**

Use this product for its intended household use as described in this manual.

For hygienic reasons, the product should only be used by one person.
Trimming is easier when the skin and hair are dry.
Use the product to trim, edge or shave facial hair (beard, mustache and sideburns).
Trim with the trimming comb to obtain a certain length.
Take your time when you first start to use the product. You have to gain practice with the product.
Allow some time for the skin to adjust to the product.
Use the blade on a clean face. The blades go blunt faster if on skin that isn‘t clean.
Do not use the blade when damaged or broken. Replace the blade immediately if it is damaged.

This product is not intended for shaving, edging or trimming hairs on lower body parts or scalp hair.

Switching the product on and off

Press the on/off button once to switch the product on or off (Fig. 6).

Shaving
● Shave off any length of hair. The product does not shave as close as a traditional blade so your skin will stay comfortable.
● Make sure that the blade is in full contact with the skin by placing it flat on the skin.
● For the best result, move the product against the grain.
● Make long strokes while pressing lightly.
● Use the product dry or wet with gel or foam, even in the shower.
● Shaving a clean beard and face gives the best results.

Switch on the product (Fig. 6).
Place the blade on the skin and move the product upwards or against the grain in long strokes while pressing lightly (Fig. 7).

Note: Make sure you hold the surface of the blade flat against your skin (Fig. 8).

Switch off and clean the product after each use (see ‘Cleaning’).

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.

To create sharp edges and lines, you can use either edge of the blade (Fig. 9).
Switch on the product (Fig. 6).
Place the edge of the blade perpendicular onto the skin (Fig. 10).
Make straight strokes while applying gentle pressure (Fig. 11). 5 Switch off and clean the product after each use (see ‘Cleaning’).

Using the precision trimming comb

The precision trimming comb allows you to trim hair to different lengths. When you trim for the first time, start at the highest length setting to familiarize yourself with the product.
The settings on the wheel correspond to the remaining hair length after trimming in millimeters. You can select a length from 0.5 mm (1/64 in.) to 9 mm (23/64 in.) (Fig. 12).
Always trim in the direction of the teeth of the precision trimming comb, making sure that the flat part of the comb is in full contact with the skin for an even trimming result (Fig. 13).
Since all hairs do not grow in the same direction, you may want to try different trimming directions (i.e. upwards, downwards, or across). Practice is best for optimum results.
Make sure to always move the product against the grain.
Trimming is easier when the skin and hair are dry.

Place the front part of the comb onto the blade and push the projection at the back of the comb into the product (‘click’) (Fig. 14).
Turn the hair length setting wheel to select the desired hair length setting (Fig. 15). The settings on the wheel correspond to the remaining hair length after trimming.
Switch on the product (Fig. 6).
Place the comb onto the skin and move the product upwards slowly, against the grain (Fig. 16).
Switch off and clean the product after each use (see ‘Cleaning’).
To remove the comb, pull the back part off the product and then slide the comb off the blade (Fig. 18).

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. 17). If the blade is damaged, replace immediately.

Never dry the blade with a towel or tissue, as this may cause damage.

Cleaning the product

Switch off the product.
Remove the comb from the blade (Fig. 18).
Blow off any hairs that have accumulated on the blade and/or comb.
Switch on the product for approx. 15 seconds and rinse the blade with lukewarm water.
Rinse the comb for approx. 15 seconds with lukewarm water (Fig. 19)
Carefully shake off excess water and let all parts air dry completely

Note: The blade is fragile. Handle it carefully. Replace the blade immediately if it is damaged.
This product has no other user-serviceable parts. For assistance call 1-800-243-3050.

Storage

Always put the protection cap on the blade to protect the blade from damage during travel or storage.
We advise you to let the product and its attachments dry completely before you store them for the next use.

Place the protection cap onto the edge of the blade (Fig. 20).
Close the protection cap (Fig. 21).

● Charge the battery before storing the product for an extended period

Be sure the product is switched off. Remove the power cord from power outlet and the product before storing it in a safe, dry location where it will not be crushed, banged, or subject to damage.
Do not wrap cord around the product when storing.
Store cord and other accessories in a safe location where these 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. Depending on your usage behavior, the exact lifetime of the blade could be longer or shorter. Similar to a manual blade, the bladebecomes blunt over time, which results in increased hair pulling and reduced cutting performance.
A replacement symbol will gradually appear on the blade as you use it (Fig. 22). When the replacement symbol is fully visible, it‘s time to replace your blade.

Note that accessories such as guards can prevent the replacement symbol from becoming visible.
Tip: the replacement symbol resembles the icon on the blade release button of your OneBlade. For older blades, a green rectangle may appear in place of the replacement symbol.
Replacing the blade

Make sure that the product is switched off.
Carefully push the blade release slide switch upwards while holding the blade on both sides (Fig. 23). This prevents the blade from being ejected from the handle.
Hold the new blade on both sides and press it onto the handle (‘click’) (Fig. 24).

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.
