How to Use

1. Prepare Your Pet: Ensure your dog or cat is calm and comfortable before beginning. Consider trimming after exercise or during a relaxed time
2. Position Properly: Hold paw firmly but gently, identifying the quick (pink area inside nail visible in light-colored nails)
3. Angle Correctly: Position clipper at 45-degree angle to nail for natural cut shape
4. Cut Conservatively: Cut small amounts at a time, staying 2mm (about 1/16 inch) away from the quick
5. Check Progress: Examine the cut surface after each snip - stop if you see a gray or pink oval indicating proximity to the quick
6. Trim All Nails: Don't forget dewclaws if present
7. Smooth Edges: File rough edges with a nail file if needed after clipping
8. Reward Your Pet: Give treats and praise throughout and after the session
9. Trim Frequency: Typically every 3-4 weeks or when nails touch the ground while pet is standing

Safety Precautions

• Adult Supervision Required: Keep away from children when not in use
• Avoid the Quick: Never cut into the quick, which contains blood vessels and nerves. This causes pain and bleeding
• Have Styptic Powder Ready: Keep styptic powder or cornstarch nearby in case of minor bleeding from accidentally cutting the quick
• Seek Professional Guidance: If uncertain about nail trimming technique, consult your veterinarian or professional groomer for a demonstration
• Never Force Your Pet: Take breaks if your pet becomes stressed or resistant. Consider breaking session into multiple short sessions
• Regular Blade Inspection: Inspect blades regularly for sharpness and damage. Dull or damaged blades can crush rather than cut nails
• Dark Nails Caution: For pets with dark nails where the quick is not visible, trim very conservatively and watch for a gray or pink oval on the cut surface
• Proper Restraint: Ensure pet is properly restrained but not stressed. Consider having another person help hold your pet
• Stop if Bleeding Occurs: If you accidentally cut the quick, apply styptic powder and pressure. Contact vet if bleeding doesn't stop within 5-10 minutes
• First-Time Users: Consider having a professional demonstrate proper technique before attempting at home

Storage & Maintenance Instructions

• Engage Safety Lock: Always engage safety lock switch after each use to prevent accidental opening
• Dry Storage: Store in dry location away from moisture to prevent rust and corrosion
• Keep Secure: Keep out of reach of children and pets when not in use
• Clean After Use: Wipe blades with rubbing alcohol or disinfectant after each use to remove debris and prevent bacterial growth
• Dry Thoroughly: Ensure blades are completely dry before storing to prevent rust
• Blade Maintenance: For optimal performance, blades may need sharpening or replacement after extended use
• Check Mechanism: Periodically check that safety lock and cutting mechanism function properly
