Before Using PediPaws^TM:

• Before using PediPaws^TM, spend some time to properly introduce the device to your pet. This will make using PediPaws^TMmuch easier once it’s time to begin filing. The following steps may be helpful in making your pet more comfortable with the PediPaws^TM.
• 1. Turn on PediPaws^TMand give your pet a delicious treat. Move PediPaws^TMclose to your pet and give him or her enthusiastic praise.
• 2. As necessary, repeat step 1 each day until your pet is completely comfortable around PediPaws^TM.
• 3. Now turn on PediPaws^TMand have a treat ready. This time we will file the TIP of ONE of your pet’s nails. (Read the full instructions before use.) After filing, praise and reward your pet with a treat.
• 4. Next we will do one whole paw. Alternate nails and only file each nail for a few seconds. When finished, reward your pet with praise and a treat.
• 5. At this point your pet should be comfortable getting a full PediPaws^TMpedicure. If not, there is a position to hold your pet that works even if he or she is uncooperative.

Holding Your Pet:

• If your pet is not comfortable receiving a PediPaws^TMpedicure (after the previous introduction process), you may choose from one of the following sested approaches. Some people find it easiest to have the pet sit on your lap, while some prefer to have the pet lay on his or her side. You may decide to lay your pet on his or her back. Find a position that works best for both of you . BUT, If after the introduction period your pet is still nervous around PediPaws^TM, there is a position which works the best:
• 1. Lay your pet on his stoh and position yourself over your pet. Use your body weight and your arm reang over the top to control your pet as shown in Figure 1.
• 2. Begin the PediPaws^TMpedicure according to the instructions.
• 3. If your pet resists or tries to squirm away, DO NOT ALLOW IT! The strling is only temporary. By letting your pet espe, you will reinforce this evasive behavior.
  YOU ARE IN CHARGE!
  The more assertive you are, the more comfortable your pet will become. This point is crucial: be assertive, hold your pet as described above, and complete the pedicure.
  NEVER LET HIM OR HER GO! Your pet will quickly realize that PediPaws^TMis painless and will be lmed by your assertiveness.
• 4. For the back paws use the same position as above but face the other way.
  NOTE: Only use PediPaws^TMon an animal you are familiar with. Do not put your safety at risk. If an animal becomes aggressive, stop using PediPaws^TMimmediately.

Trimming Your Pet’s Nails:

• Use PediPaws^TMon a soft, comfortable spot like a rpeted floor, bed or sofa.
• 1. Take your pet’s paw and support a single nail with your thumb and forefinger. This is essential. You must always support the nail before filing. See Figure 2.
• 2. Always make sure the orange protective p is screwed on securely before filing. Turn on PediPaws^TMand insert a nail into the opening in the orange protective p. Start gently filing the nail. File the nail for no more than 3 to 5 seconds at a time before alternating nails. Always alternate nails. This insures your pet does not experience any discomfort due to excessive friction. Always look at the nail after every 3 to 5 second filing. This will insure you do not file too much. Over filing n result in injury to your pet. 3. Always file in a rounded motion to give the nails a smooth blunt feel.
• 4. File the upper part of the nail in addition to just the bottom; this is the secret to a good PediPaws^TMpedicure. The top portion of the nail is where most of the growth occurs and is usually the sharpest part. File the nail little-by-little until it is rounded and smooth.

How Do I KnowWhen To Stop Filing?

• If this is your first time using PediPaws^TM, be very reful not to file too much nail off. Be conservative: only round off sharp edges and obvious growths. As you and your pet become more comfortable with PediPaws^TM, you may try to get closer to the quick. This is the inner part of the nail which contains nerves and a blood vessel. The reason traditional nail clipping n be so painful and bloody is beuse the clippers squeeze or cut through the quick. Between the hard enamel layer and the quick there is a softer leathery layer. Once you reach this layer you should stop filing. Looking at the nail from the front, you should be able to see the quick emerging from underneath the layers of enamel. Always remember to look at the nail after every 3 to 5 second filing.

After Use:

• Turn off PediPaws^TM, empty filings, wipe off with a dry cloth and store in a safe, dry lotion away from ldren. Remove batteries from PediPaws^TMif it will not be used again for a period of time.

Changing Emery Filing Band:

• 1. Turn off PediPaws and remove batteries before opening the orange protective p.
• 2. Unscrew the orange protective p.
• 3. Holding the emery barrel between your fingers firmly, loosen the single screw on the top of the emery filing band by turning the screw counter clockwise.
• 4. Slide off old emery filing band and replace with a new one.
• 5. Retighten screw on top of wheel.
• 6. Screw on orange protective p and reinsert batteries.
