Edging
- You can also use both edges of the blade to
create sharp lines and perfect edges.
- Hold the appliance 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 Switch on the appliance.
2 Place the edge of the blade perpendicular onto
the skin (Fig. 15).
Note: To use the blade for creating sharp edges
and lines, use either edge of the blade (Fig. 14).
3 Make straight strokes while applying gentle
pressure (Fig. 16).
4 Switch off and clean the appliance after every
use (see 'Cleaning and maintenance').
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 appliance.
- The settings on the wheel correspond to the
remaining hair length after trimming in
millimeters. You can select a length from 0.4
mm (1/32 in.) to 10 mm (13/32 in.) (Fig. 17).
- 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. 18).
- 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.
- Trimming is easier when the skin and hair are
dry.
1 Place the front part of the comb onto the blade
and push the projection at the back of the
comb into the appliance (‘click’) (Fig. 19).
2 Turn the hair length setting wheel to select the
desired hair length setting (Fig. 20). The settings
on the wheel correspond to the remaining hair
length after trimming.
3 Switch on the appliance.
4 Place the comb onto the skin and move the
appliance upwards slowly, against the grain
(Fig. 21).
5 Switch off and clean the appliance and
attachments after each use.
6 To remove the comb, pull the back part off the
appliance and then slide the comb off the
blade.
Cleaning and maintenance
Clean the appliance after every use.
Never use compressed air, scouring pads, abrasive
cleaning agents or aggressive liquids such as
petrol or acetone to clean the appliance.
Do not tap the appliance against a surface to
remove water from it, as this may cause damage
(Fig. 23). Replace the blade if it is damaged.
Never dry the blade with a towel or tissue, as this
may cause damage.
Cleaning the appliance
1 Switch off the appliance.
2 Remove the comb from the blade (Fig. 22).
3 Blow off any hairs that have accumulated on
the blade and/or comb (Fig. 24).
4 Switch on the appliance for approx. 15 seconds
and rinse the blade with lukewarm water.
5 Rinse the comb for approx. 15 seconds with
lukewarm water (Fig. 25).
6 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.
Storage
We advise you to let the appliance and its
attachments dry completely before you store them
for the next use.
1 Place the protection cap onto the edge of the
blade (Fig. 27).
2 Close the protection cap (Fig. 28).
- Store the appliance in the pouch supplied.
Make sure the appliance and attachments are
completely dry before storing in the pouch.
Replacement
Usage indicator
For optimal cutting and gliding performance, we
advise you to replace the blade every 4 months or
when it no longer provides the shaving or trimming
results you expect.
The blade is equipped with a usage indicator. A
green bar will gradually appear on the blade as you
use it (Fig. 26). When it is highly visible, it is
recommended to replace your blade for the best
OneBlade experience. 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 Switch off the appliance.
2 Carefully push the blade release slide switch
upwards while holding the blade on both sides.
This prevents the blade from being ejected
from the handle.
3 Hold the new blade on both sides and press it
onto the handle (‘click’).
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.
