Why is there white grease inside my Philips groomer/trimmer/clipper?

During the manufacturing process, Philips adds a blob of white grease to the rotating metal pin beneath the cutting element of many hair clippers, multi-groomers, and beard trimmers.

This grease is meant to be there and it's intended to keep the pin lubricated for the lifetime of the product.

Please note:

• To ensure optimal product performance, do not remove this grease.
• There is no need to add any additional lubrication to the pin.
• The grease can withstand routine cleaning of the product.

Please refer to the image below as an example.
