I have it and have used it before. I didn't get any sparks. Sometimes the nail would hit the safety part and he'd pull away for that. I took off the orange saftey part and it's been soooooo much easier. I can move it around easier, and I didn't have to worry about it pulling his nail towards the edge. He calmed down and actually dozed off while I was doing it. I think this is a great product. If you can get your baby to calm down and not have to worry about him/her jerking, then I'd try to take off the safety. If you do, make sure you trim the hair around their nails or put panty hoses on their paw to hold the hair back.
