How do I use the back attachment of my Philips Body groomer?

Published on 18 September 2025

To shave your back, ensure the shaving head is securely attached to the product. Then slide the back shaving attachment onto the handle until it clicks into place. You’ll know it’s properly attached when you can see the on/off button through the front opening.


Note: the back attachment should only be used in combination with the shaving head, not the trimming head.


Pressing the side button allows you to adjust the angle of the attachment, making it easier to reach different areas of your back.


Turn on the device. Place the shaving head flat against your skin so both the front teeth and the cutting unit make contact. Then gently move the attachment up and down or across your back.


To remove the back attachment, press the release buttons on both sides and pull the handle out gently.
