Lever - part that moves blade back and forth to make it cut. Link - transfers power from gear to lever. Gear - transmits power from armature to link and lever. Housing - outer plastic cover of clipper. Blade Cleaning and Cooling Use a blade cleaner to lubricate, deodorize and disinfect the blade before the first use and after each use.
Blades produce an incredible amount of friction.
Friction results in heat that can irritate, and even burn, a dog's skin. They improve cutting action by increasing clipper speed and will not leave an oily residue. Even if you're using the cooling products above, you will still need to frequently oil the blades. Blade oil is slightly heavier than the oil used in the spray coolants, so it does a much more efficient job of lubricating. Also, it will not dissipate as quickly as the oil left by the coolants.
