5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Power and Speed Control
The UILFHX clippers feature a 600W motor and a variable 6-speed control, allowing for precise grooming based on the animal's coat and sensitivity.
- Low Speed (1-3): Provides precise performance suitable for sensitive areas such as the neck and legs of a horse.
- High Speed (4-6): Delivers maximum power for faster trimming and full body shaving.

5.2 Clipping Technique
Ensure the animal is calm and secured before beginning. Always move the clippers smoothly against the direction of hair growth for an even cut. Regularly check blade temperature and lubricate as needed.

6. Maintenance

Lubricating the blades is essential for preventing jamming, reducing heat, and extending the lifespan of the machine. Apply a proper amount of lubricating oil to the injection hole of the machine head before and periodically during use. Due to shipping restrictions, lubricating oil is not included and must be purchased separately.
6.2 Cleaning
After each use, clean the blades thoroughly with the provided cleaning brush to remove hair and debris. Ensure the dust-proof net at the air outlet is also cleaned to maintain proper heat dissipation.
6.3 Carbon Brush Replacement
Regularly check the carbon brushes for wear. Replace them in a timely manner to ensure consistent motor performance. Two extra carbon brushes are included in your package.
