Heiniger Saphir Basic Small Animal Cordless ClipperWith No.10 Blade (Cordless)

The Heiniger Saphir Basic is widely regarded as a powerhouse in the grooming world, known for its Swiss engineering and high-performance reliability. While it’s the "Basic" version of the Saphir line, it doesn't skimp on the heavy-duty power needed for small animal grooming.

## Technical Specifications

The Saphir Basic is designed for continuous, heavy use. Here is the breakdown of its core mechanics:

## Key Features & Performance

• Swiss Precision: Engineered and manufactured in Switzerland, ensuring high build quality and a long motor lifespan.

   

• Cordless Freedom: The high-capacity Lithium-Ion battery allows for total mobility around the animal without the risk of tripping over or tangling cords.

   

• Universal Blade System: It is compatible with all A5-style snap-on blades (Andis, Oster, Wahl, etc.). This makes it incredibly versatile for different coat types.

   

• Ergonomic Design: Despite its power, the clipper is balanced and slim, which helps reduce wrist fatigue during long grooming sessions.

   

• Quiet Operation: The motor is designed to be quiet, which is essential for grooming nervous or noise-sensitive small animals.

   

## Included in the Box

The "Basic" kit is a streamlined version intended to get you started immediately at a more accessible price point than the full Saphir sets. It typically includes:

1. The Saphir Basic Clipper

## Maintenance Tips for Longevity

To keep your Saphir running like new, follow these basic steps:

• Oil Frequently: Apply 2–3 drops of clipper oil to the blade every 15 minutes of use to prevent overheating and friction wear.

• Clean the Hinge: Use the provided brush to clear out hair from the blade drive and hinge area after every session.

• Battery Health: Lithium-Ion batteries prefer not to be fully depleted. Try to pop it back on the charger before it hits 0% to extend its total life cycle.
