It is recommended to follow these steps to use the shearing machine:
-Prepare the clipper. At the beginning of any clipping task, before turning on the clipper, hold it so the blades are facing sideways or downward. Next, spread a thin layer of clipper lubricating oil along the top blade and then turn on the machine for about 30 seconds.
-During clipping. If you're clipping the horse's coat, do so for 10 to 15 minutes, then dip the blades in a blade cleaner (in a shallow container) to remove any hair caught between the clipper teeth.
-Post-trimming care. Once trimming is complete, remove the blades and use a small, short-bristled brush to clean them.
Tips.
It's important to properly care for your clipper blades to ensure a good result every time you clip your horse's coat. To achieve this, the following are recommended:
-Always lubricate the blades before use with one or two drops of oil on the edge of the teeth.
-Wipe off excess oil to prevent it from coming into contact with the horse's coat.
-Some cleaners come in spray cans or plastic containers that you can dip the blade into. Both will clean and protect in one treatment.
-Cleaning sprays are also popular, and help remove hair and dirt from the blades while disinfecting and helping to cool them.
