4. Safety Instructions
- Always ensure the clipper is turned off before cleaning, attaching/detaching blades or combs, or performing maintenance.
- Keep the clipper away from water or damp environments. Do not use it while bathing your pet.
- Do not disassemble the clipper yourself. Contact customer support for repairs.
- Keep out of reach of children and pets when not in use.
- Use only the provided USB cable for charging.
- Regularly check the blades for damage. Do not use if blades are chipped or broken, as this may cause injury to your pet.
- Ensure your pet's coat is clean and dry before grooming to prevent blade dulling and ensure smooth operation.
- Avoid pressing the clipper too hard against your pet's skin.
- If the clipper becomes hot during prolonged use, turn it off and allow it to cool down before continuing.
5. Setup
- Initial Charge: Before first use, fully charge the clipper. Connect the USB charging cable to the clipper's charging port and plug the other end into a suitable USB power adapter (not included) or a computer USB port. The LED display will show charging progress. A full charge takes approximately 3 hours.
- Oiling the Blades: Apply 1-2 drops of the provided lubricating oil to the blades before each use. Turn on the clipper for a few seconds to distribute the oil evenly. This ensures smooth operation and extends blade life. The LED display will show an oil reminder icon when lubrication is needed.
- Attaching Guide Combs: Select the desired guide comb length. Align the comb with the clipper blade and slide it on until it clicks securely into place. Ensure it is firmly attached before starting grooming.
6. Operating Instructions
Before grooming, ensure your pet's coat is clean, dry, and free of tangles. Brushing your pet beforehand can help achieve a smoother cut.
- Turn On/Off: Press the power button to turn the clipper on. Press again to switch between the two speed settings. Long-press the power button for 3 seconds to activate or deactivate the safe lock function.
- Select Guide Comb: Choose an appropriate guide comb based on the desired hair length. Start with a longer comb if you are unsure, and you can always switch to a shorter one.
- Grooming Technique: Hold the clipper firmly and move it in the direction of hair growth. Use smooth, even strokes. For sensitive areas, exercise extra caution and use smaller, gentle movements.
- Monitor Pet's Comfort: Pay attention to your pet's reactions. If they show signs of discomfort or stress, take a break. The low noise design helps keep pets calm.
- Check Battery: The LED display shows the remaining battery percentage. Recharge the clipper when the battery is low to avoid interruptions during grooming.
