Using blade oil to care for your blades
You should oil blades every 10-15 minutes of use as depicted in the image below.
Blade oil lubricates moving parts of the blade to reduce heat build up.
Blade Wash
After each dog and at the end of day disinfect and clean blades withH42 blade wash.
Detach blades from clipper and dip blades in blade wash jar and wipe with soft cloth or spray on blades with spray bottle
Keeping your blades nice and sharp!
Blades need to be sharpened when they start to drag and are not cutting as effectively.
This depends on many factors like how often you use your blades, how you use them and on what the condition of the dogs you are grooming (very dirty dogs or matted dogs etc)
