USEFUL INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR PRODUCT Essential information For maximum efficiency, durability and satisfaction from Wahl clippers and trimmers, please note the following points:• Regularly apply a few drops of oil to the blades during clipping/trimming. Clipper oil lubricates the blades and will ensure your clippers or trimmers perform to their maximum capacity. Without oil, friction is increased therefore generating heat.
CLIPPING Clipping is ideal for removing hair evenly and creating an appearance that may not be possible with scissors. It is a relatively fast and effective way to obtain a manageable length for the coat, although it may be necessary to provide regular breaks for you and the dog. To achieve the best results, follow the advice below and do not expect to get it right first time. Clipping can take a great deal of practice to achieve a smooth, even finish.
Clipping Basics 1. Place your dog in the area you wish to work. If necessary, secure the dog so it cannot move around too much. If you are using a grooming table it is essential that the dog is prevented from falling off. 2. Hold the clippers in your hand in a similar way to how you would hold a pencil and balance them evenly. 3. Select the length of hair that you wish to leave on the dog. Some clippers feature a taper facility for variable cutting lengths.
Before you Start: • If you have washed the dog, ensure the hair is dry and well combed through, free from any knots or tangles. • Ensure you have the right trimmers for the job. • Oil the blades and check the equipment is in good working order before you start. • Allow the dog time to get accustomed to the noise and vibration of the clippers. • If you are using a rechargeable machine ensure there is sufficient battery charge otherwise the blades may pull at the hair instead of cutting it.
Tips for clipping feet 1. Have the dog sit facing you. Bring the rear leg forward and clip the sides of the foot from the toes to the end of the nail. Clip on top of the toes, stopping at the ankle joint. Do not clip up the ankle. 2. Spread the toes apart with your thumb and forefinger. Trim the hair in between the toes being careful not to nick the skin webbing between the toes. 3. Place your thumb under the pad and apply light upward pressure to spread the bottom pads.
5. With your free hand, stretch the corner of the mouth with your thumb, using the rest of your hand to hold the mouth shut. Clip around the mouth and side of the face then repeat on the other side. 6. Holding the muzzle, clip the area between the eyes and around the nose. To clip the muzzle, clip away from the eyes towards the nose. Hold the dogs head straight, with the chin up, then clip the underneath of the muzzle. The Adam’s apple is normally the stopping point but you may clip lower if necessary. 7.
REAR LEGS & ARMPITS Take extreme care when clipping around the armpit and the flank. It is particularly easy to catch the skin in the clipper blades in these areas and cause injury to the dog. This risk increases in older dogs whose skin has loosened and folds or wrinkles may be present. Tips for clipping the rear legs & armpits 1. Brush the hair on the legs in an upward and outward motion to fluff it up. 2. Start at the foot by clipping any hair that falls over the foot. 3.
EARS Some dog breeds experience excessive hair growth in and around their ears. For breeds such as spaniels, this can inhibit the circulation of air and lead to issues. The ability to trim the hairs around the ear and inside the ear will have positive impact. Tips for clipping ears 1. With the dog facing you, clip from the hair on the ear in the same direction as the coat growth. For upright ears (Fig A) start at the base and clip towards the top. For drop ears, (Fig.

Coat Types Smooth Coats: Smooth and short coated breeds will rarely require clipping. The hair is not prone to knotting and, except in health or medical related situations it is seldom necessary. However, should you need to use clippers then generally a standard set of clippers priced between £30 and £50 will be sufficient. Examples: Weimaraner Staffordshire Bull Terrier Pug Beagle Chihuahua Wire Haired Coats: Dogs with wire haired coats often require either hand stripping or clipping.
Double Coats: There are a wide variety of dog breeds with double coats. Some will require significant clipping, others may just benefit from frequent trimming and tidying. Take advice from a professional dog breeder or groomer if you are unsure what your dog needs. When clipping this coat type, the clipping machine must be powerful and the blades sharp to cope with the dense, soft undercoat and the course outer coat.
