Maintenance
Replacing Cutters and
S c r e e n s
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.
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
the opening in the clip.
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.
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.
Depending on your shaving technique and
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.
Here are some signs that your screens and
cutters need replacing:
Irritation: As screens get worn,you may
notice that your skin feels more sensitive
after a shave,particularly when you apply
aftershave.
Pulling: As cutters wear, your shave may
not feel as close and you may feel your
shaver is pulling at your whiskers.
Wear-through:You may notice that the
cutters have worn through the screens.
The replacement part for this shaver is
model SP-95 (screens) and SP-96 (screens
and cutters).
