CHARGING YOUR APPLIANCE

Before using your trimmer for the first time, charge it for 4 hours.

Ensure the product is switched off.
Connect the charging adaptor to the product and then to the mains.

CHARGING INDICATOR

Remington G5 Graphite Series Personal Groomer PG5000-PRODUCT-B

Run time from a fully charged battery is up to 90 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 4 hours.

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 length and facing in the same direction.
After trimming, lightly go over the trimmed areas with the foil to get a smooth,, clean 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.

ATTACHMENTS

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

Fit the 1.5 mm fixed comb to the wide trimmer attachment.
Run your trimmer through your beard against the direction of hair growth.
Tidy the edges of the stubble using the precision trimmer attachment.
For more control over the length of your stubble, you can use the adjustable comb and trim your stubble down in increments, starting at a longer length setting until you get the desired look.

Body hair maintenance: Trimming to length

Fit the body hair attachment.
Body hair can be trimmed to 3 different lengths (3, 6 and 9 mm). Select the desired length by sliding the comb into one of the three slots on the side of the attachment.
Place the flat side of the attachment against the skin.
Slowly slide the trimmer through the hair in the direction of hair growth.
Use slow, well-controlled movements.

Body hair maintenance: Removal

Remove the comb from the body hair attachment and go over the areas where you want to remove the body hair.

Use light pressure and shave against the direction of hair growth.

Set the adjustable comb to the desired length.
Hold the clipper with the blade teeth pointing upwards. Begin starting at the centre of the head at the base of the neck.
Slowly lift the clipper, working upwards and outwards through the hair, trimming just a little at a time.

Step 2: Back of the head

With the comb set at 12mm or 18mm, cut the hair at the back of the head.

Step 3: Side of the head

Adjust the comb to a shorter length setting for the areas around the ears.
Increase the length setting on the adjustable comb to gradually transition the length of hair on the side of the head to the longer hair on the top of the head.

Step 4: Top of the head

Adjust the comb to the longer length settings (up to 20 mm,), then cut the hair on top of the head against the direction in which the hair normally grows.
Always work from the back of the head.

Contour edging:

Start with the edge of the beard/moustache line and, with the blade resting lightly against the skin, use slow, controlled movements to create contoured lines.

Close hair cutting:

Use the fingers of one hand to lift the hair at the base of your head up off your neck.
Your index finger should be covering the roots of the hairs you are lifting to prevent them from being accidentally cut.
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, which is protecting the hair roots.
Move your trimmer slowly and keep the hair roots at the base of your head out of the way of the trimmer.

The attachment has Trim Shave Technology,y which trims hair down to 0.2 mm to leave a micro stubble finish.
Fit the precision trimmer.
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.
Use motions similar to wet shaving.

Precision trimming:

Hold the precision trimmer attachment perpendicular to the skin.
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

Hold the groomer so the mini foil shaver gently touches your face.
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 groomer's body and rinsing the head with warm water.
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.

BATTERY REMOVAL

We strongly recommend that a professional remove 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.
Ensure that the battery is fully discharged. To do this, operate the shaver until it stops.
Unplug the trimmer.
Using a suitable tool, carefully pry apart the front and rear halves of the case at the joint line.
Remove the two screws that hold the transparent inner case to the back half of the outer case.
Lift out the inner case.
Pull the black motor holder off the transparent case.
Slide the circuit board and battery out of the transparent inner case.
Cut the tabs holding the battery to the circuit board.
The battery must be disposed of safely.

Troubleshooting and Maintenance Guide

Battery and Charging Issues:

If your Remington G5 Graphite Series Personal Groomer PG5000 is not holding a charge, verify that the charging port is clean and free from debris. Check that the charger is properly connected to both the groomer and the power outlet. If the LED indicator does not light during charging, try a different power outlet to rule out electrical issues. The nickel-metal hydride battery may require several full charge cycles to reach optimal performance.

Blade Performance Problems:

If the groomer is not cutting efficiently, first check for hair wrapped around the blade assembly. Use the included maintenance brush to gently remove any accumulated hair or debris. Although the Remington G5 Graphite Series features self-sharpening blades, ensure the blade is clean and dry. For stubborn buildup, rinse the blade assembly under warm running water. Do not use harsh chemicals or solvents, as these may damage the graphite coating.

Attachment Issues:

If attachments are difficult to remove, ensure the groomer is powered off before attempting removal. Do not force attachments,, as this may damage the connection points. If an attachment is loose during use, power off immediately and reinstall, ensuring it clicks firmly into place.

Waterproofing and Cleaning:

The Remington G5 Graphite Series Personal Groomer PG5000 is fully waterproof and can be rinsed under running water. However, avoid submerging the charging port area. For deep cleaning, detach the head (note that the main blade is screwed in and not designed for quick removal) and rinse under warm water. Dry all components thoroughly before reattaching or charging.

Preventive Maintenance:

Clean your groomer after each use using the maintenance brush. Store in the included storage pouch to protect from dust and damage. Periodically check the charging cable for signs of wear. Keep the groomer away from extreme temperatures and moisture when not in use.

Warranty and Support:

The Remington G5 Graphite Series Personal Groomer PG5000 includes a 2-year manufacturer's warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship.[1] For warranty service or technical support, contact Remington customer service through their official website or authorised retailers.
