Getting started

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.
You can use this product either wet or dry, or even in the shower. For that reason, this product does not work while it is connected to the power outlet. Except when charging, always unplug this product from the power outlet.

Charging OneBlade

Low Battery
When the battery is low, the motor will run more slowly.
Charging with the USB cable

Warning: Keep the USB cable and the USB power source dry.

Insert the small plug of the USB cable into the socket in the bottom of the product.
Insert the USB plug into the USB power source (not included) (Fig. 2).
Insert the USB power source into the power outlet (Fig. 3).
To fully charge the battery, allow it to charge for 8 hours. The charging indicator will remain illuminated when the product is connected to the power outlet.
Unplug the adapter from the power source, then remove the USB cable from the handle.
Note: for safety reasons, the product can only be used when the USB cable is not attached.
A fully charged OneBlade has an operating time of approximately 30 minutes.

Turning OneBlade on and off
To turn the product on or off, simply press the power button once (Fig. 4).

Tip: If the product will not turn on, check that the battery is fully charged and remove the charging cable from the handle before pressing the power button.

Using OneBlade

Shaving and edging
To shave with OneBlade, remove any combs or guards. Your OneBlade is waterproof, so you can shave in the shower or with foam or gel.

To shave, make long, slow and steady strokes (Fig. 5), applying gentle pressure with the blade flat against your skin (Fig. 6). Move the blade back and forth to make use of both sides of the blade (Fig. 7).

Shaving and edging

To edge your beard (Fig. 8), mustache or sideburns, hold the blade perpendicular to your skin **(Fig. 9).

**

For best results, clean your OneBlade after each use.

Trimming facial hair
To trim the length of your facial hair, use the 5-in-1 guard. The numbers on the guard relate to the hair length remaining after trimming (in millimeters).

Tip: if you are unsure which length you prefer, start with the longest setting and reduce the length further if necessary.

Hook the back of the guard over the back of the blade, then gently press the front of the guard downwards until it clicks into place **(Fig. 10).

Note:** if you experience difficulties attaching the guard, ensure that the two small hooks on the bottom (on the side closest to the teeth) are properly aligned on the upper edge of the blade.

Press down on the length dial on the comb using your thumb, and roll it until your preferred length is selected (Fig. 11).
Trim against the direction of hair growth (Fig. 12), with the teeth of the guard flat against your skin (Fig. 13).
To detach the guard, hold the handle firmly and gently lift the guard off the blade (Fig. 14). For best results, clean your OneBlade after each use.

Trimming body hair

Note: the following section applies to the QP2834 only.

The 1/8 inch (3 mm) body guard allows you to trim hair on your body below the neckline (for example chest, armpits and groin).

For hygiene reasons, we recommend using the separate body blade provided when trimming body hair. For delicate areas such as the groin, only trim when the guard is attached.

Place the the guard onto the blade and gently press until it clicks into place (Fig. 15).
Trim against the direction of hair growth, with the teeth of the guard flat against your skin. The guard is double sided, so you can move your OneBlade back and forth to cut hairs growing in different directions
(Fig. 16).
To detach the guard, hold the handle firmly and gently lift the guard off the blade. For best results, clean your OneBlade after each use.

Maintenance

Cleaning OneBlade
Clean after each use
For a quick clean, simply blow on the blade and any accessories to remove hairs and dirt (Fig. 17).

Thorough cleaning

Turn on your OneBlade and rinse it under the tap with cold or lukewarm water (Fig. 18). If you shave with foam or gel, be sure to remove all residue after each shave.
Guards can also be cleaned under the tap using warm water.
Allow your OneBlade and accessories to air dry completely before storage.

Note: Do not bang the handle on the sink or any hard surface, a this may damage the product (Fig. 19). Do not use a towel or cloth to dry the blade.

Storage
Store your OneBlade in a safe, dry location where it will not be crushed, banged, or subject to damage. Do not wrap the cable around the product when storing, and 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. Blade Replacement

When to replace the blade
We recommend replacing the blade of your OneBlade at least once every four months, or whenever the blade shows signs of wear.

Wear indicator
A replacement symbol will gradually appear on the blade as you use it. 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 arrow icon on the handle of your OneBlade. For older blades, a green rectangle may appear in place of the replacement symbol.

If blade is damaged
If you notice any damage on your blade, please replace it immediately.

How to replace the blade
Before you begin, make sure your OneBlade is turned off and any guards are removed.

Press the release slide upwards and lift off the old blade, holding it by both short sides (Fig. 20).

Note: hold the blade before pressing the release slide, because the blade may fly off and become damaged.

The old blade can be discarded with your normal household waste.
Remove your replacement blade from the packaging. To avoid damaging the blade, don‘t use sharp objects or crush the packaging.
Hold the new blade by both short sides and insert the protrusions on the bottom of the blade into the slots on the OneBlade handle (Fig. 21).
Gently press the blade downwards onto the handle until it clicks into place.
Your OneBlade is now ready to use. The following Philips Norelco replacement blade packs are available for your OneBlade:
