Introduction

If you have a Philips Norleco face shaver and are noticing that it is becoming less effective, you may need to replace the shaving head blades with new ones. These heads contain small blades that dull over time. Philips Norelco recommends they be replaced every 12 months. In this guide I will show you how to install your new replacement blades.

    • Carefully push the blades out from behind.

    • Although the blades are covered, they can fall apart, exposing sharp edges. Always use care when handling.

This is a good guide thank you.

Replacing these shaver batteries would be a good guide: does anyone know how to do this?

Very well done - better than a video because you don’t need to continually stop, restart and rewind to catch specific details.

The only problem I had was to insert the hinge into the body. Didn't want to push too hard as I was worried I could snap off some plastic parts. Once I had pushed the OLD unit on and off a couple of times the new one went in quite easily ( although the old unit was much more free than the new unit). Many thanks for your instructions - most useful!

How do you change the trimmer blade on back of it ? Or can you ?

Melanie Gettys -

Clear and simple tutorial. Excellent!

Greg Fullmer -

Uh, how does one reset the cutter life timer? Many Norelco shavers have an annoying beep after so many hours of shaving to demand the cutters be replaced. Guessing the instructions in the new cutters say how to reset but that means I would have to purchase new cutters.

Finally found the manual for my Series 8000. To reset the cutter life timer hold the power button for 7 seconds when turning the razor off. To lock the razor (for travel perhaps?) hold the power button for 3 seconds. Then 3 seconds at your destination to turn it on the first time.

What I have learned is if I go to the store (Walmart usually) , I find that the replacement shave blades and the replacement batteries cost more than buying a whole new razor. What's wrong with this picture.?
