Clear the comb and cutter of lanolin and dirt after every sheep, and oil the machine according to the manufacturer's manual. Keep hand shears sharp with a whetstone and dry them after use, so they do not rust. Only shear sheep with dry wool; moisture makes shearing harder and clogs the comb faster.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePoints to note\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSheep shearing is a skill. If you are doing it for the first time, you will benefit from a course or an afternoon watching an experienced shearer. With the battery, pay attention to charging time, and with a larger flock consider taking a second battery, so you do not come to a halt halfway.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor cattle and horse models from the same manufacturer, see \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/livestock-clippers\"\u003eshearing machines for sheep and livestock\u003c\/a\u003e.
