Identifying Your Trimmer Model Number

To ensure you have the correct replacement part, it is crucial to accurately identify your Philips Norelco trimmer's model number. The model number is typically located on the back of the shaver or in other discreet locations. Refer to the videos below for detailed guidance on locating your model number.

Installation

1. Preparation: Ensure your Philips Norelco trimmer is turned off and unplugged from any power source before attaching or detaching accessories.
2. Clean the Trimmer: For optimal performance and hygiene, clean the trimmer head and any existing comb guides thoroughly before installing the new comb. Refer to the Maintenance section for cleaning instructions.
3. Align the Comb: Align the comb trimmer with the grooves on the trimmer head. The comb should slide smoothly onto the head.
4. Secure the Comb: Gently push the comb until it clicks into place, indicating a secure attachment. Do not force the comb, as this may cause damage.
5. Verify Attachment: Lightly tug on the comb to ensure it is firmly attached and will not detach during use.

Operation

This comb trimmer allows for adjustable cutting lengths, typically ranging from 3mm to 20mm. The specific adjustment mechanism may vary slightly by trimmer model, but the general principle involves a sliding or rotating mechanism on the comb itself.

1. Select Length: Locate the adjustment mechanism on the comb trimmer. Slide or rotate it to your desired trimming length. The selected length is usually indicated by markings on the comb.
2. Power On: Turn on your Philips Norelco trimmer.
3. Begin Trimming: Place the flat top of the comb against your skin and move the trimmer slowly against the direction of hair growth. Ensure even pressure for a consistent trim.
4. Clean During Use (Optional): Periodically tap the comb to dislodge accumulated hair, especially during longer trimming sessions.

Maintenance

Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your comb trimmer and shaver.

1. Remove Comb: After each use, turn off and unplug the trimmer. Carefully detach the comb trimmer from the shaver head.
2. Clean Hair: Use a small brush (often included with your trimmer) to remove any loose hairs from the comb and the trimmer head.
3. Rinse (if applicable): If your trimmer and comb are designed for wet use, you may rinse the comb under running water. Ensure it is completely dry before reattaching or storing.
4. Lubrication (Trimmer Head): Refer to your main trimmer's instruction manual for specific lubrication requirements for the blades. The comb itself does not require lubrication.
5. Storage: Store the comb trimmer in a clean, dry place, preferably in its original packaging or a protective case, to prevent damage.

Troubleshooting

• Comb does not fit:

  Ensure the comb trimmer is compatible with your specific Philips Norelco model. Refer to the "Compatibility" section and the "Identifying Your Trimmer Model Number" video. Do not force the comb onto the trimmer.

• Uneven trim:

  Check that the comb is securely attached and set to the desired length. Ensure you are moving the trimmer slowly and consistently against the direction of hair growth. Clean any accumulated hair from the comb and blades.
• Comb feels loose:

  Re-attach the comb, ensuring it clicks firmly into place. If the comb remains loose, it may be damaged or incompatible with your trimmer model.
