Introduction
If the tweezers are struggling to grasp and pull out hair, it's time to replace them. Replacing the blades only requires you to disassemble the head of the epilator. You will only need a plastic opening tool or some other prying tool. Be careful when removing the tension clip. It has a tendency to shoot out at high speed when removed. This guide generally takes one to three minutes to complete.

How to sharpen the tweezers without replacing the head.
Take a new emery board, FINE or FINISH side up, and place it down the length of your index finger. Hold it there with your thumb. Turn your Philips Satinelle on the lowest speed.
Hold the device down against the emery board while running it up and down the board, using the entire length. Do this for several minutes using light pressure. If you fell the board heating up quickly, you are pressing to hard. The board should get very warm but not hot.
You are finished when the new emery board is worn out. You can effectively and safely do this multiple times, extending the life of the tweezers for this model.
