Usage Tips
Grooming
■ Hairs should be dry and free of lotions
when using your groomer.
■ Comb hairs outward so they are at
their maximum height and facing in the
same direction.
■ Make sure the groomer does not have
damaged or broken cutter units, which
could cause injury if used.
Beard (30mm)
What to use: wide trimmer
head + comb attachment
■ Attach the desired hair
length comb to the
groomer head as
described on the
previous page.
■ Set the comb to the desired trim
length. It’s usually a good idea to use
a longer setting until you are familiar
with the groomer, to avoid trimming too
much hair.
■ Turn the groomer on.
■ Start under your chin and, following
your jaw line, trim toward your ear and
upper beard line using an upward
motion. Allow the comb attachment to
follow the contours of your face.
Thinning and tapering (30mm)
What to use: wide trimmer
■ Turn the groomer on.
■ Use a small comb to
hold the beard hairs
in place while
trimming.
■ Holding the groomer
with the cutting unit
facing away from you, move the
groomer along the length of the comb.
Beard line (17mm or 30mm)
What to use: wide trimmer
■ Turn the groomer on.
■ Hold the groomer with the trimmer
cutting blades facing you.
■ Lightly touch the cutting blades to your
face and draw the groomer toward your
beard line. For your neck, draw the
groomer away from desired beard line.
Around the beard
What to use: MiniScreen shaver attachment
■ Turn the groomer on.
■ Use the MiniScreen shaver to shave the
detail areas around the beard.
■ Hold the groomer so the mini screen
gently touches your skin. This allows
the unit to give you the closest shave
with minimum screen wear. Avoid
holding the groomer at an angle. This
will distort the screen and may cause
some skin irritation.
■ Use short controlled strokes to shave
around your beard and mustache while
your free hand stretches your skin. This
encourages your whiskers to stand out,
making it easier for them to enter the
cutting chamber.
■ The MiniScreen attachment was not
designed to shave your entire face. For
a close, comfortable shave, guaranteed,
use a Remington-brand electric shavers.
Ear
Ear canal
What to use: nose/ear trimmer head
■ Turn the groomer on.
■ Gently insert groomer’s cutting unit into
the outer ear canal. For safe trimming,
avoid inserting the groomer more than
1/4 inch into the ear canal.
■ Rotate the groomer in a circular motion,
gently moving it in and out as you rotate.
Outer ear
What to use: nose/ear
trimmer head
■ Turn the groomer on.
■ Carefully guide the
groomer around
surfaces of the ear
where there are unwanted hairs.
Eyebrows
What to use: nose/ear
trimmer head
■ Turn the groomer on.
■ Carefully guide the
cutting edges to the
stray hairs along the
eyebrow line or
protruding from the eyebrow itself.
■ For best results don’t use the groomer
to define the entire eyebrow.
Mustache (17mm or 30mm)
What to use: wide trimmer
■ Use a small comb to straighten hairs for
trimming.
■ Turn the groomer on.
■ Lightly touch the
cutting blades to the
mustache. Too much
pressure may trim
more hair than
desired.
■ Since all hairs do not grow in the same
direction, you may want to try trimming
upwards, downwards, or across.
■ Practice will produce optimum results.
Nape of Neck (17mm or 30mm)
What to use: wide trimmer
■ Use a hand mirror if you are trimming
the nape of your neck yourself. A mirror
is unnecessary if someone else is
trimming it for you.
■ Lift the hair up off the neck, and use
your index finger to cover the roots of
any hair you DON’T want to trim. This
will serve as a bumper to prevent
accidentally trimming too much hair.
■ Turn the groomer on and hold it
base-side up, as shown.
■ Touch the cutting
edges to your neck,
and move the
groomer slowly up
your neck until it
touches the finger that’s
covering the roots of your hair.
Nose
What to use: nose/ear
trimmer head
■ Turn the groomer on.
■ Insert groomer’s cut-
ting unit gently into
the nostril. For safe
trimming, avoid inserting the groomer
more than 1/4 inch into your nostril.
■ Rotate the groomer in a circular motion
around the opening of the nostril, gently
moving it in and out as you rotate.
