Shaving
Warning: Before you use the appliance, always
check the blade for damage or wear. If the
blade is damaged or worn, do not use the
appliance, as injury may occur. Replace a
damaged blade before you use the appliance
(see chapter ‘Replacement’).
Shaving tips and tricks
- 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 appliance against
the grain.
- Make long strokes while pressing lightly.
- You can use the appliance dry or wet with gel or
foam. You can even use the appliance in the
shower.
- Shaving a clean beard and face gives the best
results.
Shaving
Before you use the appliance, always check
the blade for damage or wear. If the blade is
damaged or worn, do not use the appliance, as
injury may occur. Replace a damaged blade
before you use the appliance.
1 Switch on the appliance.
2 Place the blade on the skin and move the
appliance up or against the grain in long strokes
while you press it 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 appliance after every
use (see 'Cleaning and maintenance').
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. 9).
Note: To use the blade for creating sharp edges
and lines, use either edge of the blade (Fig. 10).
3 Make straight strokes while applying gentle
pressure (Fig. 11).
4 Switch off and clean the appliance after every
use (see 'Cleaning and maintenance').
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. 12). 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 Blow off any hairs that have accumulated on
the blade.
2 Switch on the appliance and rinse the blade
with lukewarm water (Fig. 14).
Caution: Do not dry the blade with a towel or a
tissue as this may cause damage.
3 Carefully shake off excess water and let all parts
air dry completely.
Note: The blade is fragile. Handle it carefully.
Replace the blade if it is damaged.
Storage
Always attach the protection cap on the blade to
protect the blade from damage during travelling or
storage.
We advise you to let the appliance and its
attachments are completely dry before you store
them for the next use.
1 Place the protection cap onto the edge of the
blade (Fig. 15).
2 Close the protection cap (Fig. 16).
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.
The blade is equipped with an usage indicator. A
green bar will gradually appear on the blade as you
use it (Fig. 17). When it is highly visible, it is
recommended to replace your blade for the best
OneBlade experience. Always replace the blade
with 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 Push the blade release slide upwards carefully,
and hold the blade on its sides to remove the
blade and prevent it from flying away (Fig. 18).
3 Hold the new blade on its sides and press it
onto the handle (‘click’) (Fig. 19).
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.
