How to Use  
Cord/cordless rechargeable shavers  
Charging  
Before using your shaver for the first time, put  
it on charge for 24 hours.  
Removing the Headguard  
Operating the Pop-up  
Mini-foil  
Your shaver is equipped with a 2-position  
mini-foil. Use the mini-foil push tab to  
extend or retract the mini foil.  
(MS5200 only) can run directly off the  
cord if necessary. They will not recharge  
while you are shaving, so after shaving  
with the cord, turn the unit off and set it  
aside to charge. Cord/cordless shavers  
should not be used strictly as cord-  
operated shavers, as continued cord-  
only use will result in reduction of  
battery life.  
If your shaver’s charge runs out in the  
middle of a shave, you can push the  
power reserve button to get an extra 5  
minutes of power, on the MS5200.  
Before operating your  
shaver, remove the head-  
guard, which protects the  
screen and cutter assem-  
bly. Simply push up from  
the front or the back until  
it pops off.  
To Charge Your Shaver  
The MS5100 and MS5200 can be  
recharged by plugging it into the cord  
directly.  
Use only the charging adapter supplied  
with the shaver.  
Make sure your shaver is turned off.  
Connect the cord to the shaver, then  
plug the charging adapter into the  
electrical outlet. A charging indicator  
light will come on.  
Your shaver cannot be overcharged, so  
you can leave it plugged in and charging  
between shaves.  
1. Completely retracted (down), the mini-foil  
works with the 2 large screens to provide  
a close and comfortable shave.  
! Always keep the protective head guard  
on the shaver head and keep the trimmer  
in the OFF position when the shaver is not  
in use.  
2. Fully extended (up), the mini-foil can be  
used to provide a close shave for small  
or difficult-to-reach areas, for a detailed  
look.  
! Do NOT retract the mini-foil by pressing  
down directly on the screen. This could  
permanently damage the screen.  
NOTE: If your shaver battery is completely  
discharged or the shaver has not been used  
for a long time, the shaver may not start  
when operated using the cord. If this  
happens, charge the shaver for approxi-  
mately five minutes before shaving.  
Operating the Trimmer  
Your shaver is equipped  
with a 3-position trim-  
mer. Use the trimmer  
push tab to extend or  
retract the trimmer.  
To preserve the life of the batteries, let  
them fully run out every six months,  
then recharge them for a full 24 hours.  
1. Completely retracted (down), the trimmer  
is out of the way and off, for when you  
want to use the screens alone. Press the  
trimmer down with your thumb to get it  
into this position.  
2. In the middle position, the trimmer works  
with the screens, cutting the longer,  
hard-to-shave hairs so the screens can  
get in extra close. Slide the trimmer into  
the position level with the foils.  
3. Fully extended (up), the trimmer can be  
used to trim your sideburns and mus-  
tache. Slide the trimmer into the top  
position, above the foils.

Maintenance  
Usage Tips  
Adjusting to your new shaver  
To shave  
Push the ON/OFF button.  
Hold the shaver so all of  
the screens touch your  
face at the same time.  
This allows the shaver to  
work the way it was designed for the clos-  
est shave and minimum wear. Avoid holding  
the shaver at an angle so only one screen  
touches the skin at a time. This will distort  
the screen and could cause skin irritation.  
Depending on your shaving technique and  
Replacing Cutters and  
Screens  
As with every shaver, your shave will  
improve over time. So allow about three  
weeks to develop an effective shaving style  
and for your beard to adjust to the new  
shaver. The adaptation period may take a  
little longer if your skin is sensitive, or if  
you alternate between shaving methods.  
habits, the screens will usually last 6  
months; the cutters, 12 months. If you are  
replacing the cutters, it’s a good idea to  
replace the screens at the same time.  
To prevent inadvertent damage to the cut-  
ters and screens, do not attempt to remove  
them from the head assembly unless you  
are replacing them. Removal instructions  
are included with the cutter and screen  
replacement packages.  
Here are some signs that your screens and  
cutters need replacing:  
To replace a cutter assembly that is  
removed unintentionally:  
1. Hold the cutter in the middle. The blades  
will not cut your fingers, so no special  
handling techniques are  
necessary.  
2. Align the cutter so the little  
bar on the bottom meets  
To help smooth the transition to your new  
shaver, Remington has applied a special  
lubricant to the shaver’s screens and  
cutters. The lubricant looks like fine, white  
or gray powder, and disappears with use.  
Irritation: As screens get worn, you may  
notice that your skin feels more sensitive  
after a shave, particularly when you apply  
aftershave.  
Shave with short,  
circular strokes. Use  
your free hand to stretch  
your skin. This encour-  
ages your whiskers to  
stand out, making it  
easier for them to enter  
the cutting chamber.  
Pulling: As cutters wear, your shave may  
not feel as close and you may feel your  
shaver is pulling at your whiskers.  
Before you begin  
Wait at least 15 minutes

after getting up before  
shaving, to ensure your  
face is free of puffiness  
that may be present  
from sleeping.

3. Press down on the center of the cutter  
until it snaps into place. Do not push  
down on the ends of the cutter, as you  
may bend the cutter, reducing its ability  
to cut cleanly.  
4. Do not separate the cutter’s blades from  
the plastic pieces they are attached to,  
as this may damage the assembly.  
Wear-through: You may notice that the  
cutters have worn through the screens.  
6
Never press hard.  
The replacement part for this shaver is  
model SP-95 (screens) and SP-96 (screens  
and cutters).  
Pressing only flattens  
your whiskers, making  
it harder for them to  
enter the cutting  
chamber. It will also  
wear out the cutting  
surface more quickly.  
Make sure your face is  
clean and dry before  
starting.  
U.S. residents:  
To order shaver accessories call  
800-736-4648, visit  
or visit your local retailer.  
Always use a clean, dry  
shaver.  
When is it time to replace your screens  
and cutters?  
Because they are subject to daily use, the  
cutters and screens of your shaver will  
wear and eventually require replacement to  
maintain a close, comfortable shave. It is  
very important to replace your screens and  
cutters when necessary to ensure a close,  
comfortable shave without irritation.  
For an Even Better Shave…

Remington® Pre-Shave Powder Stick (SP-5)  
can help maximize your shaver’s perform-  
ance. Just rub the product over your beard  
and it absorbs moisture and facial oils,  
helping set up the hairs so they enter the  
cutting chamber more easily. It makes  
shaving quicker and more comfortable.
