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 a usage indicator. A
green bar will gradually appear on the blade as
you use it. 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.
17
English

Similar to a manual blade, the blade becomes
blunt over time, which results in increased hair
pulling and reduced cutting performance.
Replacing the blade
1Switch off the appliance.
