WELCOME TO DREMEL!
Thank you for purchasing the Dremel Paw Control! We hope that you find it to be one of the handiest and most versatile tools you’ll awn. This guide has what you need to start grooming your pet’s nails in a few easy steps.

GETTING TO KNOW THE TOOL

The kit includes Pet Grooming accessories & attachments for both the novice and the experienced groomer. We recommend using the combination that feels most comfortable for you and your pet. For freehand grooming for the experienced groomer, we recommend using the 407 sanding band & mandrel (Figure 1). For the novice groomer, we recommend using the Nail Grooming Attachment with SD60-PGA Sanding Disc & EZ 402 mandrel (Figure 2).

BEYOND PET GROOMING!

Dremel is known for its versatility, and your Pet Grooming kit is no different! Dremel Rotary Tools can tackle a variety of tasks outside of grooming your pet’s nails. These handy tools allow you to sand, grind, polish, or engrave, depending on the type of accessory being used.

GETTING STARTED

1. CHARGE IT!                                                                                                                 Fully charge the tool before use (approximately 2 hours & 45 minutes).

For optimal run-time, charge tool using a 5V/1a minimum power adapter.

TIP: A red LED light will turn on when the tool stalls. If this happens, remove the tool from the material, shut the tool off, & resume use without excess pressure. If stalling persists, consider using a different accessory, technique, or tool for the job.

2. SELECT THE RIGHT ACCESSORY
Your kit includes two combinations of nail grooming accessories to use with your pet.

*Recommended maximum operating speed for pet grooming applications is 10,000/min. Use extreme caution for higher speeds and limit the amount of time that the nail is exposed to the sanding surface. Use of higher operating speeds may cause heat buildup and injury to the pet. Always monitor pet for signs of discomfort and stop grooming if observed. Refer to Operating Speeds’ section of instructional manual for proper tool speed setting.

When changing accessories, insert the new one into the collet as far as possible to minimize run out & unbalance. Avoid excessive tightening of the collet nut when there is no bit inserted (Figure 4). Always check that the accessory is securely installed before operating the tool.

If you and your pet are new to Dremel pet nail grooming, start by easing into the process. Train your pet to feel comfortable with the tool running and work your way up to nail trimming. This process may take a couple of days or weeks. Every pet is unique. Rest assured that both you and your pet will be able to relax and even enjoy the grooming time that you share together.

Tip: Before trimming your pet’s nails, identify where the nail quick starts. Avoid cutting into the quick (Figure 5). inserted, use the shank of the accessory to gently loosen the collet from the collet nut.
