BLADE SELECTION GUIDE
The convenient, thumb-adjustable, multi-cut lever found on most Wahl Clippers provides for increased cutting variations with fewer blades. In the uppermost position,
cut is very fine and becomes gradually coarser as the lever is moved downward. The following chart illustrates the cutting range of each set of blades according to
accepted pet industry grooming standards
CLIPPING LENGTH GUIDE: plastic blade attachments. The Blade Attachment Lever should always be in the "fine" position when the Blade Attachments are being
used.

--Designed to quickly attach and lock securely in place.
--Fits all models of Wahl Adjustable Blade Clippers.
--These attachments enable you to increase the cutting range of any Wahl Adjustable Blade Set in 1/4" increments, allowing for a longer cut without the purchase of
additional blade sets.

GROOMING HORSES
When clipping large animals, care should be taken as some animals may be nervous around the noise and vibration of the clipper.
BEFORE YOU CUT
1) Make sure clipper is clean and in perfect working condition.
2) Sponge down your horse with clean water and towel dry. Then comb and brush the longer mane and tail.
CUTTING HAIR
1) Start with the front legs. Clipping with the grain (or lay) of the hair will give a slightly longer cut. The leg can be clipped while the hoof is on the ground or with the
leg in your hand. Clip the fetlocks, being careful around joints and projections. Proceed with all four legs.
2) Clip the hair around the muzzle, chin and ears. All the hair on the outside of the ears can be clipped, but avoid clipping the hair on the inside. Be careful, also,
when clipping the hair on the edges of the ears; do not hold the clipper with the blades pointing toward the edges, but parallel to the edges.
3) If you wish to shorten the hair on the mane and tail, hold the hair between your index and middle fingers with the amount of hair you wish to cut protruding above
your fingers. Then cut that hair off with a parallel stroke across fingers.
4) To thin the hair on the tail and mane, hold your clipper upside down with the blades pointed in toward the hair. Then, starting at the top of the hair and lightly strok-
ing downward in a combing-like manner, remove just a little hair at a time.
5) Hair on the body of the horse can either be cut or left longer for weather protection and additional padding. Remember when clipping, that less hair is removed
when cutting with the grain; more hair is removed when cutting against the grain of the hair.
6) When you are finished, clean the clipper and oil the blades before packing it away.
GROOMING AND STYLING YOUR DOG
Assemble your supplies: Clipper, oil, blades, screwdriver, slicker brush, attachment combs and comb, scissors, tear-free shampoo, dryer, rubber bath
mat, nail cutters.
Be sure all your equipment is in good working condition and easy to reach.
Grooming should be done on a solid table (about 30" high) with a non-slip surface to give your dog a steady and secure footing. A grooming post to secure the dog
would be of considerable aid. Good lighting is essential. The light should be adequately bright and evenly distributed; there should be no shadows.
Steps in Grooming
1) Brush out coat thoroughly
(a) Remove all snarls, knots, tangles and mats.
(b) Part the hair and brush on 1" sections-brush from the skin out.
2) Bath Time
