Designed for a variety of procedures, each blade provides
• Always rest the base of the clipping blade flat against the patient’s skin. Do not change a close cut while maintaining skin integrity.
the angle or toe in the blade in an attempt to get a closer clip. Little to no downward
pressure is needed for the clipper to remove hair.
• Always hold the skin taut with one hand while clipping with the other to ensure a smooth
surface for clipping. This technique is especially important when clipping areas with loose
skin. Avoid clipping over skin tags and other inconsistencies on the surface of the skin.
• Always move the clippers away from your body with a gentle push. Do not pull the
clippers toward you across the patient’s skin, and never apply a greater force than
necessary.

agents or dilute acids/bases. Disinfectants containing benzyl alcohol can cause
chemical damage to the external surface of the clipper handle or charger. This could
void the warranty on the device. Submersion cannot exceed one meter depth for up to
30 minutes.
** It is recommended that clinicians unplug the charger from a power source when the
solid orange light is no longer illuminated, indicating the device is fully charged.
