Clipper Tip #10

Tuesday is Andis Clipper Tip day here in the blog.

Clipper Tip #10 -- Don’t Go For a Swing
Use mid-length extension cords so that you are not supporting the entire length of the cord swinging between you and the outlet. Let the cord run along the floor. You only have to hold up the weight of the clipper and enough cord to get from your feet to your hand.

Be aware that the other end of the cord length spectrum is a problem too… unnecessarily long cords are searching for brooms to catch them and for feet to tangle up. I have seen many shop visitor have a very close call and a near miss fall from getting a foot hooked into a too long cord. Andis offers dog and horse clippers, some of which are very similar to human models. One of the good reasons NOT to use a comparable model in a people cutting environment is the excess cord length.
