Basic Instructions for Fur Care
Best Conditions for Clipping
• Prepare a stable and non-slip work area on a table.
• Get your pet/your dog acquainted to the clipper:
·Step 1: Switch the device on while feeding or playing for several days before the clipping.
That way, you pet can get used to the sound first and connects it to something positive.
·Step 2: Get your pet used to the vibration. For this, hold the device gently to your pet's
head with the blades pointing away from your pet. If your pet wants to sniff the device,
allow this.
Information: Play with your pet/dog and speak to it. The clipping should be fun for you
both. Should your pet be nervous or afraid, postpone the clipping to another day.
• Bathe your pet/dog. Please only use dog shampoo from pet specialist shops (e.g. item
29195). Dry your pet's coat completely, if necessary with a hair dryer (always in the
direction of the hair growth).
• Comb the coat and remove severe mats and tangles. Thorough brushing is extremely im-
portant. It helps your pet/dog to relax and removes the last tangles from the coat. Start
by using a wide-tooth comb (e.g. item 23766) and continue with a finer soft brush (e.g.
item 24132).
• Oil the blade set before & after clipping. Otherwise your right to claim under guarantee
becomes invalid!
Clipping
Each pet/dog is cared for individually according to coat type and breed:
1. Shortening a long coat: Use a blade set/attachment comb of your choice and always clip
in the direction of the hair growth.
2. Short clipping/clipping close to the skin: Use a blade set up to 0.5/0.8 mm (depending on
how the blade head of your clipper can be adjusted) and always clip against the direction
of the hair growth.
3. Comb the coat thoroughly after clipping and remove all shorn-off hair.
