release button while turning the collet nut clockwise until it locks into place. Using the
wrench provided, turn the collet nut clockwise until sanding drum is tight (Figure D).
To replace a sanding band: Using the small screwdriver tip on the wrench provided, loosen
the screw on top of the sanding drum and slide the old band off. Slide the new sanding
band on and expand the drum by tightening the screw again (Figure E).
IMPORTANT: Before each use, check that the drum is sufficiently expanded to secure the
band during use. If the band is loose it may cause injury.
BEFORE GRINDING
Before grinding the dog's nails:
1. Get the dog used to having his paws touched and handled before showing him the
nail grinder. Take a few minutes to manipulate his paws while giving him positive
reinforcement.
2. Let him sniff the nail grinder while it is turned off.
3. Turn the grinder on so he can get used to the sound it makes. Have him sit while the tool
is in your hand and running.
4. Once the dog is used to the tool, try touching it to his nails. Do not do any actual
grinding yet.
5. You may need to repeat the above steps a few times.
NAIL ANATOMY
Before grinding your dog's nails, you need to be able to identify the "quick" of the nail
(Figure F). The quick is the inner soft part of the nail containing blood vessels and nerve
endings; it is surrounded by a hard outer cover. Should you hit or cut the quick, the dog will
feel pain and may bleed.
In dogs with light colored nails, the quick is usually a pinkish color, which makes it easier to
avoid. In dogs with dark colored nails, the quick is usually a dark spot in the middle of the
grinding area. In both cases, grind a little at a time, and keep checking for the quick.
DOG SAFETY AND AUTOMATIC SHUT-OFF
The dog should be secured during grinding process. It might be helpful to have another
person help to restrain the dog if necessary.
Keep hair away from spinning parts. If hair gets entangled in the tool, or excess
pressure is applied to grinding wheel, unit will stop automatically. If unit stops
automatically, it will reset itself and restart after a few seconds, once pressure or hair
is cleared.
GRINDING NAILS
Your Andis nail grinder comes with variable speed operation. Use the lower settings for most
nail grinding needs. Use the higher settings for large dogs.
1. Turn on nail grinder; it will start at middle speed. To change speeds, click the (–) or (+)
speed buttons.
2. Separate the dog's toes by placing your thumb between the pads and hold foot securely.
Push long hair away from the foot to avoid tangling or pulling. You can try placing a nylon
stocking over the foot and pushing nails through the nylon to allow easy access to nails
while keeping hair out of the way.
3. Support the toe and nail in one hand while using the nail grinder in the other hand. This
keeps vibrations to a minimum and is more comfortable for the dog.
