• Before using your groomer for the first time, charge it for 4 hours. The groomer will be fully charged in 4 hours. Note during this charge ignore the electronic indicators as they are in “start-up cycle”.

• Plug the adaptor into your groomer and then plug the charging adaptor unit into a 220-240 volt domestic power outlet. Check to ensure that the groomer On/Off switch is OFF. The Charging Indicator Light will illuminate to indicate that it is charging. When the battery is full the Charging Indicator will remain illuminated until disconnected from the power outlet.

• The batteries cannot be overcharged, but it is recommend that charging be discontinued and the groomer stored away if it will not be used for an extended period of time (2-3 months).

• To preserve the life of the batteries, discharge them by running the groomer until the blades move slowly. Switch off and recharge for 4 hours. Do this every 6 months.

• Use the groomer only with the charging adaptor supplied.

• The trimmer attachments are removed by rotating anticlockwise and lifting off.

• Insert the required attachment and rotate clockwise to lock into position.

• The Adjustable Beard Comb attachment has 8 Length settings: 2-16mm (in increments of 2mm). Begin with a higher numbered setting. Adjust cutting length as desired once you are familiar with using the groomer, it is better to select a longer hair length setting in order not to trim too much hair.

• Hair should be dry and free of lotions or other liquids.

• Comb outward to obtain maximum height / length and facing in the same direction.

• Use a small comb to straighten hairs for trimming.

• When TRIMMING, first select the Beard Trimmer Attachment. Starting under the chin, follow the jaw line back toward ear. Trim in multiple directions to capture all stray hairs.

• When THINNING or TAPERING, use a small comb to hold beard in place. In your opposite hand, hold the Groomer with the cutting system facing outward while slowly moving the trimmer along the length of the comb. The Adjustable Beard Comb Attachment can also be used to achieve the desired look.

• Use the Foil Shaver attachment to clean-up detailed areas. For best results, avoid holding at an angle.

NOTE: The foil shaver is designed to shave the detailed areas around your beard, moustache and sideburns. It is not designed to shave your entire face.

• When trimming inner ears, avoid inserting the groomer more than 1/4” into ear canal.

• Rotate the groomer in a circular motion while gently moving in and out of ear canal.

• Guide cutting edges to stray hairs along eyebrows.

• For best results, do not use the trimmer to define entire eyebrow.

• Using a hand-held mirror is necessary if self-trimming.

• Lift hair off neck, using index finger to cover & protect hairs NOT needing trimming.

• Carefully touch cutting blade to neck, slowly moving the groomer in an upward direction until stopped by index finger.

• Carefully insert groomer no more than 1/4” into nostril.

• Rotate the groomer in a circular motion while gently moving in and out of nose.

• The Body Trimmer is designed to quickly trim hair over large areas such as the chest and back. The Body Comb can be used in any of the three length settings (3, 6, 9mm) by sliding the comb in the grooves on the trimmer. Alternatively the comb can be removed for a close trim.

NOTE: Use slow light pressure. Too much pressure may trim off more hair than desired.

1. Remove attachment.

2. Rinse ONLY the attachment under warm running water. Do NOT use hot water as this might cause damage.

NOTE: Do not rinse the foil shaver.

• After first removing attachment, thoroughly brush and blow out hair clippings from cutting system, attachment, and top of groomer handle.

NOTE: Do not rinse or lubricate the foil shaver with oil, as it is permanently lubricated.

1. Remove attachment by pressing security latches on front of foil shaver.

2. Remove head, shake to remove excess clippings.

3. Replace attachment by gently snapping into place.

• Rinsing attachments under water (above) requires lubricating the cutting blades 1x monthly. Using only light-grade oils (e.g. sewing machine oil), simply spread 1-2 drops lightly over cutters with fingertip. Wipe away all excess.

• Use only light-grade oils as these will not evaporate nor slow down speed of cutting blades.

• Do not use hair oil, grease, or any oil mixed with kerosene nor solvent as these too will evaporate.

NOTE: Do not lubricate the foil shaver with oil, as it is permanently lubricated.

The cutting unit may be dirty or clogged. Clean and lubricate the groomer as described previously.

The groomer might simply need charging. Follow instructions for charging as described previously. Should charging prove unsuccessful, contact the REMINGTON SERVICE HOTLINE for assistance.

Fully discharge the groomer by running until it completely stops. Next, follow recharging instructions described previously. If time between recharging cycles fails to increase, the battery might require replacement. Contact the REMINGTON SERVICE HOTLINE for assistance.

NOTE: The battery is not intended to be removed or replaced under normal use. The only time the battery should be removed or the unit opened or disassembled, is at the end of the product’s useful life before it is discarded.

The PG526AU contains a lithium-ion battery. Once the trimmer has reached the end of its life, to ensure proper disposal of the product, please take the appliance to a recycling centre, where the internal rechargeable battery should be removed by a professional and recycled separately.

For more information about recycling of electrical and battery operated appliances, please contact your local council office or your household waste disposal service.

CAUTION! Do not put in the fire or mutilate your batteries when disposing as they may burst and release toxic materials. Do not short circuit as it may cause burns.
