7. Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure optimal performance and extend the lifespan of your trimmer.

Cleaning the Shaver Head

1. Ensure the trimmer is turned off.
2. Press the release button to detach the shaver head from the trimmer body.
3. Gently tap the shaver head on the edge of a table to dislodge any trapped hair.
4. Use the provided cleaning brush to remove any remaining hair from the shaver head and the trimmer body.
5. Since the trimmer is showerproof, you can rinse the shaver head under running water for a thorough clean. Ensure it is completely dry before reattaching.

Replacing Blades

The blades of your Philips Body Trimmer are interchangeable. If you notice a decrease in performance or blade dullness, spare blades can be purchased separately. To replace the blade:

1. Detach the shaver head as described above.
2. Carefully remove the old blade unit from the shaver head.
3. Insert the new blade unit into the shaver head until it clicks securely into place.
4. Reattach the shaver head to the trimmer body.

8. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your Philips Body Trimmer, refer to the following common solutions:

Trimmer Not Turning On or Intermittent Operation

• Check Battery: Ensure the trimmer is fully charged. The LED indicator should be off when fully charged.
• Clean Contacts: If the trimmer has been exposed to moisture or debris, corrosion might affect the internal contacts. Carefully open the trimmer (refer to maintenance video for guidance) and spray some WD-40 or contact cleaner on the switch and battery contacts.
• Shaver Head Obstruction: Ensure the shaver head is clean and free from hair buildup that might impede blade movement.

Skin Irritation or Nicks

• Ensure you are following the grooming tips in Section 6, especially stretching the skin and applying gentle pressure.
• Always shave against the direction of hair growth for a closer trim, but adjust technique if irritation occurs.
• Consider replacing the shaver head if it is old or damaged, as dull blades can cause pulling and irritation.
