Operating Instructions
How to Groom Your Pet
- Preparation: Ensure your pet's coat is clean, dry, and completely tangle-free. Brush out any mats or knots thoroughly. If your pet's hair is very long and thick, use the included stainless steel scissors to pre-trim it to a manageable length before using the clipper. This prevents the clipper from jamming.
- Power On: Press the power switch to turn on the clipper. The Power LCD will display the current battery level.
- Start Grooming: Hold the clipper at a comfortable angle and gently move it against the direction of hair growth. Use smooth, even strokes. Avoid pressing too hard against the pet's skin.
- Monitor Pet: Observe your pet's reaction during grooming. The low-noise design is intended to keep pets calm, but take breaks if your pet shows signs of stress or discomfort.
- Check Blades: Periodically check the blades for hair buildup. Turn off the clipper and use the cleaning brush to remove any accumulated hair to maintain optimal cutting performance.
- Power Off: Once grooming is complete, press the power switch to turn off the clipper.
Tip: Always start with a longer guide comb and gradually switch to shorter ones if a closer cut is desired, especially when grooming a new pet or a new area.
Maintenance
Cleaning the Clipper
- Turn off the clipper and disconnect it from the charging cable.
- Remove any attached guide comb.
- Remove the Blade: Gently push the blade assembly off the clipper body for thorough cleaning.
- Use the included cleaning brush to remove loose hair from the blade and the clipper body.
- Rinsing: The clipper is IPX5 waterproof. You can rinse the blade and the clipper head under running water to remove stubborn hair and debris.
- Important: Do not soak the entire clipper in water. Only the blade and clipper head are designed for rinsing.
- Allow all parts to air dry completely before reassembling or storing the clipper.
Blade Lubrication
For optimal performance, reduced friction, and extended blade life, apply a few drops of clipper oil (not included) to the blades after each cleaning, especially if they have been rinsed with water. Turn the clipper on for a few seconds to distribute the oil evenly.
Storage
Store the clipper and its accessories in the provided storage bag in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Ensure the clipper is fully charged before long-term storage.
