Replace head assembly on the shaver
simply by pushing it onto the shaver.
Cover shaver head with plastic headguard
between uses.When removing the headguard
or placing it back onto the shaver,do not
apply pressure to floating cutter surfaces,
as you may damage them.
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 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.

Usage Tips
Getting a close,
comfortable shave
Remington®shavers need no adjustments
to their heads or cutters before you shave.
The heads will automatically adjust to the
contours of your leg.
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 legs to adjust to the
new shaver.The adaptation period may
take a little longer if your skin is sensitive,
or if you alternate between shaving
methods.
Before you begin:
■ Make sure your legs are clean before
starting.
■ Al ways use a clean shaver.
To Shave
■ Slide the ON/OFF button up to activate
the shaver for shaving.
■ Hold the shaver so all the heads touch
your
leg 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.You can use
your free hand to stretch your skin.
This encourages your hair to stand out,
making it easier for them to enter the
cutting chamber.
■ It is not necessary to apply pressure
while shaving, just let the shaver glide
lightly on your skin. Never press hard.
Pressing only flattens your hairs, which
makes it harder for them to enter the
cutting chamber.It will also wear out
the cutting surface more quickly.A
gentle
touch makes shaving
easier
and helps avoid possible skin irritation.
Using Shaver with Soap or Foam Lather
When using soap or foam lather,the shaver
will glide smoothly over the skin, cleaning
away oil residue while at the same time
leaving skin soft and smooth.
Apply the soap or foam generously to the
skin. Do not use skin lotion, nourishing
cream, or sha ving cream of the non-lathering type. Sha ver should be cleaned after
using soap or foam.
Caution:
Not recommended use on head,
underarms or any other parts of the body.
The replacement parts for your shaver is
model SP-25.
