Instructions
Hold the clippers at about a 45-degree angle.
Attach the 20-tooth goat comb to the clippers. This will give the dog a very close to the skin haircut.
Turn the machine on.
Set it to the slowest speed from the tension knob. The slowest speed is 700 strokes per minute and the fastest speed is 3,000. You can go faster as you are comfortable with the machine and if you are ready to cut the dog's hair at a faster rate.
Get your dog to be still or use a noose to hold him in place. You don't want to be fighting the dog as you cut his hair.
Use the Showmaster clippers to trim the torso rather than the face or legs.
Clipper your dog in the direction of hair growth.
Cut the hair close to the skin as if you are shaving the dog.
How To Use Showmaster Clippers on a Dog
Showmaster clippers may be helpful to grooming businesses, especially when dealing with shaggy dogs. Although designed for horses, sheep and goats, these clippers can be used for dogs like poodles or schnauzers that typically get a haircut that is very close to the skin. The benefit of using these blades over normal dog clippers is that you can use these for up to 100 hours without oiling them; also, they stay cool in your hand while the motor is running. The 3-inch blade is about twice as wide as most dog clippers, so the grooming can be accomplished at a faster rate.
