CHARGING YOUR APPLIANCE

This appliance can be used “cordless” by powering it from its internal rechargeable battery, or “corded” by connecting it to the charging adaptor and then the mains power supply. Powering the appliance from the charging adaptor is useful if the rechargeable battery does not have enough charge. Be aware, however, that frequent use of the cordless mode will reduce the life of the rechargeable battery.

Before using your trimmer for the first time, chargeit for 10 hours.

1. Ensure the product is switched off.
2. Connect the charging adaptor to the product and then to the mains.
   • When charging, the charge indicator light will light up. The light will go out when charging is complete.
   • Run time from a fully charged battery is up to 60 minutes.
   • Your trimmer cannot be overcharged. However, if it is not going to be used for an extended period of time (2-3 months), unplug it from the mains and store.
   • To preserve the life of your batteries, let them run out every 6 months, then recharge for 10 hours.

CORDED USE

• Connect the charging adaptor to the product and then to the mains.
• Switch the product on by pressing the on/off switch.

ATTACHMENTS

TO FIT AND REMOVE ATTACHMENTS (FIG. A)
Ensure that the device is switched off before fitting or removing attachments.

• To remove, rotate the attachment anti-clockwise until it unlocks and then lift it off.
• To fit, place the desired attachment on top of the device and rotate the attachment clockwise to lock it into place.

FITTING AND REMOVING FIXED GUIDE COMBS 

To Fit

• Hook the front of the guide comb over the teeth of the wide trimmer.
• Press the back of the guide comb down until it clicks into place.

To Remove

• Lift the tab on the back of the guide comb upwards until it comes free from the wide trimmer head.

FITTING AND REMOVING THE ADJUSTABLE COMB 

• To fit, line up the rails on the comb with the slots on the sides of the groomer and slide the comb downwards onto the groomer.
• To adjust, press and hold the adjustment button on the back of the comb and slide the comb up or down. Release the button to lock the comb at that position. The length of the cut is indicated by the scale on the side of the trimmer.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

• Comb facial hair with a fine comb before you start trimming.
• Comb your hair in the direction that it grows so that the hairs are at their maximum height and facing in the same direction.
• After trimming, lightly go over the trimmed areas with the foil to get a smooth, clear finish.
• Since all hairs do not grow in the same direction, you may want to try different trimming positions (i.e. upwards, downwards or across) for better results.
• Hair should be dry and free from any waxes or lotions.
• If hair builds up during use, switch the unit off, remove any attachment in use and clean any excess hair clippings from the attachment and groomer.

Close hair cutting:

2. Your index finger should be covering the roots of the hairs you are lifting to prevent them from being accidentally cut.
3. Hold the trimmer to the base of your neck with the blade facing up. Move the trimmer up the neck until it touches your index finger,ge,r which is protecting the hair roots.

Micro stubble:
The attachment has Trim Shave Technology, which trims hair down to 0.2 mm to leave a micro stubble finish.

1. Fit the precision trimmer.
2. Hold the attachment so that the guide on the lower edge of the blade contacts the skin (in a the same way you as you would hold a wet razor). The guide on the lower edge of the blade helps to stretch the skin during trimming.
3. Use motions similar to wet shaving.

Precision trimming:

1. Hold the precision trimmer attachment perpendicular to the skin.
2. Move it towards or away from the beard hair to achieve the desired result. Use gentle pressure and controlled movements.

CLEAN SHAVEN EDGING

Attachments

• Mini Foil Shaver
  1. Hold the groomer so the mini foil shaver gently touches your face. 
  2. Use short, well-controlled movements to shave around your beard moustache. Use your free hand to stretch your skin. This encourages the hair to stand upright, making it easier to shave. 
• Note: The mini foil shaver was designed to shave the detail areas around your beard/moustache/sideburns. It was not designed to shave your entire face. For a close , comfortable shave, guaranteed, use one of Remington’s electric shavers.

CARE FOR YOUR GROOMER

• Care for your product to ensure a long-lasting performance. We recommend that you clean your groomer after each use.

AFTER EACH USE

• Brush any accumulated hair from the groomer and attachment heads.
• The easiest and most hygienic way to clean the groomer is by detaching the head from the ggroomer'sbody and rinsing the head with warm water.
• The groomer's body should not be rinsed.
• Place one or two drops of cutter oil or sewing machine oil on the blades.
• Turn the clipper on to distribute the oil evenly, and wipe off any excess oil.

Common Troubleshooting 

It won’t power on

• Make sure it’s fully charged — the PG4000 can run up to ~60 min after a full ~10 hr charge.
• Check the charging cable/adapter: if it’s damaged, the trimmer may not charge or turn on.
• Ensure the power button is pressed firmly — sometimes the switch won’t engage if pressed lightly.

Blades don’t cut properly / pull hair.

• Clean under the blade head after every use. Hair buildup can jam the blades and reduce performance.
• Rinse removable blades under warm running water (since many heads are washable).
• If performance is still poor, remove and re-attach heads to ensure correct mounting.

Attachments don’t click on securely.y

• Some owners report the comb attachments (1.5 mm & 3 mm) wear at the clips, making them hard to snap on/off after repeated use.
• Try aligning the comb carefully before pressing — forcing it when misaligned increases wear.

Short battery life or won’t hold a charge

• The built-in rechargeable battery can degrade over time — after many charge cycles, it might run shorter than ~60 min.
• If battery issues become severe, professional replacement isn’t supported (battery is non-replaceable).

Cleaning & Maintenance tips

• Always use the supplied brush to remove hair from blades after trimming.
• Do not submerge the main body in water — only remove and wash removable heads.
• Only use the original charger supplied with the device.
