| Use: |
Place tool on coat with light pressure and
comb out in the direction of hair growth. |
| Note: |
going against or aside hair growth will cause
excessive cutting of hair. Only use once a week or every other week. (Too
much use could result in a bald pet!) |
| Quick Guide: |
Coarse & Medium styles (8 - 12 blades)
for prep work and thinning out undercoat.
Fine styles (16 - 20 blades) for grooming heavy coats. |
|
Use coarse styles to comb out mats, tangles
and the undercoat fine styles for finishing. |
