3.2.Preparing the coat before stripping
NB!
Do not wash the dog’s coat for a week or
two before stripping.
Comb the coat thoroughly and remove or comb
out tangles. If the dog has a lot of undercoat, it
must be removed using special tools. This
makes stripping considerably easier. If the dog
has soft hair on its legs or elsewhere, or if it has
been trimmed with clippers and the hair has
softened, do not strip these areas using the
machine. We recommend you familiarise your-
self with breed-speci
fi
c trimming instructions
beforehand.
4. USE
4.1. General
Once you've done the preparations and re-
moved tangles you can start the trimming. The
machine is moved against the grain. When
moved against the grain, the stripping motion is
done with the grain, just like when hand-
stripped.
NB!
Adjust the stripping power only when the de-
vice is turned on (
fi
g. 6)
Always set the stripping power to the minimum
before you
fi
nish using the machine (
fi
g. 7). If
the stripping power remains set to high, the
