Note : An adapter plug may be necessary for cord usage in some foreign countries. Use an attachment plug adapter of the proper configuration for power outlet.

Using the product

Always check the product and all accessories before using. Do not use the product or any accessory if it is damaged, as this may cause injury. Always replace a damaged part with one of the original type.

Your product comes with 2 blades. Use one blade for your face only and the other blade for your body.

The face blade and the stubble combs are for use on facial hair. It is not intended for shaving, edging or trimming hairs on lower body parts or scalp hair.

The body blade and body comb are for use on body parts below the neck. The body blade with the skin guard attached are for use on sensitive body areas.

Note : This product is for cordless use.

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 with the face blade to trim, edge or shave facial hair (beard, moustache and sideburns). Trim with the stubble comb to obtain a certain length and edge to create perfect edges and sharp lines.
Use the product with the body blade to trim and/or shave your body hair. Shave your chest without the skin guard or body comb, shave your sensitive areas (e.g. groin, armpits) with the skin guard, use the body comb to trim your body.
Take your time and practice to give your skin time to adjust.

**Switching the product on and off

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

Face
Shaving

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.

1. Switch the product on (Fig. 6).

2. Place the blade on the skin and move the product up 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).

3. Switch off and clean the product after every 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.

1. To create sharp edges and lines, you can use either edge of the blade (Fig. 9).

2. Switch the product on (Fig. 6).

3. Place the edge of the blade perpendicular onto the skin (Fig. 10).

4. Make straight strokes while applying gentle pressure (Fig. 11).

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

Trimming with comb

The click-on stubble combs allow you to trim hair to different lengths. This product comes with 4 click-on stubble combs: 5mm (3/16in.), 3mm (1/8in.), 2mm (5/64in.) and 1mm (3/64in.). Start with the 5mm (3/16in.) 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 flat part of the comb is always in full contact with the skin to obtain an even trimming result (Fig. 12).
Since all hairs do not grow in the same direction, you may want to try different 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. 13).

Note : For best results, always trim in the direction of the teeth of the comb.

2. Switch the product on (Fig. 6).

3. Place the comb onto the skin and move the product upwards slowly, against the grain (Fig. 14).

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

5. To remove the comb, hold it on both sides and pull it off the blade (Fig. 15).

When shaving sensitive areas, always use the skin guard.
Since all hairs do not grow in the same direction, you may want to try different trimming positions (i.e. upwards, downwards, or across). Practice is best for optimum results.
For the best result, move the product against the grain.

Storage

Always attach the protective cap on the blade to protect the blade from damage during traveling or storage. Attach the click-on body comb on the body blade to protect the blade from damage. Make sure the product and attachments are completely dry before you store them for the next use.

Place the protective cap onto the edge of the blade (Fig. 23).
Close the protective cap (Fig. 24).
- Be sure the product is switched off. 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.
- Do not wrap cord around the product 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.

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. 25). 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.

Replacement

Replacing the blade

1 Switch the product off.

2 Carefully push the blade release slide switch upwards while holding the blade on both sides (Fig. 26). This will prevent the blade from flying away.

3 Hold the new blade on both sides and press it onto the handle (‘click’) (Fig. 27).

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.
