parts or scalp hair.
Turning the product on and off

product on or off (Fig. 6).

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.

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 Turn the product on (Fig. 6).
3 Place the edge of the blade perpendicular

-
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 product.
-
The settings on the wheel correspond to
the remaining hair length after trimming in
millimeters. You can select a length from
0.5mm (1/64 in.) to 9mm (23/64 in.) (Fig.
12).
-
Always trim in the direction of the teeth of
the precision trimming comb making sure
the flat part of the comb is in full contact
with the skin for an even trimming result
(Fig. 13).
-
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.
-
Make sure to always move the product
against the grain.
-
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 product (‘click’) (Fig.
14).
2 Turn the hair length setting wheel to select
the desired hair length setting (Fig. 15).The
settings on the wheel correspond to the
remaining hair length after trimming. You
can select a length from 0.5mm (1/64 in.)
to 9mm (23/64 in.) (Fig. 12).
3 Turn on the product (Fig. 6).
4 Place the comb onto the skin and move the
product upwards slowly, against the grain
(Fig. 16).
5 Turn off and clean the product after each
use (see 'Cleaning').
6 To remove the comb, pull the back part off
the product and then slide the comb off the
blade (Fig. 17).
Cleaning

-
Do not place or store the product where it

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. 21). When it is
highly visible, it is recommended to replace
your blade for the best OneBlade experience.
Replace the blade when you are not satisfied
with its performance. Always replace with an
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
1 Turn off the product.
2 Carefully push the blade release slide
switch upwards while holding the blade on
both sides (Fig. 22). This will prevent the
blade from flying away.
3 Hold the new blade on both sides and press
it onto the handle (‘click’) (Fig. 23).
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.
