Using the appliance Note: Make sure your hair is clean and dry. Do not use the appliance on freshly washed hair.

Clipping with click-on comb

-- To clip in the most effective way, move the appliance against the direction of hair growth. -- Since hair grows in different directions, you need to move the appliance in different directions (upwards, downwards or across). -- Make overlapping passes over the head to ensure that the appliance catches all hairs that need to be cut. -- Make sure that the flat part of the hair clipping comb is fully in contact with the scalp to obtain an even clipping result. -- If you wish to shape contours, tilt the appliance. -- Regularly remove cut hair from the hair clipping comb. If a lot of hair has accumulated in the comb, remove it from the appliance and blow and/or shake the hair out of it.

1 Place the desired comb onto the appliance (‘click’) (Fig. 5). 2 Switch on the appliance (Fig. 10). 3 Place the comb on the scalp and move the appliance through the hair slowly.

Replace the cutting unit if it is damaged or worn. Only replace the cutting unit with an original Philips cutting unit (see ‚Ordering accessories‘).

This chapter summarizes the most common problems you could encounter with the appliance. If you are unable to solve the problem with the information below, visit www.philips.com/support for a list of frequently asked questions or contact the Consumer Care Center in your country.

Detaching and attaching click-on combs

1 To detach a comb from the cutting element, push the hook at the back of the comb upwards, then unhook it at the front (Fig. 4). 2 To attach a comb onto the cutting element, hook it onto the front of the cutting element and push it down at the back (‚click‘) (Fig. 5).

Preparing for use Use the adjustment lever on the left side of the appliance to set the desired hair length. Move the adjustment lever upwards to reduce the cutting length and move it downwards to increase the cutting length. When you hear a click, you have reached the next length setting (Fig. 6).

Fine adjustment You can reduce the cutting length manually to clip even closer to the skin, but make sure that the cutter does not emerge above the guard to avoid cutting yourself. 1 To reduce the cutting length manually, loosen the screws by turning the screwdriver a quarter turn (Fig. 7). Make sure that you only loosen the screws instead of completely unscrewing them. 2 Push the guard upwards until it is at the required length setting (Fig. 8). 3 Tighten the screws. Note: When you loosen or tighten the screws, the guard can move. To keep it in position, hold the sides of the guard in place while you tighten the screws (Fig. 9). 4 The cutter should not emerge above the guard. To check this, switch on the appliance and study the cutter and guard closely, preferably from the back. If the cutter emerges above the guard, adjust it as described above.

Switching the appliance on and off 1 To switch on the appliance, push the on/offslide upwards (Fig. 10). 2 To switch off the appliance, push the on/offslide downwards (Fig. 10).

Clipping without click-on comb You can use the appliance without click-on comb to clip your hair very close to the skin or to shape specific areas. 1 Detach the click-on comb (Fig. 4). 2 Switch on the appliance (Fig. 10). 3 To obtain an even clipping result, place the appliance flat on the skin. Move the appliance slowly and smoothly.

Shaping 1 Detach the click-on comb (Fig. 4). 2 Switch on the appliance (Fig. 10). 3 To shape contours, turn the appliance and make downward strokes. Move the appliance slowly and smoothly.

Cleaning and maintenance Warning: Keep the appliance and the mains cord dry. Only clean the appliance and the mains cord with the cleaning brush supplied. Caution: Never use compressed air, scouring pads, abrasive cleaning agents or aggressive liquids such as alcohol, petrol or acetone to clean the appliance. Caution: Do not use any sharp objects to clean the appliance. Clean the appliance after every use. 1 Make sure the appliance is switched off and disconnected from the mains. 2 Detach the click-on comb (Fig. 4). 3 Clean the cutting unit and the click-on comb with the cleaning brush supplied (Fig. 11, Fig. 12). 4 For optimal clipping performance, lubricate the cutter frequently with clipper oil (Fig. 13).

Storage Put the protection cap on the appliance to prevent damage (HC5100 only).

Replacing the blade 1 Hold the cutting unit in place with your thumb and remove the screws in the cutting unit carefully with a screwdriver (Fig. 14). 2 Remove the guard gently and slowly. When you do so, the spring and cutter emerge. Make sure you hold the appliance above a surface to prevent the spring and cutter from falling onto the floor. 3 Place the new cutter onto the spring. Note: the holes in the cutter fit exactly onto the projections in the spring (Fig. 15). 4 Place the back of the guard onto the top of the handle, and gently push it onto the cutter, pushing the cutter and spring downwards (Fig. 16). 5 Hold the cutting unit in place by placing your thumb between the two holes in the guard (Fig. 17). 6 With your other hand, put the screws back into place one by one (Fig. 18). 7 Fasten the screws with a screwdriver. 8 Perform the fine adjustment procedure (see‚ Fine adjustment‘).
