How do I change the length settings of my Philips Groomer?

Published on 2021-03-03
Your Philips Groomer may come with different trimming combs and attachments. These products can also be used without any attachment to clip the hair very close to your skin. Find out here how to adjust the length settings when using these attachments.

Click-on combs

If your groomer comes with multiple click-on combs, you can use these to get the desired hair length. The numbers on the combs indicate the length of the remaining hair after trimming. Simply click the appropriate comb onto the appliance ​​​​​and start grooming.

Zoom wheel

Some Philips Groomers come with a rotating button on their body, also called the zoom wheel. You can slide the wheel to match the length setting indicated on the handle.
Some models have two rows of length settings. On these models, the different rows refer to short length settings and longer lengths. Always make sure you have attached the compatible comb or cutter for your desired length setting.
