DO NOT!

• Touch the blades when moving!
• Switch the machine on with loose or missing blades. (In the interests of safety ensure that both blades are tightly seated.)
• Clip at an angle to the body as this may increase the potential to cut the skin. Try to keep the blade flat to the contour of the body. Stretch any loose skin.
• Not attempt to alter the tension mechanism of the detachable blade set. This is set at the factory, any alteration can affect the performance of your clipper
• Push the clipper blades through the hair in an attempt to force them to clip. Allow the blades to do the work.
• Immerse either the machine or cutter head in liquid (oil/diesel/lubricant) of any kind.

BLADE OPERATIONAL USES:

A similar blade to the Oster 7 skip tooth, but leaving 0.8mm of extra coat length. Of the 17 teeth of the comb blade plate 8 protrude out in line with the blade edge and the remaining 9 are angled upwards to aid penetration.

The closest of the "skip" tooth blades, it is often used when it becomes necessary to strip down a dog. Groomers will find it extremely effective when used in situations where it is desirable to blend the coat from a close work area into a flowing longer coat texture. Makes a useful blade for a short Terrier finish.

A popular blade in many grooming parlours it is used on a wide rang of dogs including: -

The Airedale: often head, throat. On Cocker and English Springer Spaniel: used on the body, sides, back and the tail. On the English Cocker Spaniel: used on the body, back and sides, as well as the front of the forelegs. English & Irish Setters, the blade is used for the body, sides and back. Schnauzer: used for the body, sides and back. Can be used for bodywork on many of the various Poodle clips.

This blade is also recommended for cats with normal coat conditions as well in case with "some" matting. Cats with very matted coats the #10 blade is recommended.

We have not found any attachment combs, which can be fitted over these blades to provide increased cutting length.

BLADE INFORMATION:

All whom clip should be aware that irrespective of either the type and make of machine used or the type of blades selected ALL blades can become blunt at a moment's notice. This is not normally connected with, nor a fault of, the clipping machine, but more likely one of several factors most common of which are (not in any order of priority!)

1. In sufficient oiling by the operator
2. Incorrect or bad sharpening
3. Dirt and dust accumulated in the animals coat

ALWAYS HAVE A SPARE SET OF SHARPENED BLADES AVAILABLE BEFORE YOU START TO CLIP AN ANIMAL

Blade Storage:

When not in use, and having been thoroughly cleaned and oiled, the blades should be wrapped in a "grease" proof type paper and stored in a dry place preferably in your house. Any traces of rust will diminish the operational performance of the blades and may subsequently affect the clipping performance.

Do not leave in blades in tack rooms or stables. The same should apply to your clipper.
