Operating Instructions
Pre-Grooming Preparation
For best results and to ensure your pet's comfort, follow these steps:
- Bathe and Dry Your Pet: Ensure your pet's coat is clean and completely dry. Dirt and tangles can dull the blades and cause discomfort.
- Comb the Hair: Thoroughly comb your pet's hair to remove any knots or mats. This helps the trimmer glide smoothly.
- Trim Knotted Hair: Use the included scissors to carefully trim any stubborn knots or heavily matted areas before using the trimmer.
