Place the pet’s paw

is close to - but not
touching - the sanding disc

extreme caution when operating at
higher speeds and limit the amount of
time that the nail is exposed to the

buildup and injury to the pet. Always
monitor pet for signs of discomfort and
stop grooming if observed.
Support the toe and nail in one hand
while using the rotary tool in the other
hand. This is more comfortable for your
pet as it lessens vibration on the paw.
Pushing gently on the bottom of the
paw’s pad extends the nail slightly for
easier grooming.
It is important to let the speed of the
rotary tool do the work; never apply
pressure to the toenail with the spinning
sanding disc. Pressure may cause the
n a i l t o g r o w t o o h o t , r e s u l t i n g i n
discomfort for your pet. The rotary
tool’s spinning sanding disc should not
be kept against the nail longer than
three seconds at a time. Instead of
focusing on completing one nail at a
time, it is recommended to briefly trim
each nail on one paw, and then the
other, in several passes. This allows
t i m e f o r t h e n a i l s t o c o o l . Y o u m a y
repeat this process as needed. Trim
nails so that they almost touch the
ground when your pet is walking.
Turn the tool off by sliding the tool
switch

to “0” position (Fig. 11).
▶ Pet Safety Tips
Some pets may become nervous in the
presence of the tool so it is best to
secure your pet. The operator will need
both hands to groom the nails so it may
be helpful to have another person assist
in restraining your pet.
If hair is accidentally caught in the
rotary tool, immediately turn off the tool
and untangle the hair from the tool. For
pets with particularly long hair, use an
old sock to cover the toe, foot, and leg
of the pet and isolate the nail. Push the
nail out through a small opening at the
tip of the sock to groom the nail. Keep
s t y p t i c p o w d e r o n h a n d i n c a s e o f
bleeding. Styptic powder is available at
