TRIMMING HORSES
This product is suitable for
trimming areas including face,
ears, head and fetlocks.
It is not designed as a full body clipper.
When using any electrical appliance
around horses Wahl recommend the use of a circuit
breaker to minimise risk.
Whilst trimming take time to regularly brush hairs and dirt
from the blades. We recommend that you use a blade
wash to ensure grease and dirt particles are washed from
the blade surface. This wash should be applied regularly
during usage. Always re-oil the blades after using the
blade wash and wipe away any excess fluid.
GENERAL ADVICE
1. This appliance is designed for trimming horses and
ponies. Ensure the horse is dry, as clean as
possible and brushed thoroughly to remove grease
and dirt from the coat.
2. Ideally have a responsible person to hold the horse
whilst you are trimming.
3. Position the trimmer with the blade flat to the coat
surface (45 degrees).
4. Without applying any downward pressure, pass the
appliance through the coat working against the lay of
the hair.
5. Do not push the trimmer through the coat too quickly
– this may cause hairs to get between the blades and
separate them, thus reducing performance.
6. Always keep the flat surface of the blades against the
coat – do not push the teeth of the blades into the skin
or operate the trimmer at 90 degrees.
7. When negotiating areas with folds of skin (elbows, chin
e.t.c) pull out the skin to avoid the folds catching
between the blades and cutting the animal.
8. To achieve an even finish apply consistent pressure
and clip against the hair.
9. To reduce the closeness of the cut the trimmer can be
used following the lie of the hair.
10. Regularly use the cleaning brush to flick away any hair
from the blades and apply oil frequently.
