4. Operating Instructions
4.1 General Usage
Before grooming, ensure your pet's coat is clean, dry, and free of mats or tangles. Brush the coat thoroughly to remove loose hair and debris. Plug the clipper into a suitable power outlet. Turn the clipper on using the power switch. Hold the clipper firmly and move it smoothly through the pet's coat, following the direction of hair growth for a longer cut or against it for a shorter cut. Always use an appropriate attachment comb to prevent cutting too short or causing skin irritation.
