WAHL Performer Pet Clipper Kit

Clipper blade Precision ground blades are produced from rust resistant, high carbon steel meaning they are durable, stay sharper for longer and easily cut through fine, short and coarse coats. Taper Lever The taper lever on the side of the clipper smoothly moves the blades to give variable cutting lengths ranging from 0.7 mm to 1.5 mm. Cutting guide combs The guide combs give additional cutting lengths, grades 1-4 are included in the kit.Grade 1 is 3 mm, grade 2 is 6 mm, grade 3 is 10 mm and grade 4 is 13 mm. Before you start - Know the type of coat that your dog has and be sure you are using the correct tools - Thick, double or dense coats require a more powerful clipper Attachment combs - The attachment combs offer various length options. Decide on the length of coat you wish to
leave on the dog. The combs are available in numbers one-eight, with one being the shortest Tip: If you are not sure what length you want, use a longer grade, you can always go shorter if needed. Grooming tools - Have all your grooming tools to hand so you don't have to leave your pet once you have started Tip: Basic tools include Electric clipper, Brush, Comb, Clipper oil, Electric trimmer, Round end scissors, Pin brush, De-tangler and Blade cleaning brush. Blade maintenance - Check the clipper blades are sharp, free from rust and have no broken teeth. This will ensure the coat is cut evenly, not snagged or pulled Tip: Ensure the coat is clean, dry and brushed through before you begin clipping. Blade maintenance - Oil you clipper blades before you start and regularly remove
clipped hair and re-oil as you continue clipping - Groom the dog regularly for short periods of time and reward the dog with positive reinforcement Tip: Turn the clippers or trimmers on before putting them close to the dog to reduce any stress and de-sensitise. Clipping and trimming - Place the flat side of the blade against the body of the dog and move the clippers through the hair following the lay of the coat. To ensure you achieve an even finish, always clip in the direction of the hair growth Tip: If you wish to reduce the length of hair left on your dog, you can clip against the lay of the coat, but take care not to catch the skin between the blades. Clipping and trimming - When clipping or trimming areas with folds or wrinkles of skin, use your spare hand to stretch the skin to
prevent the blades cutting or catching the skin - Never dig the blade into your dog's coat or bury the teeth into the fur - Always keep the blade flat against the hair as you clip Trimmer and grooming - A smaller trimmer which has a narrower blade is useful when finishing the legs, feet, face, ears and harder to reach areas - Once finished, brush the coat to remove any loose hair - Always clean and oil the blades before storing them away Box Contains 1 x Mains Clipper(Fitted with a UK 3-pin plug) 4 x Attachment combs (1-4) 1 x Scissors 1 x Blade Guard 1 x Blade Oil 1 x Cleaning Brush Instructions
