Full Two-Year Warranty
Philips Electronics North America
Corporation warrants this new product
(except blade and comb) against defects
in materials or workmanship for a period
of two years from the date of purchase,
and agrees to repair or replace any
defective product without charge.
IMPORTANT: This warranty does not
cover damage resulting from accident,
misuse or abuse, lack of reasonable
care, the axing of any attachment not
provided with the product or loss of parts
or subjecting the product to any but the
specied voltage or batteries.*
3 Switch o 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 use the blade for creating sharp edges
and lines, use either edge of the blade
(Fig. 11).
2 Switch on the product (Fig. 8).
3 Place the edge of the blade
perpendicular onto the skin (Fig. 12).
4 Make straight strokes while applying
gentle pressure (Fig. 13).
5 Switch o and clean the product after
each use (see ‘Cleaning’).
Trimming with comb
-The precision trimming comb allows
you to trim hair to dierent lengths.
When you trim for the rst 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 0.4mm (1/32 in.) to 10mm
(13/32 in.) (Fig. 14).
-Always trim in the direction of the
teeth of the precision trimming comb
making sure the at part of the comb is
in full contact with the skin for an even
trimming result (Fig. 15).
-Since all hairs do not grow in the same
direction, you may want to try dierent
trimming positions (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. 16).
2 Turn the hair length setting wheel to
select the desired hair length setting
(Fig. 17).The settings on the wheel
correspond to the remaining hair length
after trimming. You can select a length
from 1/32 in./0.4mm to 13/32 in./10mm.
3 Switch on the product (Fig. 8).
4 Place the comb onto the skin and move
the product upwards slowly, against the
grain (Fig. 18).
5 Switch o and clean the product after
each use (see ‚Cleaning‘).
6 To remove the comb, pull the back part
o the product and then slide the comb
o the blade (Fig. 19).

Replacement
Replacing the blade
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. 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.
Always replace the blade with original
Philips Norelco blade (see ‘Accessories’).
1 Turn o the product.
2 Carefully push the blade release slide
switch upwards while holding the blade
on each side (Fig. 26). This will prevent
the blade from ying away.
3 Hold the new blade on both sides and
press it onto the handle (‘click’) (Fig. 27).
