Frequently Asked Questions
How many lengths does it cut?
Ten locked-in lengths from 0.5mm to 10mm, set on the zoom wheel. Turn the wheel and the setting holds while you trim.
How long does it last on a charge?
About 45 minutes of cordless trimming from a full 10-hour charge.
Does it cut quickly?
The Lift and Trim system lifts each hair as it cuts, which Philips rates as 30% faster.
Will it irritate my skin?
The blades have rounded edges designed to sit gently against the skin and reduce scraping and irritation.
Do the blades need sharpening?
No. The stainless steel blades are self-sharpening, so they keep their edge.
How do I clean it?
Brush the trimmings off the blades and clip off the comb to clear the cuttings.
Does it come with a UK plug?
No. It charges with a slim 2-pin European-style plug, not a UK 3-pin plug. It fits a 2-pin shaver socket, or a standard wall socket with an inexpensive 2-pin plug adapter. An adapter is not included.
