•  When charging is complete, the red light will go out and the green light will come on for 5 seconds.

• Always charge the shaver in a cool, dry place.

SHAVING

1. Switch the shaver on by pressing the on/off button
2.  Stretch the skin with your free hand so the hairs stand upright.
3. Only apply light pressure on the shaving head while shaving (pressing too hard can cause skin irritation).
4. Shave face and neck using short, circular strokes.
5.  After shaving, turn the shaver off.

SHAVING TIPS

•  The Remington® X5 Limitless is waterproof. You may use shaving foam or cream 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 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.

SHAVING WITH SHAVING GEL

• Follow the same instructions as dry shaving if using shaving gel.

CAUTION:
After use with shaving gel, please rinse the head and cutters under warm water to clean away any excess gel and debris.
DETAIL TRIMMER ATTACHMENT
To fit the detail trimmer attachment:

1. Switch off your shaver.
2. Pull the head and cutter assembly away from the body of your shaver .
3.  Clip the detail trimmer onto the body of your shaver

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

Note:
When cleaning your shaver, make sure the shaver is turned off and disconnected from the power cord.
Caution:

• When cleaning the external surfaces of the shaver, do not use strong detergents or other chemicals.
• To dry, wipe the surface of the shaver with a dry towel. Do not use a hair dryer or heater to dry the shaver.

ACCESSORY ORDER FORM

CARE FOR YOUR SHAVER

Care for your shaver to ensure a long lasting performance. We recommend you clean your shaver after each use. Ensure your shaver is switched off before cleaning.

1. Open the shaver head by pressing the release button .
2. The head assembly will open .
3.  Rinse under a tap to wash away hair trimmings.
4. Carefully brush away any hairs from the cutters.
5. Snap the head assembly closed.

Note:
The individual cutters are designed to be permanently retained in the shave head and flushed out with water. Do not remove the individual cutters for cleaning.
DETAIL TRIMMER
Lubricate the teeth of the detail trimmer every six months with a drop of sewing machine oil.
REPLACING THE HEAD & CUTTERS
Please refer to the specifications’ table on page 5 of this manual that lists the correct replacement part number for your shaver.
It is very important to replace your head and cutters when necessary to ensure a close, comfortable shave without irritation. We recommend they be replaced every 6 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.

Replacement heads & cutters may be obtained directly from Remington®. Simply fill out the enclosed accessory order form – refer to page 9 & 10, or alternatively your order can be processed over the phone via the Remington® Service Hotline.
REMOVING THE RECHARGEABLE BATTERY
We strongly recommend that a professional removes the rechargeable battery. Parts of the shaver case, and tools have sharp edges and may cause injury if not handled correctly.

•  The rechargeable battery must be removed from the appliance before it is scrapped.
•  Disconnect the charging adapter before removing the battery.

1. Remove the shaver head (pull the head up and off).
2.  Using a small screwdriver, pry the front panel off the handle.
3. Unscrew the 3 screws located on front of shaver.
4. Using a small flat screwdriver, pry the front housing from the body.
5.  Unscrew the 6 screws to open the inner housing.
6. Take out the circuit board.
7. Disconnect the battery from the circuit board.

•  Used batteries must be removed from the appliance and disposed of at an appropriate official recycling/collection point.
• Do not attempt to operate the shaver once you have opened it.

DISPOSAL/RECYCLING
Legislation in some localities mandates that e-waste (anything with a plug, battery or cord) is disposed of through controlled recycling facilities and must not be disposed of in general household waste. For more information about recycling of electrical and battery operated appliances, please contact your local council or your local household waste disposal service.
