DO NOT!

  • Attempt to fit blades to the machine with it connected to the main power supply.
  • 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.)
  • Over tighten the blades in an attempt to force them to clip.
  • Immerse either the machine or cutter head in liquid (oil/diesel/lubricant) of any kind.

BLADE OPERATIONAL USES:

All Wahl "detachable blades" are ice tempered and made in Germany using high carbon steel to give a quality cutting edge.

A popular blade with many dog groomers, it resembles hand scissoring and leaves a smoother finish. Good for blending and use in broken coats. Ideal for Poodles and many cross breeds. Very good when used on an Old English Sheepdog.

Compares also to the Oster #4 or #5 blade

A wide range of attachment combs can be fitted over these blades to provide increased cutting length. Comb attachments should only be used on well-groomed coats and not those, which are tangled or matted.

Comb lengths shown should be added to the blade depth.

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 correct tensioning 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.
