SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
THIS PRODUCT IS INTENDED FOR HOME USE

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS:

-Using your thumb, apply light to moderate pressure to the animal’s pads in order to separate their toes. Hold paw firmly.

-Turn grinder “ON”. The “ON/OFF” switch is located on the front of the grinder.

-For best results, start grinding from the bottom of the nail, slowly moving toward the tip. Apply consistent pressure, moving the grinder from side to side

of each nail.

-CAUTION: Do not over-grind or apply excessive pressure. (See FIG.1 ‘Nail Anatomy’ for further information to safely grind your pets nails.)

-To avoid tangling of hair on long-haired breed dogs, push hair away from pet’s paw before applying the grinder. (Tip: Use a small nylon stocking or sock

over the pet’s paw and push the nails through a hole at the end to ensure only the nails are exposed.)

-For larger dogs, position the front paw forward in order to grind nails.

-For smaller dogs, hold their paw up and position it below their body. Pay extra caution not to entangle hair.

Accessories Key

• 2 Large Sanding Drums

• 5 Sanding Bands

• Instruction Book

Requires 2 C Batteries (Not Included)

How To Trim

-Make sure the dog is relaxed and comfortable.

-Have the dog sit and talk to him/her softly to keep them calm.

-Always include a favorite treat during the session and at the end.

-Have a styptic powder or cornstarch readily available in plentiful amount.

-Grasp the foot from the ankle up in the palm of your hand, firmly but gently.

-Position the grinder under the nail.

-Trim off a little of each nail. Be sure to avoid trimming into the ‘quick’.

-If bleeding occurs, use styptic powder or cornstarch to stop the bleeding.

NAIL ANATOMY:

-Before you begin trimming your pet’s nails, you will need to identify the ‘quick’ of the nail. The diagram (FIG.1) will help you identify the basic nail

anat my. The outer nail is hard and has no nerve endings and protects the inner soft part of the nail, known as the ‘quick’. The quick has nerve
endings, tiny blood vessels and is very sensitive should you accidently cut or grind into it. With lighter colored nails, the quick can usually be
seen which will make it easier to avoid while grinding. Dark colored nails may not allow you to see where the quick is. While grind­ing, keep checking the nail and watch for a dark spot in the middle of the grinding area. This spot will indicate the start of the quick
and that you should not grind any further. Please also reference the diagram for the appropriate angle for trimming the nail.

45º 45º

What To Do If Accidentally Hit The Quick:

If by chance you happen to hit the quick of a nail and the nail starts to bleed, don’t allow your dog to wrench away from you and run around. Hold him
firm and reassure him that you know it hurts, your pet trusts you. You also need to get styptic or corn starch onto the end of the nail. Simply keep the
original grasp you had on the paw and press the powder to the end of the nail until the bleeding stops. You may have to keep packing powder for two to
three minutes, but the longer you are able to apply steady pressure, the more effectively you will stop the bleeding. Don’t be concerned if your dog wants
to lick the wound after initial bleeding stops. Do keep him from prancing about for at least fifteen minutes. Bleeding should stop within 15 minutes, if the
nail is bleeding freely after 30 minutes of applying pressure and powder call your veterinarian.

CHANGING ATTACHMENTS:

-Ensure grinder is in the “OFF” or “O” position before changing attachments.

-Unscrew the protective cap

-Holding the grinding drum between your fingers firmly, loosen the single screw on the top of the grinding drum by turning the screw counter clockwise.

-Slide off the sanding band and replace with a new sanding band.

-Retighten the screw on top of the grinding drum.

-Screw on the protective cap

APPLYING SANDING BANDS TO GRINDING DRUM:

-Select either the 60 or 100 grit sanding band (60 grit medium sanding band for quick and efficient grinding down of your pet’s nail;

100 grit fine sanding band for smoothing uneven rough nails.)

-Place the sanding band over the grinding drum until it is in place (please note, you will find it sits loosely over the grinding drum).

In order to properly secure its placement, use a screw driver at the top of the grinding drum. Screwing it in a clockwise direction will allow the drum to
expand, creating the perfect fit.

MAINTENANCE

-After each use, remove any debris and dust from grinder by using a soft brush.

-To clean housing, use a soft, dry cloth.

-For maximum efficiency, ensure grinding attachments and sanding bands are properly replaced when worn or blunt.

-Periodically examine tool for any wear or damage. See Service and Repair.

-To order replacement accessories, please contact Wahl at 1-800-PRO-WAHL.

HOW TO CHANGE THE BATTERIES

-When the battery is low, the speed of the unit will be slower. This means it is time to change your batteries.

-Please make sure the grinder is in the “OFF”, or “O”, position before changing batteries.

-The battery door is located on the bottom of the grinder. Hold the unit with one hand and unscrew the bottom cap (battery door) with the other hand.

-Once 2C Alkaline batteries are placed within the shaft of the grinder, replace the bottom cap by screwing in all the way.
