Operation
CAUTION :
0 The rasp blade, holder and drive shaft must be sterilized each time the tool is used and between each horse, to prevent the spread or cross infection of any disease, virus, etc.
0 Do not run the motor in the horse’s presence before rasping as it is a new noise and may startle the horse.
0 At all times while rasping, watch the horse’s facial expressions.
1.Pack a horse you are familiar with when using the tool for the first time.
2.Position the horse the same way you would for hand rasping.
3.Begin by using the tool to rasp the horse‘s teeth manually. Then switch it ON after a while.
4.If the horse becomes upset after you begin rasping, switch the tool OFF but keep the rasp blade contacting the teeth and continue to rasp manually. Never remove the tool from the horse’s mouth.
5.Once the horse calms down, switch ON again. Repeat the above procedure (steps3 - 4 ) until the horse gradually becomes accustomed to rasping with the tool.
