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:

The #10blade is popular blade for use for general and underbody use on a wide variety of dog breeds and is often selected when a reasonably close and or smooth finish is required. Most professional dog groomers will have this blade and probable use it the most within their day to day work.

A good blade use when going with the grain of the coat on the faces or light coloured Poodles, which are easily irritated. Used for the under belly work and also on the ears of terriers. Often selected as the blade to use when stripping off coats which have mats that are to close to the skin to permit the use of other blades. Universally used for bodywork on the Schnauzer.

This blade is especially recommended for use on necks, ears, and the throat of both Cocker, Fox, Irish and Welsh Terriers, ear tips of the West Highland White Terrier, necks and ears of the Lakeland and ears of the Airedale, Bedington, Cairn Yorkshire Terrier. Ideal for the face, feet and base of the tail of Poodles. Use for the ears and throat of Scottish and Sealyham Terriers, and the ears of the Silky Terrier. Use also for the tops of ears on both the English and Irish Setter

Grooming Note: The #10 blade is often a good choice for Poodles with sensitive skins

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.
