Operating Instructions
Using the Nail Clippers (Fingernail and Toenail)
The set includes two clippers: a smaller one for fingernails and a larger one for toenails. Both feature a rubberized non-slip grip for enhanced control and precision.
- Preparation: Ensure nails are clean and dry. For softer nails, consider trimming after a shower or bath.
- Grip: Hold the clipper firmly with the rubberized handle providing a secure grip. The handle rotates 360 degrees for comfortable positioning.
- Positioning: Place the nail between the sharp, curved blades. For fingernails, follow the natural curve. For toenails, trim straight across to prevent ingrown nails.
- Trimming: Apply steady, even pressure to cut the nail. Avoid cutting too short to prevent discomfort or injury.
- Finishing: Use a nail file (not included) to smooth any rough edges.

Using the Tweezer
The precision tweezer is ideal for removing splinters, stray hairs, or for detailed nail grooming tasks.
- Grip: Hold the tweezer by its rubberized body.
- Application: Align the tips of the tweezer with the item to be removed.
- Removal: Gently squeeze the handles to grasp the item and pull it away.
Maintenance and Care
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and hygiene of your grooming tools.
- Cleaning: After each use, clean the blades of the clippers and the tips of the tweezers. A small brush can remove nail debris. Wipe with an alcohol-soaked cotton pad to disinfect.
- Drying: Ensure all tools are completely dry before storing them to prevent rust, especially since they are made of stainless steel.
- Storage: Store the tools in the provided protective case. This protects them from damage and keeps them hygienic. Keep the case in a dry place.
- Sharpening: The stainless steel blades are designed for long-lasting sharpness. If they become dull over time, consider professional sharpening or replacement.
