upper blade by sliding it out from under the tension spring
(do not loosen tension spring screws) and wiping the mating
surfaces of the blades clean. Slide the upper blade back into
position, re-assemble back on the clipper and apply a light
film of oil to the blades (preferably with the clipper running).
6. After grooming, submerge the cutting blades in Blade Wash.
Wipe dry. Use Spray Disinfectant liberally on the cutting
blades. Wipe dry with a clean cloth and apply a thin film of
Oil before grooming again.
Never turn on the motor of an animal clipper close to the horse,
especially where the horse cannot see it. Introduce it to the horse
and condition the horse to the new sound.
To introduce a horse to an animal clipper, hold the unit with the
switch OFF, close enough to the horse for the horse to see and
smell it, before starting to clip.
It may be less disturbing to the animal to begin body clipping on
the left shoulder. He is probably accustomed to being handled
on the left side and to being touched on the shoulder or neck.
Certain areas of the horse will require special attention –
between the front legs, the face, and the legs. There are folds of
skin where the leg joins the body. When clipping this area,
smooth the skin with your free hand. Smaller clippers may be
necessary for clipping the face, ears, and around the fetlocks.
The skin of the horse is very sensitive. Should the blades
become too hot, they may burn or frighten the horse. Lubricate
the clippers frequently.
