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

Switch the product off.
Carefully push the blade release slide switch upwards while holding the blade on both sides **(Fig. 21).

** This will prevent the blade from flying away.

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.
