Specs
- 110 volt
- Quieter. Less motor "whine", kind to your ears and less likely to upset animals.
- 2700 strokes per minute cutting speed
- Permanent rare-earth magnet motor enable more torque (power) and require less space and weight than ordinary motors. Less heat is produced by the permanent magnet motor and the fan forces air forward through our heads—so the heads run 20°F cooler.
- Up to 20% shorter in length than other motors
- Weighs up to 15% less than other motors
- Smaller grip than other motors
- Sleek, low-profile ribs makes it easier to grip the tension knob
- Shorter tension bolt equals fewer turns needed to reset tension, so you spend less time changing and tensioning blades
- Internal roller bearings instead of bushings (less heat, less wear and greater longevity)
- Stainless steel inserts that are riveted in reduce the possibility of the inserts becoming loose
- Round steel drive in place of a plastic bushing makes fitting the top blade easier
- Includes 2 screws for attaching to motor
- Motor has a 16 ft electrical cord
- Only 3 minutes to change a clipper head to shear head
- Will drive Premier and Lister® clipper blades
- Designed and assembled in USA from domestic and foreign parts
Tips
Preparing the Animal for Clipping
- Remove the dirt from the hair first. If this is not done, expect accelerated blade wear and a reduction in animals clipped between blade sharpenings in exact proportion to the amount of dirt present. The benefits of dirt removal prior to clipping cannot be over-emphasized. Example: Those who wash their lambs prior to clipping often clip 20–30 club lambs between sharpenings (if the blades have been sharpened properly on a lapping machine). Those who don’t and have lambs with sand and soil in the wool often clip less than two lambs between sharpenings.
- Washing the animal with soap and water removes the most dirt. If this is not practical, use a high power vacuum or blower to remove as much dirt as possible from the hair or wool.
- Restrain the animal. Few animals like the sound of a clipper or the feel of vibration on their skin. When they react to either without warning, accidents can and will happen. Therefore, for the sake of you, your animal and your clipper, restrain the animal properly prior to clipping.
Precautions
Failure to oil as often as recommended may lead to excess heat and premature wear and tear.
Warning: Unlike some other clipper motors, this motor will neither slow down nor sound different when oil is needed. But failure to oil will quickly cause damage to the blades and drive head. So you MUST apply oil by time instead of sound. Apply a small amount of oil every 3 minutes to the tips of the teeth and each side of the blade by dipping them into a dish of oil or pouring oil directly onto the teeth with a small oil container and every 10 minutes drip oil into the small hole behind the tension knob assembly. Excessive wear can occur if not oiled properly!
Warning: Risk of electrical shock—Connect only to a branch circuit protected by a ground-fault circuit-interrupter (GFCI). Contact a qualified electrician if you cannot verify that the circuit is protected by a GFCI.

We just purchasd the Premier 4000C clippers for our children who are beginning to show 4H and open shows. They are so easy for the kids to handle since they are lightweight and stay cool while running. Our daughter is able to slick shear her show lambs all by herself, which is less work for mom & dad. We absolutely love these clippers!!!

My 10 year old who runs our Nigerian Dwarf show/dairy breeding business here at Flying G Farm was so excited to receive the clippers. We researched them and expected them to be the best. We bought them after borrowing my sister's clippers, which broke before the first goat was finished. I was glad to hear from Sara at Premier that the Premier clippers did not require a blade wash or oil bath. I was surprised how well our 2 does did with the clipping process, and it seemed hard to nick them. The large clippers were a little unwieldy on the head area, and around the lower legs, but perhaps a good grooming table to properly restrain the animals will help for this. It was so fun to clip, that I am sure we will be clipping all the other goats just for fun. Besides, it keeps them cool in the heat and prevents lice, and we will each get to have our turn with the clipper. The clippers were no problem to oil and use, except we might like the premier oil bottle to have a narrow tip to fit the oil hole. We had to use W D 40 with the red straw attached to oil the gears. The on off switch shuts off by itself sometimes, but it is important to have the switch handy, as it is better for the blades if the clipper is off. I think we will use earplugs with the clippers, but might check w/ customer service and make sure everything sounds all right, and that I have the tension adjusted right.

We've always had someone shear our 19 Llamas but this year our shearer was sick. After talking with others about what they recommended, the Premier 4000C Clippers were mentioned several times. We purchased these clippers and they have met my needs perfectly. They are much lighter in weight than other clippers and the blades are very easy to change out. I guess you'd call them "user friendly" clippers. The online instructional video was also very helpful. I would highly recommend this product!
Denise C from Colorado
I bought this as a gift for my sister who has a couple of llamas and some sheep. She loves it and it does exactly what she needs it to do - keep the animals cool in the Texas heat. She did note that it would be helpful to have an extra set of blades as it speeds up getting things done.
Laurie Jo E from Colorado
Just got this clipper. We,ve already clipped the dog and three show steers. I love them, there light, quiet, they don't blow hair and they stay cool. PERFECT!!!
