FAQs
What is the blade length?
The total cutting blade length is 140mm.
Can these shears be used for heavy pruning?
These shears are designed for efficient grass trimming and pruning of hard branches, but are best suited for light to moderate pruning tasks. For very thick branches, a more robust tool may be necessary.
How do I adjust the blade angle?
The blades can be positioned manually at vertical, horizontal, or 45-degree angles to suit your trimming needs.
How often should I sharpen the blades?
The frequency of sharpening depends on usage. Sharpen the blades when you notice a decrease in cutting performance, typically after extended use or when cutting tougher materials.
What material are the blades made from?
The blades are made from quality high carbon steel with a heat-treated black oxide finish for durability.
Is there a safety feature?
Yes, the shears include a safety locking latch that secures the blades for safe storage.
How do I maintain the handle?
The handle is enameled and features a comfortable PVC vinyl grip. Clean with a damp cloth and dry. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Troubleshooting
Blades are not cutting cleanly.
The blades may be dull. Sharpen them using a whetstone or sharpening file. Ensure they are properly aligned.
Shears feel stiff or difficult to open/close.
Clean any debris from the pivot area. Apply a small amount of lubricant to the pivot point. Check that the safety latch is fully disengaged.
Blade adjustment mechanism is stuck.
Gently try to move the blades while applying light pressure. Clean the mechanism area. Do not force the adjustment.
Grass or branches are getting caught instead of cut.
Ensure you are using the correct blade angle for the task and that the material is not too thick for the shears. Check for blade sharpness.
