INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
BEFORE STARTING THE CUT
• Inspect the clipper making sure that it is free from hair and dirt.
• Seat the person so that their head is approximately at your eye level.
• Before cutting, always comb the hair so it is tangle free and dry.
TO ATTACH A COMB
1. Hold the comb with its teeth upward.
2. Slide it onto and along the clipper blade until the front of the comb rmly sits
against the clipper blade.
3. Gently push the back of the comb down so it snaps into place.
TO REMOVE THE COMB
• Holding the clipper with the blades facing away from you rmly push the comb on
the back tab upward and away from the blades.
• Each comb attachment is marked accordingly on its outside middle surface.
• (3mm, 7mm, 9mm, 12mm, 18mm, 25mm, left and right ear guide).
• Replacement combs available. Model: SP254
INSTRUCTIONS FOR CUTTING HAIR
• For even cutting, allow the comb attachment/blade to cut its way through the hair.
Do not force it through quickly. If you are cutting for the rst time, start with the
maximum comb attachment.
STEP 1 – NAPE OF THE NECK
1. Use 3mm or 7mm guide comb.
2. Hold the clipper with the blade teeth pointing upwards. Begin starting at the
centre of the head at the base of the neck.
3. Slowly lift the clipper, working upwards and outwards through the hair, trimming
just a little at a time.
STEP 2 – BACK OF THE HEAD
• With the 12mm or 18mm guide comb attached, cut the hair at the back of the head.
STEP 3 – SIDE OF THE HEAD
• With the 3mm or 7mm guide comb attached, trim sideburns. Then change to
the longer 9mm guide comb and continue to cut the top of the head.
STEP 4 – TOP OF THE HEAD
• Use the longer length comb attachment and set it to 18mm or 25mm then cut hair
on top of the head against the direction in which the hair normally grows.
• For longer hair on top, use without a guide comb. Lift the hair on top of the head
with a small hand comb. Cut over the hand comb with the hair lifted or hold the hair
between the ngers to lift it and cut it to the desired length.
• Always work from the back of the head.

6
STEP 5 – THE FINISHING TOUCHES
• Use the clipper without an attachment comb for close trimming around the base
and sides of the neck.
• To produce a clean straight line at the sideburns, reverse the hair clipper.
Place the reversed clipper at right angles to the head, tips of the blades lightly
touching the skin and then work downwards.
SHORT TAPERED STYLES – “FLAT TOPS” & SHORT CUTS
• Starting with the longest guide comb attached (25mm), cut from the back of the
neck to the crown. Hold the guide comb at against the head and slowly move the
clipper through the hair.
• Use the same procedure from the lower side to the upper side of the head.
Then cut the hair against the direction in which it grows and level with the sides.
• To give a “at top” look, the hair on top of the head must be cut over the top of a at
comb.
• Use a closer guide comb to taper the hair down to the neckline as desired.
TAPER LEVER
This product has a taper lever located a the left side of the clipper near the blades. Adjust
the lever to change the closeness of the cut gradually and also to improve the
eectiveness of the comb attachments. The taper lever also extends the life of the blades
because a dierent cutting edge is used in each setting.
TRIMMER
TO DEFINE THE BEARD/MOUSTACHE LINE
• Hold the trimmer with the trimmer blade facing you.
• Start with the edge of the beard/moustache line and gently lower the trimmer
blade onto your skin. Use motions towards edge of beard/moustache line to trim
the desired locations in facial area and away from beard in the neck area.
TRIMMING EDGE OF SIDEBURNS
• Hold the trimmer with the trimmer blade facing you.
• Start with the edge of the sideburn and with the trimmer blades resting lightly
against your skin, use motions towards edge of the sideburn line to trim to the
desired locations in the facial area.
CARE FOR YOUR HAIRCLIPPER
• Your clipper is tted with high quality blades.
• To ensure long lasting performance of your clipper, clean the blades and unit
regularly.
• Always keep the attachment guide comb on the trimmer blade.
Note: Ensure the clipper is turned o when cleaning.

7
EVERY SIX MONTHS
• At regular intervals the blade set should be removed and cleaned.
• Remove the 2 screws retaining the xed blade with a screwdriver. Do not remove
blade set.
• Brush out hairs from between the blades with soft cleaning brush. Do not remove
the lubricating grease from the blades. It is not necessary to remove the small
moving blade from the unit.
• If the moving blade has been removed this can be re-tted by slotting the coated
blade holder over the pin in the centre of the interior product head. The groove on
the coated blade, just below the teeth, rests on a metal plate at the opposite side to
the screw holes. The xed blade is tted with the raised prole pointing outwards
and xed with the 2 screws.
• Before fully tightening the 2 screws, adjust the taper lever to the lower position and
align the blades so that their cutting edges are parallel to one another. Tighten the
2 screws.
• If the blades are not correctly aligned, cutting eciency will be impaired.
• Place a few drops of cutter or sewing machine oil onto the blades. Wipe o excess
oil.
CAUTION:
• Do not use liquid cleaners on the blades or harsh or corrosive chemicals on the
blade casing. Always use a soft brush to remove the accumulated hairs.
• Unplug the charge adaptor from the power outlet when tting or removing
attachments, or while cleaning the product.
• Always store this appliance and cord in a moisture-free area.
• Do not wrap the cord of the charging adaptor around the appliance.
TROUBLESHOOTING
If blades do not seem to cut hair easily, the taper lever can be used to remove any hair
caught between the comb and blade. Switch the clipper on and move the taper lever up
and down a few times but do not force the lever in either direction. This should remove
hairs and restore the cutting eciency.
If not, contact your nearest Remington® Service Centre.
CARE FOR YOUR TRIMMER
• Care for your product to ensure a long lasting performance. We recommend you
clean your trimmer after each use. The easiest and most hygienic way to clean the
trimmer is by rinsing the product head after use with warm water.
• Always keep the clipper in the o position when not in use.
AFTER EACH USE
• Rinse the accumulated hair from the cutters and shake o excess water.
• Wipe the main unit with a damp cloth and dry immediately.

8
CLEANING CAUTIONS
• Cleaning should only be done with a soft brush.
• Do not use harsh or corrosive cleaners on the units or their cutters.
• Do not apply pressure or hard objects to the cutters.
• Do not submerge in water as damage will occur.

substances, appliances and rechargeable and non-rechargeable
