Setup
- Unpack: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Inspect the clipper and accessories for any damage.
- Initial Blade Check: Ensure the blade is securely attached to the clipper. If not, refer to the 'Blade Installation/Removal' section under Maintenance.
- Lubricate Blades: Before first use, apply a few drops of the provided blade oil to the teeth and sides of the blade. This ensures smooth operation and prolongs blade life.
- Attach Guide Comb: Select the desired guide comb (3mm, 6mm, 9mm, 12mm, 15mm, or 18mm) based on the desired hair length. Align the comb with the clipper blade and slide it on until it clicks securely into place. Ensure it is firmly attached before use.

Operating Instructions
- Preparation: Ensure the pet's coat is clean, dry, and free of tangles. Brush the coat thoroughly before clipping.
- Power Connection: Plug the clipper into a suitable power outlet.
- Select Speed: The clipper features two speeds. Use the switch to select the desired speed. Lower speed is suitable for sensitive areas or finer coats, while higher speed is for thicker coats or faster grooming.
- Clipping Technique: Hold the clipper firmly and move it gently against the direction of hair growth. Maintain an even pressure and avoid pressing too hard against the pet's skin. Work in small sections.
- Monitor Blade Temperature: Periodically check the blade temperature. If it becomes too hot, turn off the clipper, remove the blade, and allow it to cool. Using a hot blade can cause discomfort to the pet.
- Completion: After grooming, unplug the clipper from the power outlet.

Maintenance
Cleaning the Blades
Regular cleaning and oiling are crucial for optimal performance and longevity of your clipper.
- Unplug: Always ensure the clipper is unplugged before cleaning.
- Remove Hair: Use the provided cleaning brush to remove any hair trapped between the blades and within the clipper head.
- Blade Oiling: After each use, apply 2-3 drops of blade oil across the top of the blade teeth and one drop on each side of the blade. Run the clipper for a few seconds to distribute the oil evenly. This reduces friction, prevents rust, and keeps the blades sharp.
- Blade Installation/Removal: To remove the blade, gently push the blade forward until it detaches. To install, align the blade with the clipper housing and push it back until it clicks into place.
