A Guide To Keeping Your Blades Sharp and Effective

1. Clean the blades after each use:

After every grooming session, make it a habit to remove any hair, dirt, or debris from the blades. Use a small brush or a toothbrush to gently clean the blade surfaces and remove any buildup.

2. Oil the blades regularly:

Proper lubrication is crucial for the smooth functioning of the clipper blades. Apply a few drops of clipper oil to the blades before and after each use to keep them well-lubricated. This will help reduce friction and prevent overheating.

3. Sharpen the blades when necessary:

Over time, clipper blades can become dull. Dull blades not only make grooming more difficult but can also cause discomfort to the dog. If you notice that the blades are not cutting as effectively as before, it may be time to send the away for sharpening.

4. Store the blades properly:

When not in use, make sure to store your clipper blades in a clean and dry place. Avoid leaving them exposed to moisture or dust, as this can damage the blades and affect their performance.

5. Replace worn-out blades:

With regular use, clipper blades can wear out over time. It's important to keep an eye on their condition and replace them when necessary. Worn-out blades can cause discomfort and may not provide an even cut.

Remember, proper care and maintenance of clipper blades will not only save you time and money in the long run but also ensure a safe and comfortable grooming experience for your beloved pet.

Wide Blade Care

In addition to the general care and maintenance tips mentioned above, wide blades require some extra attention due to their larger size.

Also, please note that clipper speed and power is highly important for good function of wide blades. The Joyzee Falcons are a great match with their high speed capability.

Here are some additional care tips specifically for wide blades:

1. Check for alignment:

Wide blades can sometimes become misaligned, which can affect their cutting efficiency. Regularly check the alignment of the blades to ensure they are properly aligned. If you notice any misalignment, refer to the manufacturer's instructions on how to adjust or realign the blades.

2. Use cooling spray:

Wide blades tend to generate more heat during prolonged use, which can be uncomfortable for your pet and may cause the blades to overheat. To prevent this, you can use a cooling spray specifically designed for clipper blades. Simply spray a small amount onto the blades during grooming to keep them cool.

3. Be cautious with thin or delicate areas:

Wide blades may not be suitable for thin or delicate areas of your dog's coat, such as the ears or paws. It's important to use narrower blades or trimmers for these areas to avoid accidental cuts or discomfort. Always exercise caution and use appropriate tools for different parts of the pet's body.

By following these additional care tips, you can ensure that your wide blades remain in good condition and provide effective and comfortable grooming for your dog. Remember to always refer to the manufacturer's instructions for specific care recommendations for your particular brand and model of wide blades.
