Edging
- Use both edges of the blade to create
sharp lines and perfect edges.
- Hold the product in such a way that
the blade is perpendicular to the skin
and one of its edges touches the skin.
This allows more precise detailing of
sideburns and the area around the
mouth and nose.
1 To create sharp edges and lines, you can
use either edge of the blade (Fig. 6).
2 Switch the product on (Fig. 3).
3 Place the edge of the blade
perpendicular onto the skin (Fig. 7).
4 Make straight strokes while applying
gentle pressure (Fig. 8).
5 Switch o and clean the product after
each use (see ‘Cleaning‘).
Trimming with comb
The click-on stubble combs allow you to
trim hair to dierent lengths. This product
comes with 3 click-on stubble combs: 5mm
(3/16in.), 3mm (1/8in.) and 1mm (3/64in.).
Start with the 5mm comb to acquire practice
with this product. The indication on each
comb corresponds to the remaining hair
length in millimeters.
- Always make sure that the tips of the
click-on stubble comb point in the
direction in which you move the product.
- Make sure that the at part of the comb
is always in full contact with the skin to
obtain an even trimming result (Fig. 9).
- Since all hairs do not grow in the same
direction, you may want to try dierent
trimming positions (i.e. upwards,
downwards, or across). Practice is best
for optimum results.
- Trimming is easier when the skin and hair
are dry.
1 Place the comb onto the blade, with the
teeth of the comb pointing upwards (Fig. 10).
Note: For best results, always trim in the
direction of the teeth of the comb.
2 Switch the product on (Fig. 3).
3 Place the comb onto the skin and move
the product upwards slowly, against the
grain (Fig. 11).
4 Switch o and clean the product after
each use (see ‘Cleaning‘).
5 To remove the comb, hold it on both
sides and pull it o the blade (Fig. 12).
Cleaning
Clean the product after every use.
Never use scouring pads, abrasive cleaning
agents or aggressive liquids such as
gasoline or acetone to clean the product.
Do not tap the product or blade against a
surface to remove hairs and water as this
may cause damage to the product and
blade (Fig. 13). If the blade is damaged,
replace immediately.
Never dry the blade with a towel or tissue,
as this may cause damage.
Cleaning the product
1 Switch the product o.
2 Pull the comb o the blade (Fig. 12).
3 Blow o any hairs that have accumulated
on the blade and/or combs (Fig. 14, Fig. 15).
4 Switch on the product for approx. 15
seconds while rinsing the blade with
lukewarm water (Fig. 16).
5 Rinse the combs for approx. 15 seconds
with lukewarm water (Fig. 17).
6 Carefully shake o excess water and let
all parts air dry completely.

Storage
Always attach the protective cap on the
blade to protect the blade from damage
during traveling or storage.
Make sure the product and attachments are
completely dry before you store them for
the next use.
1 Place the protective cap onto the edge of
the blade (Fig. 18).
2 Close the protective cap (Fig. 19).
- Be sure the product is switched o.
Remove cord from outlet and the
product before storing it in a safe, dry
location where it will not be crushed,
banged, or subject to damage.

when storing.
- Store cord in a safe location where it will
not be cut or damaged.
- Do not place or store the product where
it can fall or be pulled into a tub or sink,
water or other liquid while plugged in.
Replacement
Blade wear indicator
For optimal cutting and gliding performance,
replace the blade every 4 months or when it
no longer provides the shaving or trimming
results you expect. This advice is based on
two full shaves a week and actual results
may vary.
The blade is equipped with a blade wear
indicator. A green bar will gradually appear
on the blade as you use it (Fig. 20). When it is
highly visible, it is recommended to replace
your blade for the best OneBlade experience.
Always replace the blade with original Philips
Norelco blade (see ‘Accessories‘).
Depending on your usage behavior, the
exact lifetime of the blade could be longer
or shorter. Similar to a manual blade, the
blade becomes blunt over time, which
results in increased hair pulling and reduced
cutting performance.
Replacing the blade
1 Switch the product o.
2 Carefully push the blade release slide
switch upwards while holding the blade
on both sides (Fig. 21). This will prevent
the blade from ying away.
3 Hold the new blade on both sides and
press it onto the handle (‘click’) (Fig. 22).
Note:Be careful, the edges of the blade are
sharp. When you hear a click, the new blade
is placed correctly and ready for use.
