Replacement of Philips 1-Blade Shaver Trimming QP2520

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 an 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 both sides to remove the blade. This will prevent the blade from flying off the handle.

   

3. Hold the new blade on its sides and press it onto the handle (‘click’).
