2. Blade Lubrication (If Necessary)
The self-sharpening blades generally do not require lubrication. However, if you notice reduced performance or increased noise, a drop of light machine oil (e.g., sewing machine oil) on the blades may help. Consult the Philips support website for specific recommendations.
