SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Thank you for purchasing the OsterTM Gentle Paws, Cordless Nail Grinder. It is a professional tool designed to meet the highest standards of performance allowing you to safely and efficiently clean, groom and trim pet nails. Although your Nail Grinder has been thoroughly tested and inspected at every stage of its manufacturing and assembly, it is recommended that you clean and maintain it as instructed in this manual. This will ensure optimum performance and maximum life of the Nail Grinder.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Tips for using this Nail Grinder

• Install batteries by sliding battery cover. Ensure batteries are aligned with + & – markings on the product.
• Due to less speed, noise and vibration, younger pets may be more comfortable with the low-speed setting. The low speed setting will also minimize Sanding Band heat and wear.
• Make sure animal is comfortable with Nail Grinder soundby turning unit on prior to starting the grinding process.
• Trimming a pet’s nail using this Nail Grinder requires both hands. Therefore it may be helpful to have assistance in those instances where pet requires restraint.
• Always keep hair away from spinning parts. If hair is accidentally caught in spinning Drum, immediately turn power OFF and untangle hair.
• When grinding around a furry pad, brush coat up and hold it out of the way of the Grinding Wheel. You can also isolate the nail by pushing it through a piece of gauze. This isolates the nail by keeping longer hair out of the way.
• For excessively long nails, first cut off tip with manual Nail Trimmer, then grind.

Installing Grinding Drum and Sanding Band

1. Be sure your Nail Grinder tool is turned off.

2. Turn Safety Guard counter clockwise until loosened and remove.

3. Remove Grinding Drum by pulling straight up and out of chamber.
   Remove current Band.

4. Add new Band and push Band back down into chamber.

5. Turn Safety Guard clockwise and close tightly.

4. Place Safety Guard on Nail Grinder by screwing on and securing tightly.
5. NOTE: Using the Nail Grinder without the Safety Guard can cause injury or damage to unprotected areas.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Turn it ON by moving switch to low (I) setting. The speed of the Nail Grinder can be adjusted between low (I) and high (II) with this switch. It is recommended to always start on the low setting. High speed can be used on dogs already conditioned and excepting of the Nail Grinder noise and feel. Large dogs may require high speed because of their thicker, larger nail.

2. Always start in speed (I). Hold the unit near the pet for a few seconds before filing to ensure your pet is comfortable. Once your pet is calm, take your pet’s paw and gently squeeze the nail between your thumb and pointer finger to push the nail forward

3. Insert a nail into the matching size hole in the Removable Safety Guard.
   CAUTION: Always operate Nail Grinder with Removable Safety Guard in place. Using the Nail Grinder without the Removable Safety Guard can cause injury or damage to unprotected areas.

4. Hold the Nail Grinder firmly without applying excessive force. Gently start grinding from the bottom. Continue up and over nails in a steady upward motion to ensure smooth edge, no more than 2-4 seconds at a time, alternating between nails. We do not recommend trimming a single nail all at one time. Continue to grind over edges of nails to remove any roughness.

5. Stop grinding when you get close to the “Quick” (bloodline in nail). You will see the Quick begin to appear when you look at the nail head on.

6. Turn Nail Grinder off by sliding switch to the center (OFF) position.

MAINTENANCE

With the exception of Grinding Drum, Sanding Bands and Sanding Stone, this Nail Grinder does not have user-serviceable parts. Any maintenance not explained in this manual should be performed by an Authorized Service Center.

Never clean Nail Grinder or replace Bands/Stone with motor ON. To clean, remove Safety Guard and use compressed dry air to clean debris from Drum/Stone/Band area. Plastic housing and Safety Guard can be easily wiped clean with a clean, damp (water) cloth.
