Operating Instructions

Preparing Your Pet

Acclimating your pet to the Dremel PawControl is crucial for a stress-free grooming experience. Begin by allowing your pet to become familiar with the tool's sound and vibration. Turn on the tool and hold it near your pet, offering praise and treats. Gradually introduce the tool to their paw, allowing them to feel the vibration on their paw before beginning to trim their nails.

Nail Trimming Process

The Dremel PawControl features a variable speed slide switch with 4 adjustable speed settings (8000 RPM to 25000 RPM) for precise control based on your pet's size and nail thickness.

1. Select a low speed setting initially, increasing as your pet becomes comfortable.
2. Firmly support the toe and nail in one hand. Gently push the bottom of the paw pad to extend the nail slightly for easier grooming.
3. Position the pet nail guard attachment over the nail. The 45-degree angle guides the nail for optimal trimming.
4. Gently trim the tips of your pet's nail. Spend no more than 3 seconds on each nail to prevent heat buildup and allow the nails to cool.
5. Repeat for all nails, providing praise and treats throughout the process.
