Remington® shavers need no adjustments
to their heads or cutters before you shave.
The heads will automatically adjust to the
contours of your face.It is not necessary to
apply pressure while shaving,just let the
shaver glide lightly on your skin.This gentle
touch makes shaving easier and helps
avoid possible skin irritation.
■
Slide the ON / OFFbutton to the OFF
position.
■ Connect the cord to the shaver and
then to the electrical outlet.The
Charging Indicator light will glow green,
indicating your shaver is charging.
■ Your shaver cannot be overcharged,
so you can leave it plugged in and
charging between shaves.
■ Hold the shaver so
all the heads touch
your face 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.

as shown in the illustration. To conserve
battery energy (on rechargeable shavers
only),it is recommended to use the trim-
mer only when needed for trimming.When
through using,push the trimmer button
downward to lock into the OFF position.
As with every shaver, your shave will
improve over time.So allow about three
weeks to develop an effective shaving style
and for your beard 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.
■ Use only the supplied cord.
■ The R-846 is designed for cordless
operation only. Plugging in the cord will
not provide the power to shave.

it easier for them
to enter the cutting chamber.
■ Always use a clean,dry shaver. Make
sure that the cutter head assembly is in
the locked position.
Once fully charged,your shaver will run up
to 40 minutes without a cord.
■ Never press hard.
Pressing only flat-
tens your whiskers,

harder for them to

also wear out the
cutting surface more quickly.
■ Wait at least 15 minutes
Corded Operation
after getting up before
shaving,to ensure your
face is free of puffiness
that may be present
from sleeping.
The R-950/960/970 have a corded operation
feature that allows you to run the shaver
directly off the cord in cases when batteries
are low. Simply connect the cord to the
shaver and then to an electrical outlet. Turn
the shaver on and proceed to shave.
Note: Your shaver will not recharge during
corded operation,so after shaving,turn the
shaver off and leave it plugged in so it can
be recharged.

the shaver head and keep the trimmer in

■ Make sure your face is
clean and dry before
starting.
For an even better shave…
Remington® Pre-Shave Powder Stick (SP-
5) or the Pre-Shave Lotion with Aloe (SP-6)
can help maximize your shaver’s perform-
ance.Just rub either product over your
beard.Both absorb moisture and facial oils,
helping set up the hairs so they enter the
cutting chamber more easily. They make
shaving quicker and more comfortable.
