LITHIUM PRO SERIES CLIPPER
REAR LEGS
Important:
Be careful when clipping around the armpit
and the flank. There are areas of skin that are easy to
cut; especially on older dogs whose skin has loosened.
Brush the hair in the back of the legs in an upward and
outward motion, to fluff. You can now shape the legs as
full or as tapered as you wish.
Start by trimming any hair that falls over the foot (fig.17).
Starting at ankle cut up to a hip a little hair at a time
(fig.18). Once you are at the hip, blend hair so it tapers
into shorter body hair. (When using guide combs on
legs, complete your stroke; don’t stop midway.)
Repeat with other leg, making it the same size as
the first leg. Touch up with scissors.
FRONT LEGS
With the dog facing you, comb hair up and out.
Trim front legs to match the back legs. Comb hair at
shoulders and blend with shorter body hair. Comb hair
on chest and between front legs; trim it to the length of
the shoulder and body hair.
EARS
With the dog facing you, clip from the top of the ear
downward. Never turn the clipper in the other direction.
Lay the ear in the palm of your hand. Clip the outside of
the ear first and then the inside (fig.20). Hold ear with
your free hand and scissor cut the sides. Be careful not
to cut the ear itself (fig.21). Repeat with the other ear
and touch up any stray hairs.
