5. To preserve the life of the batteries, allow them to fully discharge

Caution:
• Make sure the shaver and your hands are dry when charging the
shaver.
• Always charge the shaver in a cool, dry place.
SHAVING
1. Press power button to turn on. (Diagram D)
2. Shave face and neck using short, circular strokes. (Diagram E)
3. After shaving, turn the shaver off. (Diagram D)
SHAVING TIPS
• The Remington®Style Series R4 is waterproof. You may use shaving
foam or gel with your shaver. You may also shave in the shower.
• Wait at least 15 minutes after getting up before shaving, to ensure
your face is free of puffiness that may be present from sleeping.
• Always hold the shaver at a right angle to the skin so that all three
heads are touching the skin with equal pressure.
• Stretch skin with the free hand so hairs stand upright, making it easier
for them to enter the cutting chamber.
• Use moderate to slow, circular stroking movement.
• The use of short, circular motions in stubborn areas may obtain a
closer shave, especially along the neck and chin line.
• Do not press hard against the skin to avoid skin irritation and/or
damage to the rotary heads.
• As with every shaver, your shave will improve over time. Allow up to
four weeks of daily shaving to develop an effective shaving style and
for your skin to adjust to the new shaver. The adaptation period might
take a little longer if your skin is sensitive, if you are switching from
a different method of shaving, or if you alternate between shaving
methods.

TRIMMING
Pop-up Trimmer:
1. Push trimmer release button to engage trimmer. (Diagram F)
2. Trim long, difficult hairs and side burns.
3. Close trimmer by pressing down. (Diagram G)
Note: Lubricate teeth with oil every 6 months.
Stubble Styler
The Stubble Styler comb is designed to help you maintain a 3-day stubble
look. Please be aware that you cannot shave a full long beard down to
stubble length with the stubble styler.
To achieve the look:
• Clean shave your face initially and then let your beard grow for two or
three days.
• Attach the stubble styler to the cutting head of the shaver.
• Shave your face with slow, rotating motions. The stubble guard will
only trim hairs that are over 1.5 mm in length.
• Shave with the stubble styler at least every two days to maintain the
length and do not allow hairs to get too long.
• Detach the stubble styler if you wish to have a clean shave look on
your neck or other areas of your face where you do not want stubble
showing.
Tips: Faster growing areas of your beard will begin to be trimmed first.
Slower growing areas of your beard will fill in over a period of a few days or
weeks.
