NAIL ANATOMY
Before grinding your animal's nails, you need to be
able to identify the "quick" of the nail. The quick is the
inner soft part of the nail containing blood vessels and
nerve endings; it is surrounded by a hard outer cover.
Should you hit or cut the quick, the animal will feel
pain and may bleed.
In animals with light colored nails, the quick is usually a pinkish color, which makes
it easier to avoid. In animals with dark colored nails, the quick is usually a dark spot
in the middle of the grinding area. In both cases, grind a little at a time, and keep
checking for the quick.
ANIMAL SAFETY AND AUTOMATIC SHUT-OFF
The animal should be secured during grinding process. It might be helpful to have
another person help to restrain the animal if necessary.
Keep hair away from spinning parts. If hair gets entangled in the tool, or
excess pressure is applied to grinding wheel, unit will stop automatically.
If unit stops automatically, it will reset itself and restart after a few seconds,
once pressure or hair is cleared.
GRINDING NAILS
Your Andis nail grinder comes with LO and HIGH speed operation. Use the LO setting
(Setting #1) for most nail grinding needs. Use the HIGH speed setting (Setting #2)
for large animals or nail buffing applications. To start nail grinder, move switch
button up to the #1 or #2 position. To stop, press switch back down to the original
(#0) position. After using your Andis nail grinder, rewrap cord and place in storage
case provided.
1. Turn grinder on and select either LO (7,000 RPM) or HIGH (12,000 RPM) speed
operation.
2. Separate the animal's toes by placing your thumb between the pads and hold foot
securely. Push long hair away from the foot to avoid tangling or pulling. You can
try placing a nylon stocking over the foot and pushing nails through the nylon to
allow easy access to nails while keeping hair out of the way.
3. Support the toe and nail in one hand while using the nail grinder in the other
hand. This keeps vibrations to a minimum and is more comfortable for the animal.
4. To get a smooth edge, grind from the bottom of the nail up towards the tip.
