/4 turn clockwise.

Caution: Never put the shaver
completely under water.Do not use
any aggressive cleansing agent as
this may destroy the shaver coatings.

■ To clean and lubricate your
shaver’s cutters and head
assembly,apply Remington

®

Shaver Saver®(SP-4) Lubricant.
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 or plugged into an electrical
outlet as it may cause damage to the
unit’s cutters.The shaver shall not be
used until it has dried.

■ Worn or damaged parts should be
replaced with Remington®branded
replacement parts only.

Cleaning your shaver

TO ASSURE OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE,
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT YOU CLEAN
YOUR SHAVER AFTER EACH USE.

Before cleaning,detach the handheld
unit from the power supply cord before
cleaning.The cutting system of this

shaver was designed to be cleaned by
rinsing under warm running water or
by brushing.

Cleaning your
Remington®branded
shaver is easy.

■ Open the hair
pocket by pressing
the release button
and rotating away from the body of
the shaver.You may blow out the
stubble thoroughly,or rinse the shaver
head in water.Rinse both sides of the
head assembly.

■At Least Once a

Week:

For more complete
cleaning,remove the
cutter retainer
assembly from the
hair pocket by turning the center knob
approximately 1/4 turn counter clock­wise.Hold cutter retainer assembly as
shown, and remove head by turning
approximately 1/8 turn in the direction
shown. Brush clean both the head
and the cutter.Reassemble head to
cutter retainer assembly by aligning
and turning head 1/8 turn in the
opposite direction.
