简体中文Pet hair shavers are usually equipped with protective structures, mainly used to protect pet skin from direct scratches by the blade, while assisting in grooming hair. The following is a breakdown of key protective designs:
1. Comb tooth protection component
Most products are equipped with adjustable comb plates under the blade, and the tooth spacing can be manually adjusted by sliding according to hair length or trimming needs. When using, comb the hair first and then trim it to avoid pulling or sticking the hair. At the same time, the comb teeth form a physical barrier with the skin to prevent the blade from directly contacting the skin and causing scratches.
2. Floating buffer design
The protective comb board is connected to the body through springs or damping rods, and automatically rebounds and buffers when encountering uneven skin areas during the shearing process. For example, springs and damping rods are installed between the comb and the body, which automatically lift when the blade is pressed too tightly, dispersing pressure and reducing skin friction.
3. Detachable protective cover
Some models offer plastic protective cover accessories of different thicknesses, with a snap on cover on the outside of the blade, limiting the fixed distance between the blade and the skin during trimming. Suitable for fine trimming of beginners or sensitive areas, such as the abdomen and joints.
4. Blade protection structure
The shaving head of the shaver is often designed with rounded or curved edges to reduce irritation to the skin caused by sharp edges; Some high-end models of blades are covered with a flexible adhesive layer to further reduce the risk of scratches.
5. Emergency shutdown protection
The built-in sensing device automatically shuts off the power when the blade temperature rises abnormally or gets stuck, preventing pets from being burned or the motor from being damaged. Some products also use vibration amplitude adjustment knobs to control the cutting force of the blade, adapting to the trimming needs of different parts.
| Component Name | Function & Protection | Typical Usage Tip |
| Adjustable Comb Attachment | Plastic teeth fit over blades, lifting hair and setting a safe cutting distance from skin. Prevents nicks and regulates fur length. | Slide to choose desired hair length before trimming; works well on body & legs. |
| Floating/Self-adjusting Head | Spring-loaded blade system that moves vertically to follow body curves. Reduces pressure and uneven cuts on joints/bony areas. | Apply gentle, even pressure; lets the head glide naturally over hips, shoulders, or tail. |
| Snap-on Safety Guards | Plastic covers (multiple thicknesses) that clip onto blades. Creates a fixed gap between blade and skin for ultra-safe trimming. | Use shorter guards (e.g., 3mm) for sensitive spots like belly, armpits, or thin-skinned areas. |
| Rounded/Safety Blade Tips | Blade edges are ground or capped with smooth material (e.g., ceramic coating). Minimizes skin irritation and accidental scratches. | Ideal for delicate trimming near eyes, ears, groin, or on anxious pets. |
| Overheat Protection | Auto-shutoff triggers if motor temperature rises excessively. Prevents burns from hot blades and protects clipper motor. | Avoid prolonged continuous use; pause if clipper feels hot or smells unusual. |
| Jam Protection | Motor stops or reverses automatically if blades get stuck on tangled/matted fur. Prevents pulling fur and motor damage. | Always brush/de-matt fur thoroughly before clipping to reduce jamming risks. |
