Step 1: Keeping nails, fingers, and paws away from the clipper sensor and cutting blades,
turn the clipper on by pushing and releasing the power button (see Illustration 4).
When the unit is turned on, the YELLOW light will blink on the frosted signal strip
and will continue to blink for several seconds (see Illustration 5). When the unit
has self-calibrated (the sensor has readied itself), the YELLOW light will turn off and
only the RED light will remain on. Then release the safety latch. If you release the safety latch before
powering on the unit, the unit will not calibrate properly. (Power on
first)
The QuickFinder® deluxe™ is now ready to
begin clipping your pet’s nails. |

Step 2: With sensor ready to
read the quick and with the sensor
facing the paw, insert
nail
tip through cutting blades. Be sure the nail is positioned toward the sensor. The clipper and sensor are designed to operate correctly when the cutting blades
are at a right angle to the nail. Keep the nail at a right angle to the clipper blades
throughout the process. The sensor registers blood in the quick, but will also register
blood in your pet’s paw or in your own finger. It is important to be sure only the quick
in your pet’s nail is being detected and not the blood from your hand or your pet’s
paw. Be sure to keep the paw and your hand and fingers away from the sensor. |

Step 3: With the tip of the nail inserted through the cutting blades, move the clipper toward the
paw to the base of the nail (see Illustration 10). The light will remain RED even after it
has detected the quick. Once the QuickFinder® deluxe™ has detected the quick at the base of the nail, begin
moving cutting blades back toward tip of nail (see Illustration 11) until the frosted
signal strip illuminates GREEN indicating you have cleared the quick and it is safe to
cut. (The YELLOW light may briefly illuminate as the blade and sensor approach the
area of the nail near the quick. It is not safe to clip when YELLOW or RED lights are
on.)

Step 4: While maintaining position
and angle (90º) of clipper, squeeze handles
together in firm swift motion to avoid crushing
nail. It is normal for GREEN light to turn
off at end of clipping action after blade has cut
through nail. If RED light stays on, power off device
and restart clipping process (Step 1).
The QuickFinder® deluxe™ will automatically turn
off in open position (Handles not depressed).
