ReCOMMeND THAT yOu WATCH OuR VIDeO
BefORe CLIPPING OR CLIPPING yOuR PeT.
Before you use your ConairPET™ 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 blade, a slicker
brush, scissor, 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.

Remove the plastic head guard protecting the
blade. Apply oil across the blades; wipe off
any excess with a dry cloth. Plug the clipper
into electrical outlet; operate on voltage speci-
fied for clipper. Push the ON / OFF switch to
the ON position. When finished cutting hair,
switch clipper to the OFF position, remove
clippings from the blades, using the clean-
ing 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.
MAINTeNANCe Of THe BLADe
Always apply oil to the blades before, during
and after use. This will ensure maximum
cutting performance. Hold clipper away from
your body in a downward position and apply
oil on the front and sides of the cutter blade.
Wipe off excess oil with a soft, dry cloth.
HOW TO use COMB ATTACHMeNTs
Attachment combs serve as clipping/clip-
ping guides. The combs are designed to fit
securely over the blades. To fasten comb onto
the blade, turn clipper to the OFF position,
slide the comb onto the front of the clipper
blade, and snap over the back of the blade. To
remove, push up the attachment comb at the
back of the blade and remove the comb.
Eight comb attachments are included:
8 comb attachments -
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 is required.

To remove cutting comb and cutter only: turn
the clipper to the OFF position, unplug clipper
from outlet. With the cutting comb and cutter
assembly in place, loosen and remove the
fastening screws from the cutting comb (save
the screws). Remove the cutting comb and
lift the cutter from the plastic drive oscillator
(Fig. 1).
To replace cutting comb and cutter after removal
for cleaning, replacement or because they are
cut off realignment, slide the cutter back onto the
plastic drive oscillator. Next, you must make sure
that the small blade (cutter) and the large blade
(cutting comb) are properly aligned. Line up the
new or existing cutting comb with the two screw
holes. Place the original screws, one in each hole,
and lightly tighten.
Next, match the two blades up, point to point,
conforming with the illustration above (Fig. 2).
*The top edge of the cutting comb should be
1/50" to 1/25" (.65mm to 1mm) higher than
the top edge of the cutter. This is important
so that the clipper does not cut too close, or
come in contact with the skin.
*The extreme left tooth of the cutting comb
must cover or be to the extreme left of the first
small tooth of the cutter.
*Be sure that the extreme right big tooth of the
cutter touches the extreme right tooth of the
cutting comb.
Be sure to add a few drops of Conair PETTM
Lubricating Oil to the blades before running.
Don't forget to tighten the screws after the
blades have been aligned.
