Turning OneBlade on and off

To turn your OneBlade on or off, simply press the power button once.

Tip: If the OneBlade will not turn on, check that the battery is fully charged and remove the charging cable from the handle before pressing the power button.

Choosing the correct blade

Depending on the model purchased, your OneBlade pack includes either one or two different types of blade.

• The 360 blade (recognizable by its U-shaped construction) is designed to closely follow the contours of your face. This type of blade is labeled as number 2 in the product overview illustration.

• The Original blade is the perfect all-rounder for day-to-day shaving and grooming on both your face and body. This type of blade is labeled as numbers 6 (for face) and 9 (for body) in the product overview illustration.

For hygiene reasons, it is recommended to use different blades for your face and body.

• If your model includes a 360 blade, it is recommended to use that blade type for your face.

Note: all OneBlade models are compatible with both types of blade, and both can be ordered as replacement parts.

Facial Hair

Shaving and edging

To shave with OneBlade, remove any combs. Your OneBlade is waterproof, so you can shave in the shower or with foam or gel.

1. 

2. 

3. 

4. To shave, make long, slow and steady strokes, applying gentle pressure with the blade flat against your skin. Move the blade back and forth to make use of both sides of the blade.

5. 

6. 

7. To edge or contour your beard, mustache or sideburns, hold the blade perpendicular to your skin.

8. For best results, clean your OneBlade after each use.

Trimming

To trim the length of your facial hair, use the 5-in-1 comb. The numbers on the comb relate to the hair length remaining after trimming (in millimeters).

Tip: if you are unsure which length you prefer, start with the longest setting and reduce the length further if necessary.

1. 

2. Hook the back of the comb under the bottom of the blade, then gently press on the front of the comb until it clicks into place.

3. Note: if you experience difficulties attaching the comb, ensure that the two small hooks on the bottom (on the side closest to the teeth) are properly aligned on the upper edge of the blade.

4. 

5. Press down on the length dial on the comb using your thumb, and roll it until your preferred length is selected.

6. 

7. 

8. Trim against the direction of hair growth, with the teeth of the comb flat against your skin

9. 

10. To detach the comb, hold the handle firmly and gently lift the comb off the blade. For best results, clean your OneBlade after each use.

Body Hair

Shaving body hair

Use your OneBlade with the body blade attached to shave hair anywhere below the neck.

Areas including your chest, stomach and legs can be shaved using the bare blade, in the same way as shaving your face.

Note: to minimize the risk of cuts always use the SkinGuard when trimming sensitive areas. This includes when shaving your armpits or groin (including scrotum).

1. If you are using the SkinGuard, place it onto the blade and gently press until it clicks into place.

2. Switch on your OneBlade, and place the blade flat against your skin.

3. Make long, steady strokes, exerting gentle pressure and allowing the blade to glide across the surface of your skin.

4. Tip: on certain areas, using the fingers of your free hand to spread the skin and hold it taut will provide better results.

5. The blade and SkinGuard are double sided. Move the blade back and forth to catch hairs growing in different directions.

6. Clean your OneBlade after each use. If you used the skin guard, press your thumb onto the exposed flat surface of the blade, and use your fingers to gently pull off the skin guard before cleaning.

Trimming body hair

Note: the accessories mentioned in this section are only provided with Philips Norelco Face + Body models. These accessories are also available to purchase separately.

The 3mm (1/8 inch) body comb allows you to trim hair on your body below the neckline (for example chest, armpits and groin)

For delicate areas such as the groin, only trim when the body comb or skin guard is attached.

1. 

2. Place the the comb onto the blade and gently press until it clicks into place.

3. Switch on your OneBlade.

4. 

5. Trim against the direction of hair growth, with the teeth of the comb flat against your skin. The comb is double sided, so you can move your OneBlade back and forth to cut hairs growing in different directions.

6. To detach the comb, hold the handle firmly and gently lift the comb off the blade. For best results, clean your OneBlade after each use.

Cleaning OneBlade

Clean after each use

For a quick clean, simply blow on the blade and any accessories to remove hairs and dirt.

Thorough cleaning

1. 

2. Turn on your OneBlade and rinse it under the tap with cold or lukewarm water. If you shave with foam or gel, be sure to remove all residue after each shave.

3. Combs can also be cleaned under the tap using warm water.

4. Allow your OneBlade and accessories to air dry completely before storage.

Note: Do not bang the handle on the sink or any hard surface, a this may damage your OneBlade. Do not use a towel or cloth to dry the blade.

Storage

Store your OneBlade in a safe, dry location where it will not be crushed, banged, or subject to damage. To protect the blade, store the product with the protection cap attached. Do not wrap the cable around the product when storing, and do not place or store the product where it can fall or be pulled into a tub or sink, water or other liquid while plugged in.

Blade Replacement

When to replace the blade

We recommend replacing the blade of your OneBlade at least once every four months, or whenever the blade shows signs of wear.

Wear indicator

A replacement symbol will gradually appear on the blade as you use it. When the replacement symbol is fully visible, it's time to replace your blade.

Note that accessories such as combs can prevent the replacement symbol from becoming visible.

Tip: the replacement symbol resembles the arrow icon on the handle of your OneBlade. For older blades, a green rectangle may appear in place of the replacement symbol.

If blade is damaged

If you notice any damage on your blade, please replace it immediately.

1. 

2. Gently pull off the old blade, holding it by both short sides.

3. The old blade can be discarded with your normal household waste.

4. Remove your replacement blade from the packaging. To avoid damaging the blade, don't use sharp objects or crush the packaging.

5. 

6. Hold the new blade by both short sides and insert the protrusions on the bottom of the blade into the slots on the OneBlade handle.
