Worldwide Voltage
■ You can take your shaver with
you when you travel to just about
anywhere in the world. Your shaver
features worldwide automatic
voltage conversion providing AC
current between 100-240 volts
AC, 50-60 Hz. Just plug it in to
the local outlet (you may need
an adapter plug) and use as
usual. Your shaver will convert
automatically to the local
current requirements.
Power System
■ Cord/Cordless shavers can be used
with or without the cord. They do
not recharge during use, however,
frequent corded use will result in
reduction of battery life.
Congratulations on your purchase of a premium Remington® shaver.
The R5 Titanium Series has Revolutionary Titanium Shaving Technology.

To Trim
To use the locking
pop-up trimmer,
simply push the trimmer button up. The
trimmer will pop-up for use. Hold the
shaver as shown in the
illustration. To conserve battery
energy, it is recommended to use the
trimmer only when needed for trimming. When done, 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 comb-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.

How To Use
To Shave
Push the on/off button to activate
the shaver.
The shaver needs
no adjustments to
the heads or cutters
before you shave. The
floating heads will
automatically adjust
to the contours of
your face. It is not
necessary to apply
pressure while shaving…let the shaver
glide lightly on your
skin. This gentle touch makes shaving easier and helps avoid possible
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.
Getting a Close, Comfortable
Shave
The Best Technique
It’s simple to get a great shave from
your new shaver. Here are a few
tips for getting the closest shave
possible:
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 the face is
free of puffiness that
may be present from
sleeping.
Make sure your face
is clean and dry
before
starting.

■ Always keep the protective head
guard on the cutter head and keep
the trimmer in the “off”position
when the shaver is not in use. The
head guard must be put on with
the rear tab to the back of the
shaver.
For a Better Shave
To help maximize your shaver's
performance, consider using the
Remington® Pre-Shave Powder
Stick (SP-5). Just rub over your
beard. It absorbs moisture and facial
oils, helping set up the hairs so they
enter the cutting chamber more
easily. It makes shaving quicker and
more comfortable.
A shaving
appliance is a
washable shaver,
the hand-held
part of which
may be cleaned
under water.

Cleaning your shaver
TO ASSURE OPTIMAL
PERFORMANCE, IT IS
RECOMMENDED THAT YOU CLEAN
YOUR SHAVER AFTER EACH USE.
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 it
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, making sure that the
head is locked
in place. 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 & Maintenance
Usage Tips
8
Before using read the important
safety instruction section in front
of the manual.
Charging
Prior to using your shaver for the first
time, put it on charge for 24 hours.
To charge your shaver:
■ Make sure your shaver is turned
off.
■ Connect the cord to the shaver and
then the charging adapter to the
electric outlet. A charging indicator
light will come on.
■ Your shaver cannot be
overcharged, so you can leave it
plugged in and charging between
shaves.
■ Use only the charging adapter
supplied with the shaver.
■ Special feature allows you to run
the shaver directly off the cord.
Your shaver will not recharge while
you are shaving, so after shaving
directly from the cord, turn the unit
off and set aside to charge.
■ Provides up to two weeks worth of
shaving after a one hour charge or
a single shave after five minutes
of charging.
NOTE: It may take up to 3 charge
cycles for the battery to reach full
capacity.
Model R-510
A blue indicator light shows charging. A red low-battery indicator
illuminates to show when the shaver
needs recharging. This also indicates
approximately 5 minutes of shaving
time left when indicator first comes
on.
Model R-520
A blue lighted fuel gauge displays
the amount of charge remaining in
20% increments. When only 20% of
the charge remains, the recharge red
warning light illuminates.
Troubleshooting:
■ If your R-510/520 shaver battery
is completely discharged or the
shaver has not been used for an
extended period of time, the shaver
may not start when operated
using the cord. If this condition
occurs, charge the shaver for
approximately five minutes before
shaving.
■ Your cord/cordless shaver should
not be used strictly as a cordoperated shaver, as continued cord
only use will result in reduction of
battery life.
■ In order to preserve the life of
the batteries, they should be fully
discharged every six months and
then fully charged for 24 hours.

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 there may be
some skin irritation. This would be especially noticed
when applying shave lotion.
Pulling
When the cutters wear you may feel a sense of pull-
ing 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 this shaver is model #SP-27.
