LITHIUM PRO SERIES CLIPPER
FACE AND THROAT
Be very careful around this area, clipping too close
may cause razor burns. In most cases you should use
the clippers in the same direction as the lie of the coat.
However if you wish to obtain a closer cut, then the
clippers may be used against the lie of the coat.
The clipper must not be used above or around the eyes.
When clipping ears lift them to ensure no creases or
folds of skin are on the area to be clipped (fig.11).
Hold muzzle with your free hand. Cut from ear to the
outside corner of the eye in a straight line.
Stretch the skin at the outside corner of the left eye
upward and backward. Clip carefully under eye. Repeat
on other side. With free hand, stretch the corner of the
mouth with your thumb,using the rest of your hand to
hold the mouth shut. Clip around mouth and side of
face. Repeat on other side.
Holding muzzle, clip the area between the eyes and
down the nose. To clip the muzzle, clip away from the
eyes toward the nose.
Hold the dogs head straight, throat taught, and clip
bottom of muzzle (fig.14) the adams apple is normally
the stopping point of the cut but you may clip lower. Clip
the rest of the throat toward the muzzle.
