TO TRIM EDGE OF MUSTACHE
Remove hair length attachment.
Mustache hairs should be dry and without any waxes or lotions before
using trimmer.
Use the unit’s styling comb or a small comb to comb hairs straight for
trimming.
Hold groomer with trimmer cutting blade facing you.
Trim hairs using a downward motion following the
direction of your hair growth or trim against your hair
growth, whichever is preferred.
NOTE: Since all hairs do not grow in the same direction,
you may want to try different trimming positions (i.e.,
upwards, downwards or across). Practice is best for opti-
mum results.
After achieving desired length, use a downward motion to blend
mustache hairs.
NOTE: Use slow and light pressure.Too much pressure may trim off more
hair than desired.
Turn groomer off.
TO TRIM SIDEBURNS
Comb sideburns following the direction of your hair growth.
Be certain hair length attachment is ON.
Hold groomer vertically with front of groomer facing you.
Trim sideburns using a downward motion.
Turn groomer OFF.
Hair Length Attachment
The hair length attachment controls the length of the cut.There are four
positions for each attachment:
Hair Length Attachment 1 Hair Length Attachment 2
0 – Extra Close 0 – Medium
1 – Close 1 – Medium Long
2 – Short 2 – Long
3 – Medium Short 3 – Extra Long
To fasten the hair length attachment, place the front
hooks on the hair length attachment over the front of
the groomer’s trimmer head, and pivot onto backside of
the groomer’s trimmer head to lock into place.
To remove, push up on tab on back of hair
length attachment.
Charging/Recharging
Follow these simple steps:
Be sure groomer is turned off. Connect the adapter
cord to the charging stand and then adapter into
electric wall outlet. Charging
indicator will glow red, indicating groomer is prop-
erly charging.A full charge will take approx. 14-16
hours.
Your groomer cannot be overcharged, so you can
leave it plugged in and charging between uses.
However, if the unit is not going to be used for an
extended period of time (2-3 months), unplug unit and fully
recharge when use is resumed.
Only use the adapter supplied with groomer. Charging
should be done at temperatures between 40° and 95°
Fahrenheit or it could adversely affect battery life.
The PG-300 is designed only for cordless operation.
Your PG-300 personal groomer comes with (NiMH) Nickel
Metal Hydride environmentally safe batteries.
Trimming Beards or Mustaches
Before you begin, comb your hair in the direction that it
grows so that the hairs are at their maximum height and
facing in the same direction.
Before you begin, make sure that the wide trimmer blade is
in the up position. If the narrow,nose and ear trimmer is up,
press the button on the back of trimmer head to allow the
pivoting head to swivel the wide trimmer (beard/neckline)
to the up position.
Place the hair length attachment on the groomer’s trimmer
head and determine how much hair you want to cut.
Remember, until you are familiar with using the groomer,
it’s always better to select a longer hair setting initially in
order not to trim too much hair.
Turn the groomer’s power switch to ON, and
begin trimming.
Start trimming under your chin and,following your
jawbone line, work toward your ear and upper
beard line using an upward motion.Allow the
hair length attachment to follow the contours of
your face.
When finished trimming, turn the unit’s power switch to OFF.

Trimming the Nape of Your Neck
You will need a hand mirror for this operation if performing it alone.
The mirror is not necessary if trimming is performed by a second person.
Before you begin, remove the hair length
attachment,and make sure that the wide trimmer
blade is in position. If the narrow,nose and ear
trimmer is up, press the button on the back of
trimmer head to allow the pivoting head to swivel
the wide trimmer (beard/neckline) to the up
position.
Use your fingers to lift the hair at the base of your
head up off the neck.Your index finger should be covering the roots of
the hairs you are lifting to prevent accidental removal by groomer.
Using your other hand, hold the groomer horizontally to the base of your
neck with the cutting unit facing up, and move the groomer along the
length of the neck until the unit touches your finger covering the hair
roots at the base of your head. Repeat this procedure for the entire area
of the neck. Be sure to move the unit slowly when performing this
operation and to keep the hair roots at the base of your head out of the
way of the groomer.
Use the hand mirror to inspect the results of the operation and ensure
all hairs along the nape of the neck have been trimmed.
To Define the Beard Line
Remove the hair length attachment.
Hold groomer with trimmer cutting blade facing you.
Start with edge of beard line,and with the cutting blades resting lightly
against your skin,use motions toward edge of beard line to trim the beard
line to desired locations in facial area and away from beard in neck area.
To Thin and Taper the Beard
Remove the hair length attachment.
Use the unit’s styling comb or a small comb to
comb and hold the beard hairs in place while trim-
ming.
Holding the groomer with the cutting unit facing
away from you, move the groomer along the length
of the comb.
The Best Technique for Nose & Ear
Before you begin, press the button on the back of trimmer head to allow the
pivoting head to swivel and change the wide trimmer (beard/neckline) to the
narrow,nose and ear trimmer.
Here are a few tips for trimming the various parts of your face.
To remove hair from nose:
Nose,ear, eyebrow attachment should be in position.
Turn groomer on.
Insert groomer’s cutting unit gently into the
nostril.
Rotate groomer in a circular motion around the
opening of the nostril.
For best cutting efficiency, gently move the
groomer in and out of the nostril as you rotate the groomer.
Avoid inserting the groomer more than 1/4” into your nostril to ensure
safe trimming.
To remove hair from ear:
Nose, ear, eyebrow attachment should be in position.
Turn groomer on.
Insert groomer’s cutting unit gently into the outer
ear canal opening.
Gently rotate groomer in a circular motion.
To trim hairs protruding from the surface of the ear
surrounding the outer ear canal, guide the groomer
around the edge of the ear.
Avoid inserting the groomer more than 1/4” into your ear canal to
ensure safe trimming.
To remove hair from eyebrows:
Nose,ear, eyebrow attachment should be in position.
Turn groomer on.
Gently guide cutting unit to stray, unwanted hairs
along the eyebrow line or protruding from the
eyebrow itself.
Move the unit slowly and carefully so as not to
accidentally cut any hairs you do not intend to
trim. It is not recommended that you use the groomer to define or trim
the entire eyebrow.
Changing Attachments
Remove an attachment by pushing the back of the attachment
forward to release the rear latch. Insert an attachment by
inserting the front first, then rocking back to set the rear latch.
Be careful not to press down on the foil on the shaver
attachment, as it is delicate.
To Use the MiniScreen Shaver:
Hold the groomer so the mini screen gently touches your face.
This allows the unit to work the way it was designed for the
closest shave and minimum screen wear.Avoid holding the
groomer at an angle.This will distort the screen and may
cause some skin irritations.
Use short, detail strokes to trim around your beard/mustache.
Use your free hand to stretch your skin.This encourages your
whiskers to stand out, making it easier for them to enter
the cutting chamber.
Please note:The MiniScreen shaver was designed to shave the
detail areas around your beard/mustache/sideburns. It was not
designed to shave your entire face–for a close comfortable
shave, guaranteed,use one of Remington’s electric razors.

is not prematurely shortened.
