It is recommended to do the following:
-Hold the tip of the blade down against the skin and hold the back at an angle. The shorter the blade, the greater the angle. Don't let the blade skip along the skin. If necessary, use your other hand to gently pull the skin taut and allow the blade to move smoothly over any area being treated.
-Go with the grain of the hair. This results in more natural-looking cuts. If you cut perpendicular to the hairline, you'll end up with marks or cut lines. Start near the head and continue down the back to the buttocks, then down the extremities.
If your horse's hair is particularly thick or flat, you can try going backward against the grain of the hair. This technique is quite easy, as you'll only need to start at the bottom of the hind legs and work your way up to the rump. Then, continue over the back to the neck and the back of the head. For this cut, you should go straight against the grain of the hair, without deviating.

Here are some tips about this product:
-It should be noted that when it comes to horse grooming clippers, the higher the number on the blade, the shorter and finer the cut. Therefore, it's ideal to use an A5 type blade.
-The user must ensure they are using a blade that works well. This is why it's always a good idea to frequently touch it with your wrist while clipping, regardless of the blade being used, to ensure it isn't getting too hot. When using a hot blade, it's ideal to use a cooling product to avoid irritating the horse's skin.
-It is also important to clean the blades with a disinfectant liquid, placing them in a container with this substance to clean the micropores of the blade and thus prevent rust.
