If your clippers become too hot and stop clipping, for example: when shaving your dog - just dip them in alcohol while they are still running, and this will cool them off enough so that they continue to clip!
By Julia Laskowski
Editor's Note: I would unplug the Clippers before doing this. Another thing you can do is dip a toothbrush in alcohol and brush the hair out of the clipper blade. Also, keeping the Clippers oiled with a little 3 in 1 oil after each use you should keep them running smoothly.
That could be dangerous. It's like dipping them in water. You can buy coolent in a spray that is made to cool the clippers. Yes hot clippers can cause a serious burn......
