yeah. i had it on her nail for about 3 seconds and I could smell smoke...or smell the nail getting hot and smelling funny. neither one of us liked that.
I assume you left the tool on the nail too long or applied too much pressure. Here is what instructions say:
"-You never, ever apply pressure to the nail with grinding head. Allow the speed of the spinning drum and the friction of the sand to do the grinding. If you apply pressure, it will press on the quick and
it will get too hot. Both mean that your dog will be uncomfortable and unhappy.
-Never keep the Dremel in one spot longer than three seconds and never do the same nail for more than three seconds continuously. Once again, this will cause the head and the nail to get too hot. You will burn and hurt your baby. I alternate around nails and then come back to allow cooling time. I usually do two paws at a time. So, I do one nail for 3 seconds, the next, the next and the last. Switch paws and repeat on other paw. Return to first paw and repeat whole sequence."
