• Ensure the product is switched off.

The charging LED light will display on the clipper.
• If the product is not going to be used for an extended period time (2-3
months), unplug it from the mains and store.
• Fully recharge your hair clipper when you would like to use it again.
• It is not recommended to use this hair clipper directly from the power
outlet when it has been fully charged, however, while using the hair
clipper in cordless mode, if there is a noticeable drop in power, you
can use the hair clipper directly from the power outlet.
• To preserve the life of your batteries, let them run out every six months
then recharge for 16 hours.

Corded Use
• Connect the charging adaptor to the product and then to the mains.
• When the cord is connected to the mains, a charging LED light is
displayed on the hair clipper.
Caution: Extended mains (corded) only use will result in the reduction of
the battery life.
HOW TO USE
Before Starting to Cut
1. Inspect the hair clipper making sure that it is free from hair and dirt.
2. Ensure that the hair is thoroughly dry and tangle free.
3. The blades on your hair clipper should be oiled before every haircut.
Lubricating the Hair Clipper Blades
Simply place a few drops of oil on the teeth of the blades. Use only the light
grade oil supplied or a suitable alternative like sewing machine oil. Only this
type of oil is suitable due to the high oscillation speed of the blades on your
Remington hair clipper. Do not use hair oil, grease or any oil mixed with
kerosene or any solvent as the solvent will evaporate and leave the thick oil,
slowing the blades.
If oil is not applied to the blades or only a small amount of oil is applied,
this may cause cutting problems. Blades will wear prematurely and not cut
properly if they are not sufficiently lubricated. There may also be a pulling
sensation on the hair.
Instructions for Hair Cutting
Note: For even cutting, allow the trimmer comb/blade to cut its way through
the hair. Do not force it through quickly. If you are cutting for the first time,
start with the maximum length trimmer comb, until you know how short
you would like your hair to be.
Note: The comb guide lengths described for use in the steps below are an
example only, if you want a longer or shorter hair cut you will need to adjust
the comb guide lengths to suit your requirements.

Step 1 - Nape of the Neck
1. Use 3mm or 6mm setting.
2. Hold the hair 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 hair clipper, working upwards and outwards through the
hair, trimming just a little at a time.
Step 2 - Back and Side of the Head
With the 9mm or 12mm setting in place, cut the hair at the back of the
head.
Step 3 - Side of the Head
With the 9mm or 12mm setting in place, trim sideburns.
Step 4 - Top of the Head
1. With the setting of your choice, cut the hair on top of the head against
the direction in which the hair normally grows.
2. For longer hair on top, use scissors. Lift the hair on top of the head
with styling comb. Cut over the styling comb with the hair lifted or hold
the hair between the fingers to lift it and cut it to the desired length.
3. Always work from the back of the head.

8
Step 5 - The Finishing Touches
1. Use the hair clipper without an attachment comb for close trimming
around the base and sides of the neck.
2. To produce a clean straight line at the sideburns, reverse the hair
clipper. Place the reversed hair clipper at right angles to the head, tips
of the blades lightly touching the skin and then work downwards.
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
To ensure long lasting performance of your hair clipper, clean the blades
and unit regularly.
Note: Ensure that the hair clipper is turned off and unplugged when
cleaning.
After Each Use
1. Ensure the hair clipper is switched off and disconnected from the
mains household power outlet.
2. Brush the accumulated hair from the blades. Do not submerge the hair
clipper in water.
3. To clean the body of the unit, wipe with a damp cloth and dry
immediately.
4. Gently brush the remaining hairs away from the hair clipper comb and
hair clipper blade. Do not rinse the cutter assembly under water.
Every Six Months
At regular intervals the blade set should be removed and cleaned.
1. Ensure that the hair clipper is empty of power, is switched off and
disconnected from the mains household power outlet.
2. Remove the comb attachment.
3. Hold the hair clipper in one hand so that the blades are at the top, and
the front of the hair clipper is facing you.
4. Place your thumb of the opposite hand underneath the blades at the
front of the unit, hold the back of the blade set with your fore finger
and middle finger and firmly press upwards with your thumb. The
blade set will detach from the hair clipper.
5. Brush the accumulated hair from the hair pocket and blades.

9
6. Replace the blade set by inserting the notch (on the inside at the
bottom of the blade set) into the groove of the hair pocket and firmly
push down with the palm of your hand until you hear an audible ‘click’
and the blade set is locked into place.
Storage
When not in use, unplug the hair clipper and store it out of reach of children
in a safe dry place. Never wrap the cord around the hair clipper as this will
cause the cord to wear prematurely and break. Handle the cord carefully
for long life and avoid jerking, twisting or straining especially at the plug
connections.
