Replacement

Usage indicator

For optimal cutting and gliding performance, we advise you to replace the blade every 4 months, when it no longer provides the shaving or trimming results you expect or when the usage indicator appears.  The blade is equipped with a usage indicator which gradually turns green. When the green bar is highly visible, it is recommended to replace your blade. Always replace the blade with an original Philips blade.
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. Push the blade release slide upwards carefully, and hold the blade on both sides to remove the blade. This will prevent the blade from flying off the handle.
2. Hold the new blade on its sides and press it onto the handle (‘click’). Note: When you hear a click, the new blade is placed correctly and ready for use.
