More and more people choose to keep pets. We all know that if you keep a pet, you should be responsible for all its affairs and ensure its health. Among them, grooming is a very important part. Now let’s talk about what tools are needed for pet grooming as a professional groomer, and what are the uses of these tools? How to choose the suitable tools during grooming? How to maintain these tools? Let’s first introduce the commonly used grooming tool, the electric clipper.
The electric clipper is a necessary tool for every groomer and even some pet owners. The electric clipper is used to shave the pet’s hair, and a suitable pair of electric clippers is a good start for beginners or a novice pet owner. Professional electric scissors are highly practical for pet groomers, and with regular maintenance, they can even be used for a lifetime if they are well preserved.
The blade head of the electric clippers: Due to different shapes, professional electric hair clippers are equipped with multiple types of blade heads, and the blade heads of different brands can be used with different brands of electric clippers. They can be roughly divided into the following models.
• 1.6mm: Mainly used to shave the abdominal hair, with a very wide range of applications.
• 1mm: Used to shave the ears.
• 3mm: Shave the back of terrier dogs.
• 9mm: Used for the body trimming of Poodles, Pekingese, and Shih Tzus.
So how to use the pet hair electric clippers? The correct usage posture of the electric pet hair clippers is as follows:
(1) It is best to hold the electric clippers like holding a pen, and hold the electric clippers lightly and flexibly.
(2) Slide smoothly parallel to the dog’s skin, and move the blade head of electric pet hair clippers slowly and steadily.
(3) Avoid using too thin blade heads and repeated movements on sensitive skin areas.
(4) For skin folds, use fingers to spread the skin to avoid scratches.
(5) Due to the thin and soft skin of the ears, carefully push it flat on the palm, and be careful not to apply too much pressure to avoid damaging the skin at the edge of the ears.
Maintenance of the blade head of the electric hair clippers. Thorough maintenance can keep the electric clippers in good condition. Before using each electric clipper blade head, first remove the rust-proof protective layer. After each use, clean the electric clippers, apply lubricating oil, and also do periodic maintenance.
(1) Method of removing the rust-proof protective layer: Start the electric pet hair clippers in a small dish of remover, rub them in the remover, take out the blade head after ten seconds, then absorb the remaining reagent, apply a thin layer of lubricating oil, and wrap it in soft cloth for storage.
(2) Avoid overheating of the blade head during use.
(3) The coolant can not only cool the blade head, but also remove the adhered fine hairs and the remaining lubricating oil residue. The method is to remove the blade head, spray evenly on both sides, and it can cool down after a few seconds, and the coolant will evaporate naturally.
Dropping a drop of lubricating oil between the blades for maintenance can reduce the dry friction and excessive heat between the upper and lower blades, and has the effect of rust prevention.
