OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Turn it ON by moving switch to low (I) setting. The speed ofthe
Nail Grinder can be adjusted between low (I) and high (II) with
this switch. It is recommended to always start on the low setting.
Highspeed can be used on dogs already conditioned and
excepting of the Nail Grinder noise and feel. Large dogs may
require high speed because of their thicker, larger nail.
2. Always start in speed (I). Hold the unit near the pet for a few
seconds before filing to ensure your pet is comfortable. Onceyour
pet is calm, take your pet’s paw and gently squeeze the nail
between your thumb and pointer finger to push the nail forward.
3. Insert a nail into the matching size hole in the Removable Safety
Guard.
CAUTION: Always operate Nail Grinder with Removable Safety
Guard in place. Using the Nail Grinder without the Removable
Safety Guard can cause injury or damage to unprotected areas.
4. Hold the Nail Grinder firmly without applying excessive force.
Gently start grinding from the bottom. Continue up and over nails
in a steady upward motion to ensure smooth edge, no more than
2-4 seconds at a time, alternating between nails. We donot
recommend trimming a single nail all at one time. Continue
togrind over edges of nails to remove any roughness.
