SAVE THESE
INSTRUCTIONS
Before you use your ConairPET
TM
pet clipper for the
first time, familiarize yourself with the entire clipper
kit. Your kit includes the clipper unit with an adjustable
blade assembly, comb attachments to use over the
blades, scissors, a metal comb, cleaning brush and
lubricating oil.
A proper work surface, such as a grooming table or
a kitchen counter or picnic table, is essential to the
safety of your pet during the grooming session. Place a
nonslip rubber bath mat or rubber-backed bath rug on
the raised surface where grooming will take place. Be
sure to keep your hands in continual contact with your
pet, so he doesn’t jump or fall off and get hurt. If you
are doing the grooming alone, you can use a collar and
a short lead to keep him stable.
Your pet must be thoroughly brushed, bathed and
dried before you can clip him accurately. All mats and
tangles must be combed out of the coat before the
clipper is applied to it, or the clipper will be unable to
cut properly. After bathing your pet, towel him until he
is damp, then finish drying with a pet-friendly dryer.
Brush coat while you are drying to straighten coat and
to remove any mats or tangles you may have missed
before the bath. When finished drying, make sure you
can run a comb easily through the coat.
Make sure your pet is not apprehensive about his first
experience with the clipper. Turn on the clipper and
hold it close to your pet until he accepts the sound of
the clipper. Next, hold the clipper up against him until
he seems comfortable. Do this several times while
constantly reassuring him, before you begin the first
grooming session.
OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
Remove the plastic head guard protecting the blades.
Apply oil across the blades; wipe off any excess with
a dry cloth. Plug the clipper into electrical outlet;
operate on voltage specified for clipper. Push the
on/off switch to the “I-ON” position.When finished
cutting hair, switch clipper to the “0-OFF” position,
remove clippings from the blades, using the cleaning
brush. Wipe the housing clean with a dry cloth. Before
replacing head guard, apply a few drops of lubricating
oil to the blades to prevent any rust from occurring.
HOW TO USE COMB ATTACHMENTS
Comb attachments serve as clipping guides. The
combs are designed to fit securely over the blades.
To fasten comb onto the blades, turn clipper to the
“0-OFF” position, slide the comb onto the front of the
clipper blades, and snap over the back of the blades.
To remove, push up the comb attachments at the back
of the blades and remove the comb.
Eight comb attachments are included:
1/8" (3mm) 1/4" (6mm) 3/8" (9.5mm)
1/2" (13mm) 5/8" (16mm) 3/4" (19mm)
7/8" (22mm) 1" (25mm)
Depending upon the breed and the length of hair,
choose the most appropriate guide. Increasing
blade tension to force blades to cut can cause the
clipper to overheat and reduce motor life. When the
cutting blades no longer cut smoothly, sharpening or
replacement is required.
ADJUSTABLE TAPER LEVER
The taper lever is positioned at your thumb. You can
hold the clipper in your hand and adjust the lever at the
same time, while you are clipping.
The taper lever adjusts the closeness of the cut from
a close cut with the taper lever in the up position, to
a longer length cut with the taper lever in the down
