To ensure thorough cleaning and extend the lifespan of the equipment, it is recommended to remove the blade of the pet hair shaver and clean it. The following are specific reasons and operational points:
1. Thoroughly clean
The gap between the blade is prone to dirt and grime accumulation: grease, debris, and flakes are prone to accumulate between the blade and comb teeth. Simply wiping the surface cannot remove internal residues, and long-term accumulation can cause the blade head to jam and rust.
Rinse dead corner cover: After disassembly, the hidden areas such as the bottom of the blade and the spring groove can be directly rinsed to avoid dirt hardening and affecting operation.
2. Prevent damage to parts
Avoid water ingress and short circuit: The motor compartment of the machine body is mostly designed to be enclosed. If the blade is not removed and washed directly, water flow can easily penetrate the circuit board through the interface gap between the blade and the machine body, causing malfunctions.
Protect blade sharpness: After the blade head is separated, a soft bristled brush can be used to clean the blade edge separately to avoid rough wiping and scratching.
3. Safety operation tips
Power off operation: Before cleaning, be sure to turn off the power and unplug the power (or remove the battery) to prevent accidental contact with the switch.
Dismantling by structure: Most blade heads are fixed with snap fasteners or screws (commonly straight/cross screws), and can be removed by pressing the snap fasteners on both sides with fingers, without forcibly pulling or pulling them.
4. Cleaning and maintenance steps
Step 1: Pre treatment of hair debris: Use the included small brush to sweep away the floating hair on the surface of the blade, and then use a cotton swab to remove the tangled hair clumps stuck at the root of the comb teeth.
Step 2: Soak the deeply degreased blade in a neutral detergent solution (such as diluted dishwashing detergent) for 5 minutes, gently brush the gaps with a soft toothbrush, and rinse with clean water.
Step 3: Dry the rust proof blade thoroughly (or blow dry with cold air), apply 1-2 drops of sewing machine oil to lubricate and rust proof the blade, and then reinstall it onto the machine body.
Step | Procedure | Key Reason & Benefit |
1. Removal | Always detach the blade head from the clipper body before cleaning. | Prevents electrical damage: Separating components stops water from seeping into the motor/electronics. Allows full access to trapped debris. |
2. Dry Brushing | Use the provided small brush to scrape off loose hair and skin flakes from the blade teeth and housing. | Clears blockages: Removes surface debris that causes friction, overheating, or poor cutting performance. |
3. Soak & Scrub | Immerse only the blade head in warm, soapy water (mild detergent). Gently scrub crevices with a soft brush. | Dissolves oils/grease: Breaks down sticky pet dander and fur oils lodged between blades. Never submerge the clipper body. |
4. Rinse & Dry | Rinse blade thoroughly under running water. Air-dry completely on a towel before reassembly. | Prevents rust & corrosion: Moisture left in joints dulls blades or damages internal springs. Overnight drying is optimal. |
5. Lubrication | Apply 1-2 drops of clipper oil to blade teeth after drying. Wipe off excess with a cloth. | Maintains sharpness & glide: Reduces friction, prevents rust, and extends blade life. Essential after every wash. |
6. Body Wipe | Wipe the clipper body with a damp cloth (lightly dampened if non-waterproof). Avoid liquid ingress. | Safeguards electronics: Cleans handle/grip without risking water damage to internal components. |
