Specs

• 110 volt.
• Quieter. Less motor "whine", kind to your ears and less likely to upset animals.
• 2700 strokes per minute cutting speed.
• Permanent rare-earth magnet motor enable more torque (power) and require less space and weight than ordinary motors.Less heat is produced by the permanent magnet motor and the fan forces air forward through our heads- so the heads run 20 degrees F cooler.
• Up to 20% shorter in length than other motors.
• Weighs up to 15% less than other motors.
• Smaller grip than other motors.
• Sleek, low profile head design (sharp visual look that catches your eye and impresses observers).
• Internal roller bearings instead of bushings (less heat, less wear and greater longevity).
• Suspended fork system (reduces risk of stripping the gear drive or breaking comb teeth).
• No cutter retainer or retaining spring (both caused hassles and broke too readily).
• Improved tensioning concept (spring clip is more effective at retaining tension than cupped washers).
• No more black plastic sides (these were prone to falling off and frustrating users).
• Only 3 minutes to change a shear head to clipper head.
• Motor has a 16 ft electrical cord.

Preparing the Animal for Clipping

• Remove the dirt from the hair first. If this is not done, expect accelerated blade wear and a reduction in animals clipped between blade sharpenings in exact proportion to the amount of dirt present. The benefits of dirt removal prior to clipping cannot be over-emphasized. Example: Those who wash their lambs prior to clipping often clip 20–30 club lambs between sharpenings (if the blades have been sharpened properly on a lapping machine). Those who don’t and have lambs with sand and soil in the wool often clip less than two lambs between sharpenings.
• Washing the animal with soap and water removes the most dirt. If this is not practical, use a high power vacuum or blower to remove as much dirt as possible from the hair or wool.
• Restrain the animal. Few animals like the sound of a clipper or the feel of vibration on their skin. When they react to either without warning, accidents can and will happen. Therefore, for the sake of you, your animal and your clipper, restrain the animal properly prior to clipping.
