How do you prevent the dog's paw fur from getting bound up as the dremel spins? This happened once &amp; I've been leary of using it since.

If you absolutely need to make sure the fur is out of the way, use pantyhose and just poke the nails through.

On my ProHeat Pet the brushes stop when the handle is locked upright, I presume so you don't park it and wear a hole in the carpet. Once you lower the handle to start cleaning again they start spinning again.

I would think things like dog hair would clog the reels-we always vacuum before cleaning to help remove the loose debris to prevent this but I havent used it on any heavy dog or pet hair-always vacuum first especially heavy piles-this a cleaner not a vacuum so vacuuming first is the key-hope that helps but havent had any issues and seems like different circumstances-have you contacted the manufacturer and followed their manual

Mine work great although I do not use the comb(s). Did you disconnect the blade when you oiled it. If so, ensure that you have properly put the blade back into place according to the instructions. With the blade off, see if the latch is moving back and forth which drives the clipper blade. Also remember that there are many blade types for differing lengths of cut and type of fur. (I hope this helps)

Perhaps you bent the blades a little when taking them apart. (I did that once on one of my previous Panasonic trimmers.) If the shaft spins freely without binding up when you have it taken apart, you know it's the blades. If that's the case, I would try GENTLY squeezing them in just a little bit.

I had the same problem when I first attached the blade....and the instructions sucked; I had to figure out how to do it myself. Vibrated so bad that I couldn't hold it. I simply took the blade off and flipped it over and reattached it and that solved it completely. It runs as smoothly and powerfully as I could want now.

I saw that the other response says the teeth are too far apart to effectively collect fur. I use a rubber curry sort of affair for that but this baby is the best for handling tangles and matted fur.

I worry about ALL prong collars falling off, they tend to twist and release themselves. I put a short rope connecting the round ring on the prong collar to another collar (flat buckle or nylon choke) this way If the prong comes loose, the dog will still be connected to the leash. Photo is on the Amazon site for Herm Springer prong collar. Best of luck with your lab! :)

I used the rubber tip too. I believe that what why it was provided. My dogs haven't had any issues to date.

I had that repeatedly this week -- I removed the brush multiple times and couldn't see a thing. Eventually I found there was a clump of dog hair buried deep under the rubber band that makes the brush roll. Only a tiny bit of it was poking out but eventually I was able to work the clump out completely. I find this message appears a lot less often if I empty the dirt bin before the machine asks me to - in the middle of a sweep, or while it is recharging before it goes out again.

I've not used the 7700, so I'm not familiar with it. The dremel rotates horizontally. I have big dogs, so I usually trim their nails after a walk to burn off some energy first. They lay on their side w/me kneeling next to them to trim their nails. With my biggest dog (German Shepherd), I trim the nails on the feet on the paws she's laying on, then have her lay on her other side to do the same thing on the other 2 paws. The dremel has been a life safer. It's so much less stressful than a trip to the vet.

I am using the brown sanding belt attachment that came in the kit. I believe there are three or so of those. Beginning on a low speed, after the dog adjusts, I can use the higher revolution for quicker trimming. Also, use some pressure against the nail and it works so much faster. Just beware the paw hair!!!

The rivets I received were split down the middle such that when you spread them out, they stay in place. You can use a small set of pliars to spread them out. I would reccomend putting the smooth rivet head on the inside of the collar. If installed as the picture shows, the rivets may cause some irration to your animals neck.

I did have the same problem when I first used it. I shut off the trimmer and moved the blade head with my hand ( or hit it on your palm) and it was fine after that.

On my unit the 3 screws that hold the blade will not release. I have tried both directions...thinking they may be reverse thread...still no movement.Tried some penetrant...no luck.Any thoughts

I don't have that problem. I suspect that the blade cover (housing) is not properly inserted into machine. The gap between blade and blade cover is pretty small such that only minimal debris is collected. That has been my experience.

Oh. The reason it gets stuck is cause of the brush on its side. I bet if u removed that with a screwdriver. The issue would go away.
